Gender Environment and Development Action (GEDA-UGANDA) is a Not for profit  Development Organisation that operates in Uganda. GEDA- Uganda  was founded with a gender and  environment  mission geared towards  understanding  the measures and drivers of gender inequality in  environment,  economic, health, socio- cultural  spheres in development and humanitarian context  with strong commitment and action learning agenda to ignite community led   innovations and   solutions  that promote gender equity, environmental and economic justice for a world where women and  girls  have the  power to harness their full potential

We realize girls and women interact with the environment most often looking for firewood, cultivating the land and therefore being more attracted to environmental degradation. we engage them to use other alternative energy sources like energy cooking stoves, heat retention bags, brickets among others.

The other approach being employed by GEDA Uganda is “men engage” especially with the issues to do with Sex and Gender based violence (SGBV), doing counseling, referral pathways among others.

Food safety and nutrition is another key aspect that that GEDA Uganda focuses on in contribution to SDG2. According to the Uganda Ministry of Health, the burden of foodborne diseases is about 1.3 million cases, constituting 14 percent of all cases treated annually. The commonest foodborne-related conditions are typhoid, brucellosis, bacillus dysentery, cholera and aflatoxin contamination. We therefore carry out consumer awareness meetings, trainings and workshops but also engaging the duty bearers, media, market leaders among others.
