10 April 2012 - Now that I am aware of my rights as a citizen, I feel so empowered”, said Aber Evalyn a 51 year-old woman from Uum village in the North of Uganda after participating in trainings held by the Forum for Women in Democracy to increase women’s involvement in the decision-making processes at the community level.
A grantee of UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality, the Forum for Women in Democracy trained women in 16 communities in Uganda to form Village Budget Clubs. These clubs are working to ensure that women are actively involved in budget allocation and decisions regarding gender-sensitive policy measures at the local level. Aber Evalyn is one of the 320 people who benefited from a three-day training session designed to empower communities to demand accountability and the provision of better services from public authorities.
