National Resistance Movement

The National Resistance Movement was founded as a Liberation Movement that waged a successful protracted people's struggle that liberated Uganda from fascist and dictatorial regimes. The NRM restored political stability, respect for human rights, national unity, peace, security, law and order, Constitutionalism and the rule of law.

NRM launched and executed a minimum economic recovery programme through rehabilitation and development of socio-economic infrastructure, reduction and control of inflation, promotion of local and foreign investment, promotion of private sector led growth and export oriented production.

The National Resistance Movement introduced democracy and enfranchised the people of Uganda through restoration of the vote in regular, free and fair elections.

The National Resistance Movement politically empowered previously marginalised sections of society — women, youth, elders, people with disabilities and workers — to play their rightful role in management of public affairs.

The National Resistance Movement established participatory democracy through a policy of decentralisation and self-governance through local councils, leading to political empowerment of the people and social harmony.

The Movement Political System was established and operated to enhance the people's participation in the political, social and economic development of the country.
