The programming supports Uganda to strengthen its efforts to advance the WPS and DRR agendas through improved implementation, monitoring and reporting capacities and investments in expanding leadership and decision-making opportunities for women and youth. Conflicts in Uganda have left negative effects that continue to define and shape the country’s development potential; characterized by violent conflict over scarce natural resources, land conflict, interethnic and religious based conflicts, crime, election related violence, large refugee influxes, targeted murder of women, police brutality, etc. Women are the most affected by these peace and security issues and the effects have devastating impact on women and girls. // Contribute technically to development of Programme strategies in Women, Peace, and Security and DRR.
