Akina Mama wa Afrika

Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is a feminist Pan-African development organization founded in 1985. AMwA’s interventions target global, regional, and national development processes with focalized programmes in Africa currently being implemented in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, Tunisia, Ethiopia, and Sudan. AMwA’s work is rooted in feminist principles and beliefs guided by the Charter of Feminist Principles for African Feminists which defines our leadership development program and movement-building work. We are proud members of the Solidarity for African Women’s Rights (SoAWR), NGO CSW Africa, the Gender Is My Agenda Campaign, and more recently Tax Justice Network Africa.

FEMNET

The African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) is a pan- African, feminist and membership-based network based in Nairobi with over 800 members across 49 African countries. FEMNET exists to facilitate and coordinate the sharing of experiences, ideas, information, and strategies for human rights promotion among African women’s organizations through networking, communication, capacity-building and advocacy at the regional and international levels.

OXFAM

Oxfam is a global movement for change that empowers people to create a secure future, just and free from poverty and injustice. We want a world in which everyone can safely speak truth to power, claim their human rights, and build a better future for themselves. We recognize that we cannot achieve this on our own but as a collective power. We, therefore, work in partnership with local and grass-root organisations, civil society, individuals, volunteers, the private sector, and the Government.

In Uganda, Oxfam started in the 1960’s and continues with a Vision of a Uganda free of inequality and Injustice: A society where people, particularly women and young people, claim and exercise their rights and responsibilities and influence decisions that affect their lives. Our work is guided by the Country Strategic Framework (CSF) (2021-2030), organised around four themes: Governance and Accountability, Resilient Livelihoods, Humanitarian preparedness and response and Gender Justice and Women's Rights. To contribute to change that lasts, we mobilize to transform the systems, policies and practices that significantly impact people’s lives.
