1.1.1.1 Background Information
These terms of reference apply to a 5-year Thematic Portfolio on Social Protection and Decent Work which is implemented in Uganda and is funded by the Kingdom of Belgium. The project is jointly executed by Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development. The long-term ambition of this project is to improve the living conditions and resilience of the most vulnerable populations in the Great Lakes region by investing in social protection systems and decent work, as well as contributing to the promotion of their sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic development. While the specific objective is that women and young people of working age in the Great Lakes region have an increased opportunity to engage in decent work, are better protected by labour rights and benefit from social protection and more inclusive social dialogue. This Portfolio will contribute to two strategic objectives of the third National Development Plan (NDP III) aiming at “Increasing Household Incomes and Improving Quality of Life of Ugandans”, namely (i) to strengthen the private sector to create jobs and (ii) to enhance productivity and social well-being of the population. The portfolio is implemented in Uganda, Rwanda, and the
Democratic Republic of Congo. In Uganda, it geographically focuses on Albertine and Rwenzori regions while it is context-wise engaged with agriculture (cocoa and coffee), tourism and hospitality sectors.
Project context
The second result area (pillar 2) of the Decent Work and Social Protection project aims at making the fundamental principles and rights at work for workers in the formal and informal economy better respected, protected and fulfilled. Standards and rights at work cover topics such as freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, the prohibition of all forms of forced labour, elimination of the worst forms of child labour, non-discrimination in employment (equal pay for equal work) and health and safety.
Pillar 2 has a list of specific activities to promote gender equality and a safe working environment in the framework of decent work. Many reports testify that women in the labour market are faced with several problems that range from gender inequality, discrimination, and exposure to precarious work and gender-based violence. According to the 2021 National Survey on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG), 62% of women in Uganda have ever experienced violence of any form by their partners, sexual violence being the highest estimated at 36%. The rate of gender-based violence (GBV) in Uganda has staggered around 55% to 70% in the last decade as per the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), and 80% of women have ever experienced violence at workplace (UBOS, 2009; 2016;2021).
Although there are significant issues related to implementation, the legislative framework serves well in the fight against GBV countrywide. According to the 2016 National Policy on Elimination of Gender Based Violence (GBV) Policy (revised in 2019), GBV refers to physical, sexual, economic or psychological violations which are subjected to individuals and/or a group of persons based on social expectations of men and women. The Policy defines GBV to include 1) Physical violence which includes; battering and beating, 2) Sexual violence which includes; rape, child sexual abuse, defilement and incest, sexual assaults, sexual harassment, forced prostitution and trafficking in persons, 3) Harmful traditional practices such as Female Genital Mutilation, early and forced marriages and dowry related violence, 4) Economic violence such as denial of assets and economic livelihoods, and 5) Emotional and psychological violence such as verbal abuse, humiliation and confinement (MoGLSD 2019). So, alignment with international policies and protocols is nearly achieved at the policy definition level. Nevertheless, the creation and maintenance of a safe working environment requires improvements in the regulations, implementations, and further follow-up on the ground. Lastly, it needs to be embraced at the community level to have a sustainable impact on the most vulnerable populations faced with GBV in the world of work.
As the project develops partnerships with different organizations to research the gaps in genderbased discrimination and gender-based violence (GBV) in the workplace targeting agriculture, tourism, and hospitality sectors in the Albertine and Rwenzori regions, as well as how to better identify and address gender-based discrimination and all forms of GBV faced by women, men and youth in the targeted areas and sectors, the project also seeks to launch a communication campaign on GBV and discrimination in the world of work to understand the community-level dynamics and to strengthen the impact at the field level.
