Brief Description:

The Project will strategically contribute to Uganda’s efforts to grapple with land tenure issues by developing and sharing best practices and regional experiences focused on gender equality. This initiative is being implemented in four peri-urban districts (Kamuli, Mityana, Kayunga, Wakiso – Entebbe) near Kampala. The project will raise awareness among local authorities, courts and police, elders, religious and customary leaders to promote positive action on women’s rights to land, housing and livelihoods. This will be reinforced by building the capacity of community paralegals to support individuals, primarily women, experiencing land and housing rights violations. It will also support women’s groups and communities to engage with Land Boards and Municipal Development Forums to negotiate land claims and advocate for access to land, resources and services.

Job Description:

• To assist in designing project communication newsletters, magazines and different IEC materials
• Suggest strategies to the Project Management for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of communication and visibility of the project;
