About us

While the Ugandan-German Cooperation began in the early 1960s and over 1,500 Ugandans have since benefited from German scholarships. To bring together all Ugandan German alumni and beneficiaries of German scholarships, the Association of Ugandan German Alumni (AUGA) was formally incorporated in 2013.

AUGA currently has over 150 active members and continues to grow stronger. AUGA has established three constituent chapters :

• Mbarara University of Science and Technology for the Western Chapter,
• Muni University for the Northern Chapter, and
• Busitema University for the Eastern Chapter.
