This project aims at enhancing women\u2019s organizational and technical capacities to accelerate their contribution towards the pre-2025\/2026 electoral conflict prevention in the Rwenzori region, by strengthening women\u2019s capacity in pre-2025\/2026 electoral conflict mapping, analysis, and prevention. The project is targeting 2098 women and 672 men as direct beneficiaries from the following structures: District and Sub-County women councils, District and Sub-County female councilors, Women leagues and leadership of political parties with structures in the Rwenzori region, Women wings under cultural institutions of Tooro, Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu (OBR) and Obudhingiya Bwa Bwamba (OBB), the Independent Electoral Commission, Security agencies, and Grassroots women-led organizations.<\/span><hr \/><\/div>\n<p><strong> Fostering Victim-Responsive Transitional Justice (TJ) In Uganda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph {\"textColor\":\"black\"} --><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since 2020, RFPJ has been implementing the \u201cFostering victim-centred Transitional Justice (TJ) in Uganda\u201d project. Currently, in its third phase (2023-2025), the project aims at incrementally furthering victims\u2019 realization of Transitional Justice in Uganda through; 1) Strengthening the organizational and technical capacities of at least 2,000 victims of past conflicts in the Rwenzori and Northern regions of Uganda in furthering victim-centered and responsive TJ and; 2) Progressively influencing at least 200 policy makers, leaders, and other actors towards the implementation of the 2019 National TJ policy and enactment of the National TJ Act in a victim-centered and responsive manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The project deliberately targets and engages with victims of different conflicts in the two regions, the Parliament of the Republic of Uganda, relevant Ministries, and other state and non-state actors involved in the furtherance of TJ at local, regional, and national levels. In these engagements, RFPJ strives to amplify the voices of victims as first-hand advocates for their own rights, needs, and interests and creates platforms for them to dialogue with duty-bearers in shaping the direction of the responses to their peculiar needs and interests.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph {\"textColor\":\"black\"} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph {\"textColor\":\"black\"} --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Closing the Gap: Secondary Education for all Girls in Ntoroko and Bundibugyo Districts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph {\"textColor\":\"black\"} --><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This action targets two districts of Bundibugyo and Ntoroko neighboring the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This project, supported by Seleve Foundation, seeks to rally girls in secondary schools and different stakeholders within the district and at the national level to further the implementation of the USE program and also, further girls\u2019 right to education as per Article 30 of the 1995 Uganda Constitution and Sustainable Development Goal Number 4. In this rallying call, this action has two orientations. In the first orientation, the action mobilizes girls in selected secondary schools to write their district-specific education manifestos, detailing their plight and what they think needs to be done to enhance their access to and retention in secondary schools.\u00a0 In the second orientation, the project seeks to disseminate girls\u2019 district-specific education manifestos on local radio stations and also, at district and national levels for purposes of enhancing an evidence-based advocacy for girls\u2019 education. The dissemination of girls\u2019 education manifestos is also intended to influence public attitudes toward girls\u2019 education and also, bring girls\u2019 plight and interests to the attention of district and national-level policy makers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accelerating Women&#8217;s Contribution to Pre-2025\/2026 Electoral Conflict Prevention in the Rwenzori Region RFPJ with support from the UN Women under the auspices of the Women\u2019s Peace and Humanitarian Fund is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9869","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"wpcf_dashboard":"<div class=\"woocommerce\"><div class=\"woocommerce-info\">Please log in first? <a class=\"wpneoShowLogin\" href=\"#\">Click here to login<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wpneo_login_form_div\" style=\"display: none;\"><form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\"><p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" autocomplete=\"username\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" autocomplete=\"current-password\" spellcheck=\"false\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p><p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F9869\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p><\/form><\/div><\/div>","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":9868,"url":"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/?page_id=9868","url_meta":{"origin":9869,"position":0},"title":"Past Projects","author":"admin","date":"September 14, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Capacity Building for Youth-led Groups and Associations Since 2018, RFPJ had been investing in skills development for vulnerable youths and women to enhance their capacities in business entrepreneurship, and market-oriented skills through offering work-based learning and enhancing their employability and graduation from vulnerability to social and economic resilience.
