Women’s Empowerment Collectives Mapping Supports Empowerment
We are proud to have just completed a very fascinating and important piece of work mapping Women’s Groups and Women Empowerment Collectives in Uganda and Nigeria. This study provides a database of groups and collectives with a majority of women participants and insights into how the groups were formed, what they do, profiling of members as well as their pathways to empowerment.

Women’s Empowerment Collectives form a very powerful vehicle for implementation of programmes across a range of areas, but more importantly driving Women Economic Empowerment through health programming, livelihoods, financial services, to mention a few. As a highlight from the Uganda report, Uganda is estimated to have over 164,000 Women’s groups, only 7% were categorised as health groups, but over 50% of other categories integrate health programming in their activities.
This study was conducted in collaboration with CARE International in Uganda and Plan International in Nigeria. The report for Uganda can be accessed here (WECs Landscaping Study Report - 30 Aug 2022.pdf) and stay tuned for Nigeria.
