As a long-standing member of Africa’s women’s rights movement, Forum for Women in Democracy (FOWODE) fosters inclusive governance in Uganda that is women-centered, transformative, and accountable. Through a multi-pronged approach, FOWODE enhances the political leadership capacity of women legislators, bolsters women’s economic empowerment through gender-responsive budgeting processes, and advocates for increased access to contraception. FOWODE works to maintain its community-level social accountability work, sustain engagement with policymakers, and promote gender-equitable norms that support women’s reproductive, economic, and political rights in Uganda.

for general operating support  
The Forum for Women in Democracy (FOWODE) advocates for inclusive governance and budgeting that gives women voice, choice, and power in influencing decision-making and priority-setting processes in Uganda. FOWODE advances gender transformative approaches in civic engagement and challenges inequitable power structures that limit women’s rights and gender equity. Among its priorities is a plan for FOWODE to prioritize young women’s leadership development and women’s rights in local government planning and service delivery to strengthen accountability among duty bearers.
