    PROJECT TITLE: Humanitarian, Development and Peace Initiative for Crisis affected Population in Uganda

    OBJECTIVES 

    • JUST SOCIETY: People live in more equal, peaceful and gender just societies based on inclusive democracies, human rights and accountable institutions
    • LEAVING NO.ONE BEHIND: Crisis affected population in particular women and youth are increasingly safe, resilient and empowered
    • Climate Justice: Increased capacity of refugee and host communities to mitigate conflicts associated to shared eco-systems

    KEY ACTIVITIES 

    • Three community structures have been formed to create awareness on gender-based violence (GBV), promote gender-transformative leadership, and foster peaceful coexistence between refugees and host communities.
    • One such structure is the Women's Forum, consisting of 80 women. The forum aims to empower women through leadership training and advocacy. The women in the forum have been trained three times on gender-transformative leadership, enabling them to take on leadership roles within the settlement and act as a voice for the voiceless. Their efforts have also empowered other women and girls to fight for their rights and strive for a better future.
    • A group of 20 Male Champions has been established to support the women’s participation agenda. Their role is to advocate for gender equality and actively promote the inclusion of women in community affairs.
    • The Cultural Alliance, composed of 20 members (16 men and 4 women), including cultural leaders, landlords, and religious leaders. This alliance works to raise awareness about peace and helps resolve conflicts within the community.
