FOWODE-UGANDA

We have organized dialogues and promoted community activism on pressing local issues, empowering citizens to voice their concerns and advocate for change. These efforts have fostered a sense of responsibility, motivating community members to hold their leaders accountable and seek better service delivery.

We have continued to strengthen the capacities of women leaders across various spheres, empowering them in roles ranging from parliament to local government councils. This has been achieved through targeted training aimed at equipping them with the skills and confidence necessary to lead effectively and advocate for their communities.

We have continuously raised civic awareness, particularly among women, who are increasingly harnessing the power of collective action and becoming more aware of their rights. This has empowered them to engage more effectively in influencing governance processes and shaping public policies.

As a result of our leadership trainings and mentorship, we have continued to witness an increased articulation of gender issues at both council and parliament levels, significantly contributing to gender-sensitive policymaking and implementation processes.

Through community sensitization and awareness programs, we actively engage men in promoting the rights of women and girls, highlighting the importance of women's participation in all areas of society and emphasizing their role in leadership.

FOWODE encourages the development of leadership that is inclusive and responsive to the needs of women and men, as well as girls and boys. We work closely with men to support the advancement of women in leadership and governance by advocating for policies and practices that promote equal opportunities.

We hold a special place for young and aspiring women leaders. We believe in nurturing them to transform their generation and prepare them to take the lead in the future. We support them in critically interrogating local and global issues and working independently to find solutions to problems.

We remain committed to ensure that women have a strong voice in shaping policies and driving meaningful change in their communities and beyond.

FOWODE continues to empower women leaders to challenge the status quo at every level of society. Through our training programs, we equip women with the skills to effectively advocate for women's specific issues in councils, decision-making bodies, and leadership roles, both at the local and national levels.

At FOWODE, we believe economic empowerment is key to women’s involvement and participation in leadership. Equipping women with entrepreneurship skills fosters financial independence and builds the confidence needed to step into leadership and governance roles.
