@rggoobi Lets hope that the shillings will remain stable for a while

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@uwonet @Mglsd_UG @mofpedU @RitaAciro @OxfaminUganda @actionaiduganda @SNampewo Yes it may address some of these issues but serious follow ups or monitoring is key in ensuring the Model integrates all these concerns. The initial conception is key in making it work.

@uwonet @SNampewo @RitaAciro @Mak_SWGS @Mglsd_UG @mofpedU @npereth123 @FOWODE_UGANDA @UgWils We are yet to receive the Annual Budget Estimates for FY2022/23 which according to the PFMA, are submitted by 1st April. We already have MPS but not internalized them to appreciate if there are gaps. In any case Parliament has up to 31st May to approve the Budget and address them

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@uwonet @SNampewo @RitaAciro @Mglsd_UG @OxfaminUganda @actionaiduganda Address your proposals to the right committees of parliament at the right time. Make very short but concise proposals that are affordable. Use a soft language not emotions. Request for face to face dialogue bze its acceptable in Parliament. Use the media and publish your views.

@uwonet @SNampewo @mofpedU @Mglsd_UG @RitaAciro Government is set to implement the Parish Development Model. This will address access to among others basic services at the lowest unit and also providing funds to household for economic empowerment and the guidelines are categorical on the proportions for women

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@uwonet @SNampewo Yes, they should be there. The challenge is that you may not see the explicit budget line but if you look at the activities and work plans generally some of these issues are addressed

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@jshmugisha @uwonet @CSBAGUGANDA @mofpedU @OxfaminUganda @Mglsd_UG 3) redistribute the responsibility, costs and work of care provision from women to men, and from poor households to employers

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@jshmugisha @uwonet @CSBAGUGANDA @mofpedU @OxfaminUganda @Mglsd_UG Policy makers may need to adapt the Triple R’* approach to addressing the unpaid care and domestic workload 1) recognize care at policy, community and household levels; 2) reduce difficult care work, for example through time- and labour-saving technology and services; and

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@jshmugisha @uwonet @CSBAGUGANDA @mofpedU @OxfaminUganda @Mglsd_UG Policy makers should engage the public to establish the impact of budgets and policies on this category and then propose workable actions based on evidence. In this case research and data are key to inform the budget process.

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@UgWils @uwonet @OxfaminUganda I don't think it impedes development, on the contrally my view is that it facilitates development. What needs to be done is to ensure that special attention is given to unpaid work and monetized

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@UgWils @uwonet @OxfaminUganda Yes, its important because of the numbers involved. If quantified then it may require substantial policy dialogue to ensure that it forms part of the gender and equity financing by earmarking specific funds to target activities related to unpaid and domestic work.

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@UgWils @uwonet @OxfaminUganda @CSBAGUGANDA This may true even in Uganda taking into account the time lost in fetching water and collecting firewood, distances walked to get some services like health and education among others. All this time is lost and hence productivity in both labour and capital

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@UgWils @uwonet Depending on each country dynamics, if we aggregate it at global level perhaps it may follow within those limits. what is needed is getting facts and figures and then assign them monetary values

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@jshmugisha @uwonet @CSBAGUGANDA @mofpedU @OxfaminUganda @Mglsd_UG Policy makers need to get facts and figures and quantify the unpaid work before addressing matter. They should be provided with hard evidence so that they can engage budget for unpaid care. This can be done using the gender and equity consideration entrenched in the PFMA Act

[Kiggundu Sulaiman @skiggundu72]

@npereth123 @uwonet @UgWils @jshmugisha @CSBAGUGANDA According to the the 2nd Budget call Circular the proposed Budget for FY2022/23 is Ushs. 45,325.7 bn not 43,008. The 43.08 was the Projection at the time of presentation of the National Budget Framework paper. I Am certain that even the 45 trillion figure may change

@uwonet @mofpedU @rggoobi @SNampewo @SulaimanKigundu @Mglsd_UG @RitaAciro @UgWils @OxfaminUganda It refers to services offered and provided with in a household but not paid for like collecting firewood, cooking,looking after the elderly and so on
