Our Vision
Integrated Community and Sustainable Development.
Our Aim
The aim of AVA is to promote social justice and environmental justice.
Rooted in partnership, justice, and sustainable development
The beginning of AVA is rooted in an International Conference organised at Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi, Uganda, September 1998, under the theme of eradicating poverty. In 1999, a National Workshop was held at UMU and a decision was taken to form AVA, later registered in 2001. Since then, AVA has promoted social and environmental justice while advancing sustainable development.
