Research Phase
Understand the Problem
Our first step was to gain a better understanding of the problem, as well as the needs and challenges facing the Women and Youth Survivors (WAYS) in post-conflict, war-torn, Northern Uganda. This required conducting a comprehensive survey engaging thousands of WAYS across Acoliland, especially those who are leaders of grassroots community-based NPO’s and CBO’s.
Out of the Shadows
Women Leaders Arise
Our research highlighted the urgent need to work together, to amplify their voices, and to build their capacity. And so we decided to start by gathering them all together for the landmark conference: ‘Out of the Shadows – Women Leaders Arise.’
During the conference, Training & Mentorship, and organizational capacity building was emphasized, as well as Women and Youth Survivor Leaders inclusion in policy-making processes. This led to the next phase and our latest projects:
Leave No Child Behind
Born to Shine
Our next step was a two-pronged one: ‘Born to Shine’ provided Training & Mentorship for Women and Youth Survivor Leaders in Northern Uganda, while ‘Leave No Child Behind’ created platforms and opportunities for enhanced visibility and influence of the Children Born of War (CBoW).
