Annex 3 Contract 15.08.2022
PROFFESIONAL EDITING OF FINAL E-WIP -1 SURVEY REPORT
| Terms of Reference for hiring of Trainers to Financial Literacy Training | |||
| Background and Context | The Network of Women in Politics (NOWIP) is a formation of authentic women in politics that support each other in engagements that increase their capacities to ascend in the electoral processes at the local, state and national levels. The Network focuses on empowering women politicians to become game changers and change agents by correcting the large-scale gender imbalances in the use of digital spaces for governance in the country. From December 2020 to April 2021, DGF worked with the Uganda Media Women Association – an existing Partner to implement a project with NOWIP to build the capacity of women aspiring and already in politics to use social media as a tool for advancing the women’s agenda and amplifying their voices in the electoral process. This was a pragmatic response by the women politicians to participate in the revised elections roadmap by the Uganda Electoral Commission (EC), which issued new guidelines for the campaigns that were going to be conducted primarily online or what came to be known as ‘scientific elections. This measure was influenced by the COVID 19 lockdown that limited movement, congregating people and generally the mode of campaigning. The project trained more than 600 women aspiring candidates, media practitioners, selected government and non-government actors purposely to improve the Electoral Environment for women contesting in the scientific 2021 Elections. 47 MP’s and 338 women councillors won the election. It would be interesting to learn the contribution of the project to the wider women constituents aspiring to join politics at different levels, why social media presence of women leaders matters, how social media can be used to enhance women’s participation and representation in their positions, how women leaders can prepare best for cyber-harassment etc. The methodology for the evaluation will be an online survey targeting those that went through and those that did not make it plus focus group discussions with women and youth politicians at different levels- local and Parliament.
