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 counselling, referral pathways among others.
Vision: A world where gender equity , Environment and Economic justice prevail, in which women & girls have the power to harness their full potential”
The mission is to “Promote gender and environmentally sensitive development initiatives for resilient and dignified lives for all”
