Implementation of the projects started in July 2020. During this period under review the organisations successfully implemented the project inception activities that included securing commitment and support from the district local governments where they operate, conducting baseline surveys, holding inception meetings with various project stakeholders and building capacity of project staff to ensure effective program delivery. Overall, the partners have reached 4,4582 direct beneficiaries (46.1% women (2113), 22.8% girls (1043), 19.8% men (905) and 11.4% boys (521)) and 20,480 indirect beneficiaries. Overall, 68.9% of the direct beneficiaries are women and girls. The following achievements have been noted during this period based on which change and results will be reported in the 2021 report: • A GBV handbook targeting Community Based Organisations (CBO) engaged in GEWE and EVAWG has been produced by CoACT. The handbook will be used by the CBOs and women’s groups in promotion and advocacy of GEWE and EVAW. • 20 Child mothers ages 16 – 23 years in Namayumba Subcounty, Wakiso district are engaging other child mothers in their community on SRHR and SGBV. The 20 child mothers have volunteered as peer educators to reach out to child mothers in their community to share the knowledge and skills they gained after participating in a SRHR training organized by Extend A Life Initiative (ELI). • 80 adolescent girls and young women from Serere and Katakwi districts have successfully saved a total of UGX 661,500. This was made possible after gaining skills in livelihood and entrepreneurship delivered by Teso Women Peace Activitists (TEWPA) with support from the fund. • A song that promotes positive masculinity has been produced by 3 Ugandan artists (two male one female) in conjunction with a South African based artist, Mthetho Tshemese from iNDLOBONGELA. The song ‘Wise up’ challenges men to participate in domestic responsibilities, stop being violent to their wives and participate in community welfare activities (SAP). The song will be used as a social mobilisation tool in the coming period to raise awareness on VAW. • 2 local women’s Overcomers Women Group in Adjumani and Yumbe Gender Network in Yumbe district have better organisational policies after being supported by UWONET to review policy documents and board operations. The 2 organisations have begun using these policies to lobby for resources. • Women's Organisation Network for Human Rights Advocacy (WONETHA) has established 20 psychosocial groups for female sex workers as a support group but also to ensure their coordination and enhanced agency to lobby for ending gender-based violence they face. • UHOPI have successfully trained 3 women’s group in specific skills to increase income generation of these groups to enhance their capacity to support their members; one of them a local group of women with disabilities. Out of the 136 group members trained 22 women and three men have started their own business and have increased individual incomes. • UCAA has trained 4 local women’s movements and established GBV structures composed of 40 trustworthy, trained and equipped volunteers (10 male and 30 female) who are now delivering GBV services in four parishes (Katutwo, Lulia, Kangole and Karenga Parishes). Their existence has increased advocacy and lobbying action in their respective districts to end VAG. The 16 days of activism was used to raise awareness on SGBV and VAW in 4 districts of Adjumani, Kyegegwa, Kamwenge and Kumi. This was achieved through the use of radio talk shows and holding ccommunity barazas (i.e. community dialogue meetings) as organized by CoACT and WIPC, which were used as an opportunity for the trained women activists from refugee and host communities, women’s groups and partner organisations to jointly raise awareness resulting in commitments from local leadership to reinforce work to end violence against women and girls. The country office has also been engaged in ensuring that the partners are able to speak at WPHF and Spotlight events, such as the executive director from Slum Aid Project presented issues and recommendations around flexible funding for local women’s organisations on the 17 November 2020 in a Spotlight Virtual Learning Session. The executive director of CoACT presented the situation of women’s organisation during a luncheon on women movement in Uganda with the Assistant Secretary General for Africa, Ms Ms. Bintou Keita, on 30 October 2020. The Country Office has trained the partners on reporting and finance requirements enabling the partners to align reports with the corporate guidelines. 1 Non-UN Organization.

  • Reflections on Resilience in the Karamoja Cluster Over 40 Years Dr
    Pathways to Resilience in the Karamoja Cluster A regional conference on recent research and policy options 21-23 May 2019, Moroto, Karamoja, Uganda Opening Keynote Presentation Reflections on Resilience in the Karamoja Cluster over 40 Years Dr. Darlington Akabwai Definition of the Karamoja Cluster In 1952, Gulliver described the Karamoja Cluster as comprising the Karimojong, Jie, and Dodoth in Uganda, Toposa and Dongiro or Nyangatom, Jiye in Sudan, Dassanech in Ethiopia and Turkana in Kenya. He derives its name from the fact that Karamojong are just a cluster of ethnic groups. He describes these communities as sharing very similar languages and cultures, and who pursued a similar livelihood, that he identified as pastoralism.i,ii But later, the Karamoja Cluster was expanded to include those communities who were not Karamojong but who had adopted their language and culture because of living with them in a similar arid and semi-arid ecosystem. Such communities included the Pokot of Uganda and Kenya, Teuso(Iik) of Kaabong district, Mening, Nyangia and Napore living in what is now Karenga district, the Tepeth of Moroto, Napak and Kadam Mountains, the Labwor/Nyakwai of Abim district in Uganda, and finally, the Merille (Dassanech) of Ethiopia. The Iteso share a lot in common with the members of the Karamoja Cluster, except that they moved to live in a more fertile and rainy ecosystem, which made them adapt to a more sedentary life style where crop agriculture dominates livestock keeping.iii Therefore, it is important to note here that in spite of the wide difference in economy and consequent development between the Iteso and other members of the cluster, there is similar unity in history, language, custom, and members of social organizations which warrants inclusion of the Iteso with the other tribes listed by Gulliver as members of the Karamojong cluster.
