Act4Africa measures the impact of everything we do in the field and we thought you would like to see how with your support we are making a measurable difference to the lives of disadvantaged young women in Uganda. This year over a period of just 6 months our field team in Kasese have achieved the following results:
Outcome: Gender Equality – Boys and Girls, Men and women, practice and promote gender equality and sexual rights.
Indicator: 1.0 Percentage increase of women and girls who hold a leadership position in any community group
10-14 years Pre-Training 45%; Post-Training 71%
The results show an increase of 26% for the youth. It would seem that increased confidence resulting from the training is reflected in the youth.
Trainee “In schools, the problem of gender inequality in this institution is the issue of misinformation which puts males at the head of teaching sciences and females teaching simple subjects like English. We realised that this misinformation has no source other than the inferiority complex of women qualifying in simple subjects compared to men.”
Indicator: 2.0 Percentage increase in women and girls who freely express confidence to refuse sexual advances
10-14 years Pre-Training 69%; Post-Training 78%
15-54 years Pre-Training 70%; Post-Training 94%-
A 24% increase was achieved for the older age group and a 9% increase for the younger group.
