📌The Austrian Government, @UNFPAUganda and @GovUganda Launch €3.4M SAFER Phase III to Advance Justice, SRHR and GBV Services in Northern Uganda

Today, Mr. Robert Kasande, the Permanent Secretary @MoJCAUG together with Ms. @rachel_odoi, the Senior Technical Advisor-JLOS Secretariat hosted the official signing of a €3.42 Million Tripartite Agreement between the Austrian Government, @UNFPAUganda and @GovUganda at JLOS Towers, Kampala.

The agreement launches Phase III of the SAFER Project (2026–2029) – Sexual and Reproductive Health, Access to Justice, Freedom, Equality and Rights – under the leadership of the @MOJCA and the @Mglsd_UG.

What SAFER III will deliver:
Building on Phases I & II, the project will expand survivor-centred access to justice, uphold SRHR, and address GBV across Karamoja, Acholi and Lango sub-regions, targeting 830,872 direct beneficiaries – primarily women, adolescent girls, persons with disabilities and underserved communities.

Key interventions include:
▶️Scaling up integrated SRHR, GBV prevention & response, and legal services
▶️Strengthening institutional capacity – ODPP, Uganda Police Force, Uganda Prison Service, UHRC, Local Council Courts – to reduce case backlogs through special court sessions and ADR
▶️Advancing social transformation by tackling harmful practices including FGM, child marriage, and emerging forms of violence such as technology-facilitated GBV

“This support reflects Austria’s continued commitment to strengthening the rule of law and protecting the rights of vulnerable populations,” said @Dr_KatjaK, Head of Austrian Embassy in Uganda

“By streamlining integrated health, justice, and protection services, UNFPA is committed to ensuring that every survivor of GBV receives rapid, dignified, and survivor-centered support,” said Ms. Kristine Blokhus, @UNFPAUganda Country Representative.

The programme uses a systems-strengthening approach, embedding into national structures for sustainability, with CSOs such as @uwonet.

This is fully aligned with Uganda’s Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV).

We thank the Government of Austria and UNFPA for this continued partnership.

“I have told the CDF, @mkainerugaba and his commanders that we need to prioritise these training infrastructures. They can be made state-of-the-art. It is good to have the best in the world when you are training from here," President Kaguta Museveni said

“Recently, I was talking to the CDFs from many countries, and I told them that to have a strong and effective defence of the country, you need several factors. One of them is a strong economy, which will be able to support a strong army,” President Museveni said.
