Gender & equality are focus areas for Norwegian Development Policy & should therefore be integrated in all progs at Norwegian supported institutions. There should be gender considerations in research, curriculum, & governance - Mary Mabweijano @MakerereNews@fmugagga@RSemyalo
Increased participation of female students at post graduate level is key consideration in the Norwegian Development policy. Institutions should have mentorship programmes to advance gender equality - M. Mabweijano. @MakerereNews@Makerere @Mak_SWGS @RSemyalo@fmugagga
While the NORHED Programme aims to contribute to the 2030 Agenda as a whole, it has a particular focus on SDG 4, 5 & 17 - emphasizing inclusivity, gender equality and women empowerment & revitalizing global partnerships. @MakerereNews@fmugagga @Mak_SWGS @RSemyalo@Makerere
Workshop on Mainstreaming gender in NORHED II Project activities: Dr Baine presents policy framework for mainstreaming gender @Makerere. Acknowledges support of Norwegian govt in setting up the Dept of Women & Gender Studies & the Gender Mainstreaming Directorate. @MakerereNews
As a University, we must be intentional about improving staff & students' welfare & incorporating gender in all activities. Placing gender officers at each of the Colleges would enhance processes of mainstreaming gender in university progs. @MakerereNews@Makerere@fmugagga
Although a lot of progress has been made @Makerere, research is still gender blind & women's participation in leadership roles is still low. There is lack of a harmonized legal &:policy framework to support gender mainstreaming - Dr E. Baine. @MakerereNews@fmugagga@RSemyalo
International Workshop on Mainstreaming Gender in NORHED II Project activities: We must focus on research that spurs development. Our research should be focused to contribute to policy formulation - Mary Mabweijano. @MakerereNews@Makerere@fmugagga@RSemyalo @MakDRGT
Gender considerations crucial as we celebrate 100 years of excellent service & move towards becoming a research-led university. We should dig deep into issues of gender in our pursuit to tranform our countries - Dr Robert Wamala, Deputy Director DRGT. @MakerereNews@fmugagga
