Resume

The purpose of this intervention is to develop the capacity of the newly established organisation Ngalo Buwereza (NBO) which organises and supports home-based workers in Uganda. Home-based workers are workers who produce goods or services either from their own homes, or adjacent grounds, or from a public space. NBO was formally registered in 2022 and held its first General Assembly in February 2023. The organization offers services to 121 member organizations throughout Uganda, comprising a total of 4,242 individual members of which approximate two thirds are women. The proposed intervention will support a member-led constitution-drafting process which will result in a consolidated constitution draft being presented and approved by the 2024 General Assembly.
