“As an aspiring politician, I have gained confidence through workshops organized by the station and I thank Mama FM for the capacity building and skills training they organize for the community.” Says Christine.
Uganda Media Women’s Association (UMWA) with support from Urgent Action Fund conducted a series of trainings of grassroot women entrepreneurs. This was on communication skills and media use.
With support from the Royal Danish Embassy of Uganda, UMWA is yet again advancing the “Media for Gender Equality and Social Justice-leaving No One Behind” project. This is to address the poor portrayal of women in politics and women at large by the media. This challenge continues to undermine efforts towards growing and sustaining a people centred and inclusive democracy in Uganda.
