WHY WAS IT FORMED?

PACONET was formed as a result of the CBO’s, NGO’s, and FBO’s emerging in Pallisa, Kibuku and Budaka districts with limited coordination and collaboration. Different players   over the years operated in isolation with little impact. A rising out of this gap,  different civil society organizations in Pallisa, Kibuku  and Budaka districts came together to form PACONET.The purpose was therefore to develop strong common positions for addressing poverty through sharing of information, experiences as well as resources, among others.
