Apollo B.Gabazira,the Country director,Care International disclosed that they have been working with the government of Uganda on several projects and that DREAMS project is also meant to provide technical support to Government projects like the Parish Development Model (PDM) and GROW on matters to do with gender.

“DREAMS project will provide technical assistance to enable Parish Development Model (PDM) and GROW programs to become gender transformative by supporting them to target women as equal participants and beneficiaries,give women equal voice and participation in all activities, ensure women have equal access to and control over program benefits and results as well as embed tested enterprise growth, financial and digital inclusion models,” he explained.

“Additionally, DREAMS will directly increase financial autonomy of 20,000 Women through developing and testing innovative enterprise growth, financial and digital inclusion models.”

A number of Organisations have joined hands with CARE International to ensure the success of the DREAMS project.
