#C4CAt10 #LocallyLedUG 🎙️ Hon. Miria Matembe reminded women that everyone has a unique purpose and different talents to contribute to society. Quoting John 15:16, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last,” she encouraged women to recognise their calling and use their abilities to make a lasting difference. She illustrated this through the different fruits produced by different trees and plants, explaining that an orange tree, guava tree, pawpaw tree and passion fruit vine do not produce the same fruit. In the same way, women should not compare their journeys or try to become someone else. Instead, they should identify their own gifts, embrace their abilities and remain available to serve where they are needed. Her message was that leadership is not about imitating others, but understanding your purpose and using what you have been given to bear meaningful and lasting fruit.

🎙️ #C4CAt10 #LocallyLedUG Hon. Miria Matembe shared a personal reflection on the values that should guide leadership, emphasising the importance of having a clear purpose, a vision and a strong foundation built on justice and righteousness. Drawing from her personal experiences growing up and the sacrifices made around education in her family, she reflected on how life experiences shape one's convictions, sense of responsibility and commitment to making a difference.

🎙️ #C4CAt10 #LocallyLedUG Evelyn Akumu, Partnership Specialist and Localisation Focal Person at World Vision, shared how the organisation is changing its approach to make localisation more intentional and create greater opportunities for local actors to lead. She explained that World Vision has developed a localisation framework that encourages partnerships with local NGOs, community-based organisations and local governments. Rather than implementing everything directly, the organisation is increasingly issuing calls for proposals, co-designing projects with local partners and supporting them to strengthen their capacity to compete for funding and implement programmes. Evelyn noted that World Vision is currently working with approximately 78 local partners and has directed more than USD 137 million to local actors through competitive grant opportunities. She emphasised that listening to local organisations, especially women-led and youth-led groups, is essential in identifying who is being left behind and improving future localisation strategies.

🎙️ #C4CAt10 #LocallyLedUG Florence from CARE International in Uganda called for greater representation of women in leadership and decision-making across the humanitarian and development sector. She challenged the sector to move beyond recognising women’s contributions and ensure more women occupy influential positions, including controlling resources and funding that can benefit other women. She also highlighted CARE’s commitment to strengthening local partnerships, revealing that 60% of CARE’s funding is implemented through partners, 70% of whom are women-led organisations or women’s rights organisations. She emphasised that capacity-building must go beyond programme implementation to include financial management, reporting, accountability and demonstrating measurable impact. As the sector looks towards the next decade, she called on partners to work together to strengthen local organisations, build trust and ensure women-led organisations are recognised, resourced and respected for the work they do.

🎙️ #C4CAt10 #LocallyLedUG The discussion turned to a critical question: who really controls humanitarian funding and the decisions around how it is allocated? The panel acknowledged the perception that international NGOs hold much of the power over funding and decision-making, often leaving local organisations with limited influence over resources meant to support their communities. However, the conversation also highlighted emerging efforts to change this. One example shared was a programme in Kampala that is deliberately focusing on grassroots organisations, recognising their potential while giving them an opportunity to strengthen their organisational and financial systems. Genuine localisation requires more than partnerships on paper. It calls for trust, capacity-building and a willingness to give local organisations direct access to funding and decision-making.

🎙️ #C4CAt10 #LocallyLedUG Louisa Namahela from the Women-Led Organisation (WLO) community challenged the persistent inequalities that continue to hold back women-led organisations in the humanitarian sector. She emphasised that women have the experience, capacity and community presence to deliver, yet are still often relegated to supporting roles and treated as the last mile in service delivery. She questioned why funding continues to favour international organisations with bigger portfolios and stronger financial systems, while local women-led organisations struggle to meet demanding eligibility requirements. Her message was clear: women are already delivering on the ground; they must also be trusted, funded and given the opportunity to lead.
