The Uganda Pioneer's Association located in Kampala, Uganda looks like a valuable partner. They link Uganda communities with many international work camp organizations. They can explain what the community must set up for the volunteers such as food, accomodation, work and social activities. They also arrange the listing for the work camp with various international agencies.
NOTE: IDA already have a partnership with UPA

That page is in English, but rest of site is in Dutch.
"1. Sustainable tourism / voluntourism; FGS offers two to three week sustainable holidays and custom made trips for individuals and groups, where people get the chance to discover a country in an interactive way by helping small scale local development projects through volunteer work. The work varies per country and project, but always tries to get people from different worlds to connect and learn from one another."
They have sent volunteers to Nabuur projects including Jinja Central.
Voluntary Projects overseas

gives details of how to apply to become a partner.
NGO Abroad
http://ngoabroad.com/
They are a small agency who tailor trips to the needs of individuals and the organisations they are visiting, so could be a source of volunteers with particular skills. Do not give any details of how to partner, but I know that at least one other Nabuur project has had a volunteer from them.
AVIF
http://justfriends.moonfruit.com/
http://avifvolunteers.blogspot.com/
"AVIF is an innovative online charity, assisting with sustainable development via online & onsite volunteering in rural Kenya, East Africa. Being virtual means negligible administration costs for worldwide impact. We believe in efficiency, honesty and transparency."
They are aware of the existence of Nabuur, working with some Kenyan villages.
Although they only work in Kenya, they may be able to give some good advice about the most effective way to use and attract volunteers, or know similar groups who send volunteers to Uganda.
