Women Economic Empowerment InitiativesOur core belief is that the advancement of women’s rights is fundamental in addressing drivers of poverty and inequality, therefore, Women Economic Empowerment is a key pillar. In response, Oxfam is implementing programmes and projects aimed at empowering women to influence and participate in the economic decisions that affect their lives.. At all levels of interventions, Oxfam works with partners to support women to curb violence against them and control of critical production resources, equal access to over productive resources and opportunities, and participate across labour markets.
Within Oxfam, a global knowledge hub has been established to enhance learning about Women Economic Empowerment (WEE).The knowledge hub provides an online platform and a community of practice to enable Oxfam staff working on smallholder agriculture and WEE initiatives to easily network and provide peer-to-peer support.
about the WEE directoryIn 2015, Oxfam in Uganda convened women economic empowerment actors including Ministry of Gender, School of Women and Gender studies, the private sector, international NGOs, regional NGOs and national NGOs. The meeting agreed to collectively map all WEE actors in Uganda to enhance information sharing and learning.
The mapping exercise was conducted in all the 112 districts of Uganda through face-to-face interviews and visits to WEE actor organizations. Interviews generated data on the name and type of organization, contact details, and the nature of WEE interventions. In addition, data were collected on understanding of women economic empowerment, best practices, tools, approaches used, success stories, lessons learnt, and suggestions to improve WEE interventions. These are summarized in the community of practice guide.
Disclaimer
This publication is a comprehensive compilation of the WEE actors across the country but is not necessarily exhaustive.
All information is accurate as per the publication date.
ABOUT OXFAMOxfam envisions a Uganda free of extreme inequality and injustices, a society where citizens –particularly women, across all age groups,access and exercise their rights and responsibilities, and are able to influence decisions that affect their lives. Through thought leadership, research, knowledge and evidence we propose alternative policies and practices
that enhance our vision.
The Oxfam country strategy 2015-2019, focuses on deepening governance and accountability processes, fostering resilient livelihoods, and building capacity to respond to humanitarian crises with a deliberate focus on women and youth. Together, with partners and civil society organizations, we campaign and lobby national and local governments on a wide range of policies including tax justice, climate change,conflict
resolution and gender equality.
