Women's narration of life after the war in Northern Uganda: An ACORD Uganda production 2017 with support from MacArthur Foundation. 19 minutes.
From 2013-2016, 16 local organisations provided holistic support to survivors of sexual and gender based violence within a framework of transitional justice and consistent with Uganda's national efforts to provide redress for survivors. This included legal support, livelihoods support and psychosocial support. In the film, the women describe in their own words how this support helped them rebuild their lives, overcome stigma and discrimination within their communities and provide hope for a better future for their children.
Implementing partners included FIDA Uganda, Amref Health Africa, Uganda Fund, Centre for Reparations and Rehabilitation (CRR), Justice & Reconciliation project, FINASP, Lango Youth Development Network (LAYDNET), GWED-G, Uganda Law Society, WORUDET, Grassroots Reconciliation Group, CEFORD, A4D, Action for Community Development (ACOD-UG).
ACORD Uganda provided technical and methodological support to the MacArthur Foundation's grantees including in theory of change, M&E, learning, and capacity development for advocacy. While much has been achieved, there is still a need to do more to deal with the impact of the LRA war. ACORD and its partners are seeking to continue this good work.
