CARE International NGO Women Lead in Emergency Specialist Jobs in Uganda

CARE International has been active in Uganda since 1969 and working in the country continuously since 1979, implementing a diverse portfolio of programs and projects ranging from emergency services to economic development and civil society building.

Our current programming targets Women, Girls and youth as well as vulnerable groups such as the extreme poor, internally displaced people, children to provide assistance and opportunities for empowerment and sustainable development through addressing
the underlying causes of poverty grounded on careful and thorough analysis of power relations between different groups in society and the local context in which they live and work.

Our programming is guided
by our core values of transformation, Integrity, Diversity, Equality and excellence.

promotion of marketable skills and access to and utilization of financial services. CARE believes
financial inclusion of women and youth will catalyze new and diversified businesses in the local markets
and reduce poverty and vulnerability in their households. The program is largely based on CARE’s
existing Women’s Economic empowerment (WEE) programming where the VSLA methodology
contributes to the strategic approach of its core programs. In a bid to strengthen our financial inclusion
