The programme will be implemented in 14 districts in Uganda, of which two are refugee hosting districts. UNFPA and UN Women will implement the programme through their implementing partners at both national and subnational levels. The programme will be implemented according to three Joint Programme principles: 1. Promote local ownership, leadership and accountability for the GBV and SRHR agenda 2. Human rights, gender equality and empowerment of women and girls are the key foundation issues which inform all interventions for prevention and response to GBV under this programme 3. Coordinated and integrated multi-sectoral approach working with government, CSO’s, FBO’s, cultural institutions and the private sector to contribute towards strengthening national capacity. Both UN organizations work with implementing partners; Government institutions, Civil Society Organizations (CSO’s), Faith Based Organizations (FBO’s), cultural and religious leaders, academia and research Institutions, private sector, media and social influencers. The programme has been developed with the leadership of government and through an extensive consultative process with CSO’s, LGs, private sector, communities and IP’s at national and sub-national level. This programme is aligned with the National Development Plan and UNDAF and is designed to contribute to the implementation of: the Social Development Sector Plan (SDSP), the National GBV Policy, the 4th Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) Sector Development Plan (SDP), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Reproductive, Maternal, New born, Child & Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) sharpened plan, the National Strategy to End Child Marriage and Teenage pregnancy - government strategies to eliminate GBV and promote SRHR. Through these, Government will continue to allocate resources for sustaining impacts through this joint programme aiming at realisation of gender equality and SRHR outcomes. The intervention is aiming at improving national indicators related to GBV and SRHR.
