Improving women’s equitable influence over household financial decisions increases their capacity and likelihood to save, reduces their risk of loss of income, and improves their financial stability and resilience to shocks.

Social norms—the often unspoken rules that govern behaviour—shape almost every aspect of human life. In the Eastern African Region, social and gender norms are pivotal in positioning and determining peoples’ ways of life, shaping opportunities and outcomes.

CARE’s analysis points at three main issues that keep on driving poverty and social injustice in Uganda as described above. Therefore, all our programs are designed to address these root causes.

Sometimes, emergencies are even creating opportunities that would otherwise not exist.

This rapid gender analysis (RGA) seeks to explore the implications of COVID 19 in specific areas in northern Uganda to inform current CARE Uganda programming in the region, as well as to serve as reference to any other. stakeholders working in the area and with similar target groups. The specific locations this RGA covers are: Omugo settlement, Palabek settlement, Gulu municipality, Arua municipality, Moyo district and Lamwo district.. This study looks at how COVID 19 is affecting men, women, boys and girls, from refugee and non-refugee backgrounds, in the urban, rural and settlement contexts. It follows earlier RGAs2 conducted prior to the outbreak of the pandemic and seeks to identify where there have been changes of note as a result of the pandemic. On this basis, it provides a number of recommendations to donors and for implementing organisations.
