In this 2016 Annual Report, we recount gains made in addressing gender based violence impacting 51,555 women, youth and girls.
We supported 1,631 women affected by land rights violations. ActionAid Uganda was part of the organization’s that reinforced women efforts to demand for accountability, information and respect of women’s land rights on Mt. Kilimanjaro and the mass assembly in Arusha. We helped 18,716 women and small holder farmers to secure livelihoods, savings and access to credit for better enterprises. Building on work from the previous years, we continued to build citizen’s agency to demand for good governance and accountability through innovative ways like ipaid-a-bribe platform; and successfully supported the development and signing of a global Civic Charter that seeks to promote and protect civic space and advance people’s participation.
As we move into 2017, we would like to appreciate the women, youth, children, small holder farmers and their organizations that we have worked with.
I thank our donors, sponsors and funding affiliates for the financial support that has enabled ActionAid Uganda to achieve a lot in advancing our mission of promoting social justice. I thank management and staff at the frontline for their priceless contribution to humanity and advancing our mission in fighting poverty and injustice, through this great organisation.
