Towards effective political participation and decision making for women councillors in decentralised local governments and the role of NGOs in Uganda
This is a report on a DENIVA study into the role of women councillors in decentralised local governance in Uganda. A new framework for administrative, fiscal and financially decentralised local government was established in 1993, which specified a quota of one-third women councillors. Women's numerical participation in local governance has not been matched in terms of their individual influence or their collective gender impact on council programmes (strategic presence).
