Our Namayingo Field Office, with support from the @IcelandinUganda, participated in the inception meeting of the SAY Plus Project, a @UNFPAUganda-supported initiative implemented in collaboration with the @GovUganda and other partners. The project seeks to strengthen teenage pregnancy surveillance, response and accountability. ⚖️

Drawing on the community engagements since February 2026, our Legal Officers shared insights on the challenges adolescents face in accessing protection and support. Stakeholders committed to bi-weekly coordination meetings and validation of district work plans to strengthen implementation and follow-through.

Stronger coordination is critical to ensuring that efforts to prevent teenage pregnancy translate into timely interventions, better protection and improved outcomes for adolescents.💡

FIDA-Uganda’s Moroto Office, with support from 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇱🇮🇪, participated in the Moroto High Court Open Day held under the theme “𝑫𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝑬𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆.”

The engagement brought together the Judiciary, district leaders, justice sector institutions, civil society and community members to examine barriers to justice and identify opportunities for a more accessible and responsive justice system in Karamoja.

Discussions highlighted persistent gaps in court infrastructure and the availability of resident magistrates, leaving communities in some districts facing long distances and additional costs to access judicial services. The importance of stronger institutional collaboration, appropriate Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms and meaningful community participation also featured prominently.

The Principal Judge, Her Lordship Lady Justice Jane Frances Abodo, @JudiciaryUG, recognised our contribution to advancing access to justice and protecting the rights of vulnerable communities in Karamoja.

For FIDA-Uganda, such engagements are critical to ensuring that justice extends beyond courtrooms and legal provisions to become accessible, responsive and meaningful for the communities that need it most.

The @Mglsd_UG, has cautioned the public against individuals and platforms falsely claiming to offer grants under the GROW Project. Women entrepreneurs are advised to remain vigilant, avoid unauthorised registration platforms and never pay individuals promising access to grants or business support.

At FIDA-Uganda, we recognise that protecting women's economic rights also means ensuring they can pursue economic opportunities without being exposed to fraud and exploitation.
