| description |
As Uganda builds back from the
COVID-19 shock, the Ugandan government is strengthening its
commitment to a more gender-inclusive and sustainable
economy. This report supports these efforts by describing
the gendered impacts of COVID-19 and provides
recommendations for Ugandan policy makers and World Bank
Group operations to ensure women’s participation in an
inclusive and sustainable recovery. It presents
gender-disaggregated data from three main sources: (1)
high-frequency phone surveys that track the impacts of the
COVID-19 shock: one of Ugandan nationals conducted in June
and one of refugees conducted in November 2020; (2)
interviews with 28 representatives of government
institutions, development partners, and women’s
organizations in Kampala and in rural areas; and (3) a
review of relevant policy and gray literature on climate
change, the green economy, and women’s economic empowerment.
The report is structured in five sections: introduction in
chapter one, chapter two describes the methodology and
guiding questions. Chapter three gives an overview of
Uganda’s policy environment for women’s economic empowerment
and green growth. Chapter four covers the impacts of the
COVID-19 crisis on women, their coping mechanisms, and their
sources of resilience. The analysis is broken down by sex,
age, geography, and refugee status to describe the impacts
of the COVID-19 shock across select subgroups. Chapter five
identifies opportunities for Uganda to pursue a more
gender-inclusive and green recovery, and concludes by
offering policy recommendations. |
