Professional Experience: |
I have served in different NGOs and bodies before joining Uganda Women`s Network (UWONET) my current employer such as Arbeiter Samaritan Bund (ASB) in IDP camps in war-torn Northern Uganda and Intergovernmental Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) on conflict early warning and other internship related experiences. I have a great passion for women’s empowerment and I believe that women are capable of changing their status themselves.
I have coordinated different programmes and projects in the areas of governance, conflict, peace and post conflict recovery, access to justice for women, women's leadership and decision making, women’s economic justice and empowerment, developing economic empowerment hybrid models piloted in our districts of operation, natural resource governance and climate change. I have also done humanitarian and crisis response and early warning and early response projects. I have directly managed cross cultural teams and provided leadership, and support through mentorship and coaching. I have experience in championing and advancing women’s rights.
During my work at UWONET, I have also facilitated formation of 10 district women’s networks in Uganda, promoted shared learning initiatives among and between partners/communities locally and across borders, documented a number of best/promising practices. I have ably managed grants and coordinated activities of partners in over 25 districts. I have good communication and facilitation skills, weaved in with critical thinking and good analytical and writing skills. I have participated in various forums at international, regional and local levels. I’m a self-starter with ability to think strategically and translate work into effective actions.
This experience has anchored me in women’s rights and gender equality programming with longstanding interests in promoting fairness, equality and sustainable social change especially for the vulnerable and marginalized persons in our communities. I have gained as well wide experience in humanitarian and development work in both stable and insecure environments. In programming particularly, my experience include; grants management and coordination, design, development of strategies for implementation, project/ programme implementation, participatory monitoring and evaluation and learning, organizational/ institutional capacity assessment and development, advocacy, fund raising/resource mobilization, financial management and reporting to different donor agencies.
