 The Peace, Recovery and Development Plan for North and North Eastern Uganda (PRDP), whose full-scale implementation started in July 2009, establishes the guiding principles, the institutional framework and the strategic objectives for any future peace building, recovery and development interventions in the Greater Northern region of Uganda.
The Women’ Task Force for a Gender Responsive PRDP (WTF) has prepared recommendations for the 14 PRDP programmes meant to guide policy makers and practitioners during the implementation of the PRDP. The recommendations are deemed Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound. Beyond these specific recommendations, the major recommendations for a successful PRDP with tangible results on the ground are: Decision-making, planning, resource allocation and implementation must be grounded in women’s realities. Women and women’s organisations must play an active role in the PRDP implementation, monitoring and evaluation as contributors of ideas and as beneficiaries. The capacity of PRDP implementers for gender mainstreaming and women’s empowerment must be strengthened. Specific and sufficient human and financial resources have to be committed to address women’s needs and gender equality issues.
