Abstract

This scoping paper highlights policies, plans, and initiatives related to women’s economic empowerment in Uganda. It identifies key stakeholders championing women’s economic empowerment—particularly in addressing unpaid care and women’s labour market participation—and opportunities for leveraging relevant policies and initiatives for greater impact. The paper highlights where research can help to advance women’s economic empowerment in Uganda. The authors conducted a rapid assessment of the policy and programming through an extensive desk review and qualitative and quantitative analysis of secondary sources.
