In Uganda, one of the world’s youngest populations, the government adopted the National Development Plan III and from this the UN adopted the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework to support its implementation. 

The last two years saw sharp spikes in the cases of domestic violence reported to police, unprecedented rise in teen-pregnancies and high numbers of women-led businesses closing, exposing already concerning gender gaps in access to finance/collateral and technology in uganda, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Joined by a representative from Uganda Network of Young People living with HIV/AIDS, UNYPA, one of UN Women's instrumental partnerships, to discuss these developments.

Guest: Ruth Awori, UNYPA Representative

Host: Kyosimire Priscilla, Fraune Ug
