📢Uganda, let’s tune in!

As we conclude the 16 Days of Activism, we’re wrapping up with a powerful conversation you won’t want to miss.

Join the X Space hosted by @MableTwegumye as we dive into this year’s theme: Unite to end digital violence against all women and girls.

Great energy at our #LEADUganda storytelling training!

All our 12 partners learned how to communicate impact better, but the key takeaway: know your audience.

Thanks to @WoordenDaad for the insightful session.

Gloria Anana of COW Foundation says the #LEADProject transformed their systems—from Excel to QuickBooks, improved M&E through Solstice, and built staff capacity in communication & GALS.

On this #IWD26, we are reminded that investing in women and girls benefits entire societies. The theme “Give to Gain” calls for moving beyond commitments to real action-creating opportunities, and ensuring women voices shape policies and decisions.

emphasizing that achieving beyond the threshold is a sign of commitment to localization. He's inviting non-signatories, like Maltisa International, to join the movement, and handing over to consultant Ronald Matanda to share more details. #C4CUganda #C4CAnnualDialogueUg

Localization is not only about efficiency it is about justice. It is about ensuring that communities most affected by crises are empowered to lead their own solutions. It is about building a humanitarian and development system that is inclusive, resilient, and sustainable” ~Dr. Stephen Okello- Uganda National NGO bureau

It is important to acknowledge the government’s role in ensuring that the necessary structures and coordination mechanisms are in place to support an effective humanitarian response.

"Localization is about justice, empowering communities to lead their own solutions & building an inclusive, resilient & sustainable system. it's about justice, empowering crisis-affected communities to drive their own solutions & build a better future" ~Dr. Stephen Okello, Uganda National NGO Bureau #C4CUganda #C4CAnnualDialogueUg .

A common oversight is that the greatest obstacle to localization comes not from outside forces, but from within. It resides inside our own organizations.

[GAD ROGERS 🇺🇬🌍 @gad_rogers]

As a leader of @C4C_Uganda, I advocate for inclusion and ask: do we truly understand what inclusion means? When we grasp this concept, we can work together more effectively, include diverse voices in programming and activities, and achieve unity in our efforts.

I attended the Annual High-Level Dialogue on Localization in Uganda, organized by C4C, where HDF, as a signatory, actively participated in discussions on increasing direct, flexible funding for local actors. The event brought together powerful representations from several actors.
