Agroprocessing and value addition have high trickle down effect but require financing to acquire the right equipment, which many local or national actors lack access to.

There is no need to barricade civic space for citizens, particularly youth. We need to let them speak. It is the responsibility of duty bearers to listen keenly, guide them, encourage them, and facilitate them. They will inevitably replace the current leaders.

The vulnerabilities are further entrenched by harmful social norms that keep women out of the public spheres but rather doing care work. To change this, we need policy & practice changes. We need to push new narratives about care work - @CharlesOpiyo82 from Oxfam.

A dissemination workshop of Women Economic Empowerment(WEE) and Care Knowledge products ongoing now.
The meeting is meant to analyse the gender inequalities and the unpaid care work is hardly recognized and yet it keeps women from reaching their full potential.

The population of women is higher than men in🇺🇬. But most women remain trapped by gender & culture. It is very important to break these barriers. We are therefore looking at how we can use available information or data to effect change - Dr Arthur Bainomugisha – ED @ACODE_Uganda

@OxfaminUganda @ACODE_Uganda @IDRC_CRDI @uwonet Things such as Women Economic Empowerment that unite us and not what divide us, are what should matter most.

Proprietors of some hotels in Gulu should learn to be civilised. How can fireworks go for more than 30 mins close to 40mins?

Resilient Livelihood Manager @CharlesOpiyo82 explaining why it was important for farmers to learn from each other & share farming experiences during the 1 weeklong #SeedSystemsCaravan2023, ending today.

@akutui @landnetug @UG_WLRM @WEE_UG Well done. In customary tenure arrangements, land sales shouldn't even be discussed and encouraged as it leads to permanent loss of people's land rights.
