Brief Description

Support was provided for the update and automation of VAWG tools for Uganda Police Force, Judiciary and Office of the Director for Public Procecution. These were rolled out in tandem with staff capacity building in the use of the tools. A participatory process targeting 6 JLOS institutions [Office of Public Prosecution (ODPP), Uganda Police Force (UPF) and Uganda Prison Services (UPS), Judiciary, Directorate of Government Analytical Laboratories (DGAL) and Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD)] produced recommendations that included the development of a Compendium of Concepts and Definitions on GBV, and harmonization of the Coding Systems. As part of the 16 Days of Activism, national, regional, and global conferences such as the Annual Gender Statistics Forum (AGSF), policy dialogues and the Annual National SDG Conference for data users were orgamised. This has contributed to promoting the production, analysis and use of VAWG/GBV data through the development of national thematic analytical reports, briefs and factsheets on gender equality and the SDGs.
