JOB SUMMARY
CARE International in Uganda supports the financial inclusion aspirations of women and youth who encounter a distinct set of circumstances, in humanitarian / emergency and relatively stable environments which places them amongst the vulnerable and marginalized members of their community. Through the Women and Youth Financial Inclusion Program (WAYFIP) women and youth are empowered to obtain diversified and sustainable livelihoods. They are also supported to access equitable financial inclusion and economic opportunities that can be achieved through engaging with markets, 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 and women economic empowerment strategic approach among the Conflict affected South Sudanese women, CARE Uganda is in partnership with UN Women to implement a three (3) years (2018— 2021) Women is Leadership, Empowerment, Access and Protection (LEAP) programme in Yumbe and Adjumani districts.
The LEAP programme seeks to increase the opportunities for women for South Sudanese women refugees in Adjumani and Yumbe to: a) Lead and participate in refugee and host population decision-making processes, b) Access and protect their rights; and c) Enhance education and skills and improve economic opportunities and empowerment.
