Organization of CHOGM Uganda

The Roles of the Commonwealth Secretariat and the host Government
To ensure a smooth and successful CHOGM meeting cooperates closely with the Commonwealth Secretariat in London.

The host government is largely responsible for the logistical arrangements which support CHOGM partnership.

The Commonwealth Secretariat has responsibility for the CHOGM itself, and provides its Secretariat and Media (the official Spokesperson of the CHOGM is a Senior Secretariat official).

CHOGM meetings require elaborate preparation and meticulous attention to detail. This, therefore, necessitates the closest possible understanding and co-operation between the host government and the commonwealth Secretariat.

The National Organizational Structure for CHOGM 2007
The Uganda CHOGM 2007 National Organization Structure is composed of the Following:
Cabinet
His Excellency the President chairs Cabinet which is the highest policy organ of Government. Cabinet formulates, determines, and implements policy of Government including all aspects related to CHOGM 2007.

The president, as the Head of Government in Uganda, will host other Commonwealth of Government who will be coming for the November 2007 CHOGM IN Kampala.
