Day 3 of the Defend Defenders Women Human Rights Defenders And Their Protection Seminar held at Garuga Country Lake Resort.

The seminar objective is to equip the ToTs in Human Rights Monitoring, Documenting and Reporting (MDR)

Defend Defenders seeks to strengthen the work of human rights defenders through the sub region by reducing their vulnerability to risks of persecution and by enhancing their capacity to effectively defend human rights.

Glad to have been chosen to take part of this one week workshop.

Digital Woman Uganda (DWU) has received funding from the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) to implement a project titled “Leveraging mobile technology to enhance knowledge and skills of post-harvest management practices among smallholder farmers in Eastern Uganda”.

The project’s overall objective is to leverage mobile technology to improve access to knowledge, information, and use of improved post-harvest management technologies and markets for smallholder farmers in Eastern Uganda. Providing knowledge, skills, and information on improved postharvest handling and storage will lead to a reduction in post-harvest losses and thus improve farmer income, and improve food safety and security. Additionally, an improvement in post-harvest handling practices by farmers will increase the availability of quality grain for export.

For the general onboarding meeting ahead of the Digital Ambassador Program. Looking forward to this meaningful partnership project with Pollicy
