The Alliance of Mayors and Municipal Leaders’ Initiative for Community Action on AIDS at the
Local Level (AMICAALL) is an association of African Mayors and other Urban Leaders formed
to support sustainable solutions to the HIV and AIDS epidemic in African Cities and
Municipalities.
AMICAALL Uganda Chapter was launched on 28th November 2000 at the Mayors’ Parlour City
Hall – Kampala where Ugandan Mayors, under the leadership of Kampala Capital City signed
the Kampala Declaration to promote actions that contribute to limiting the spread of HIV and
alleviate the social and economic impact of the epidemic on urban and peri-urban
communities in Uganda.
The chapter has since registered and operated as a National Non-Government Organization
primarily targeting urban local governments in the National HIV/AIDS response and
spearheads the urban HIV and AIDS response. Because of its uniqueness of being the only
urban-focused non-governmental organization with the mandate of urban local governments
to coordinate their response, AMICAALL leverages on its mandate to strengthen the capacity
of the Mayors, other elected urban Local Government Leaders as well as technical leaders to
coordinate the decentralized urban HIV&AIDS response, play an oversight, stewardship and
accountability role, planning and resource mobilization, advocacy and lobby, community
mobilization and demand creation in order to ensure effective and efficient delivery of
HIV/AIDS and other health services.
