ECCA implements its activities under four main programme areas:

• psychosocial support and counselling
• social follow-up and referral
• organisational capacity building/training
• research and advocacy

ECCA's objective is to build and strengthen the capacity of individuals, communities, and children to address the problem of abuse in Uganda by:

• initiating the establishment and foundation of modular community, child and women focused institutional governance and capacity building curriculum.
• organising short training and advocacy workshops, meetings, symposia, seminars where members and others can interact.
• carrying out research and influencing policy directions regarding the welfare of men, women, children and communities as a whole.
• advancing the profession of counselling as an essential element of psychosocial intervention in confronting abuse.
