Mission and objectivesEnabling Rural Opportunity Network (ERONet). Formally Agoro Community Development Asociation (ACDA) is a women-centered, community-based organization in Northern Uganda, near the South Sudan border. Established in 2001, ERONet empowers marginalized communities through sustainable development in education, health, and livelihoods. The organization focuses on supporting adolescent girls and women facing marginalization and stigma, promoting resilience through interventions like water and sanitation projects, agricultural education, and disaster risk management. ERONet also addresses key social issues, including property rights, child marriage, girls' education, and food security. Through these initiatives, ERONet has significantly improved rural livelihoods, fostered gender equity, and strengthened community resilience, breaking cycles of poverty and ensuring long-term development.
