forum for women in democracy

Organization providing information for Ugandan women parliamentarians

Forum for Women in Democracy (FOWODE) is a national women’s rights organisation that grew out of the women’s caucus of the 1994-1995 Constituent Assembly that passed the 1995 Constitution, acclaimed to be one of the most gender responsive in Africa. FOWODE was established, to pursue the vision of a Ugandan society where women and men equally participate in and benefit from decision making processes in public and private spaces. Whereas FOWODE primarily focuses on women’s issues, she also seeks gender equality and thus involves men in all aspects of her work. With operations at the community, local government and national levels, FOWODE champions women’s rights through capacity development, community empowerment, policy engagement and strategic partnerships.

Accounts

No accounts available from the sources we use.

European Union funding

Amounts committed each year by the European Commission to the organisation (contracts and grants), from the EU Financial Transparency System. A commitment often covers several project years and, in consortia, may include shares of other partners. They are not income for the year and should not be compared directly with the accounts.

Public funds from donor governments

Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.

Spending on declared projects (IATI)

Only the projects the organisation publishes on IATI: usually a fraction of its total spending (median 14% in our checks).
