In order to strengthen public and civil society sectors capacity for Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention and management, ACFODE in partnership with UWONET carried out an OCA of different local organizations (community based organisations, faith based organisations, non-governmental organisations) in districts of Mubende, Kanungu, Yumbe, Oyam, Katakwi, Moroto, Kotido and Kaboong. The assessment was done using the Organizational Capacity Assessment Tool (OCAT). The organizations were also assessed for GBV programming and implementation.

This activity was implemented as part of the 7th GOU/UNFPA country program under the Gender Component in the 8 selected districts of Uganda. 15 CSOs were targeted in each of the project districts and 2 participants preferably.

Over 75% of the participating CSOs reported that they had been addressing GBV for over three years and the reasons that prompted them to undertake GBV interventions were varied and included high prevalence of GBV due to development of camps as a result of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency in war affected areas, family breakages, HIV discordant couples fighting over the right to sex, stigma and discrimination, increasing domestic violence, rape and defilement among others. More findings and recommendations are contained in the ACFODE OCA article online.
