Despite having this multi-layered role in their families and communities, the work of women is often not recognised and they have less or no access to the resources available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"708\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-162772 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 708px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 708\/708;width:416px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-edited.jpg 708w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-edited-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">GALS training organised by ECOTRUST<\/mark><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1018\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-Uganda2-1024x1018.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-162770 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/1018;width:419px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-Uganda2-1024x1018.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-Uganda2-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-Uganda2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-Uganda2-768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GALS-training-ECOTRUST-Uganda2.jpg 1326w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">An example of a vision road journey<\/mark><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vision road journey: joint planning<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>To address gender inequality at the source, working on household and community level also improves women\u2019s access to land and its resources. ECOTRUST worked with couples on improving their financial planning and administration through exercises including both women and men. Couples worked on a \u2018vision road journey\u2019 together, encouraging the participants to visualise both visions for their households both individually and jointly, in a particular time frame. Subsequently, they evaluate their current and past situation, and identify opportunities for their future goals \u2013 and the steps to take to achieve them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>These activities have stimulated significant changes. Whereas, according to Pauline Nantongo, Executive Director of ECOTRUST \u2018cultural tradition only allows women to fulfil maternal and household roles, women are now actively participating in planning the family budget and making financial decisions.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>One of the coordinators of a farmer\u2019s cooperation, Fred Wamono, said the training sessions of ECOTRUST made a real difference in his family: his wife and he now have joint meetings about their finances, they have joint a savings group together and they have purchased land and four cows together. Another participant, Apollo Kugonza shared that \u2018the development I experienced in my home ever since being introduced to GALS has been enormous, which can be attributed to the fact that women are more risk averse than men and take financial decisions into careful consideration,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The gender balance tree has helped me maintain order in my home, now I can tell my sons to do the dishes.<\/p>\n<\/div><cite>GALS training participant Ireen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Household conflicts and gender-based violence<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>A major challenge in these farming communities is spending a large part of the family income on alcohol. According to Prossy Kisembo, Coordinator Murchison Landscape at ECOTRUST, \u2018men feel like they should spend their money and time on \u201cleisure\u201d activities and the women can do the rest \u2013 since their contribution to the home is the money they provide,\u2019 which creates power imbalances. For the NGO, it has been challenging to attract a substantial number of men to the training sessions, while joint participation is essential to the GALS approach. At the same time, when men were present at the meetings, some women may have been less open because they felt oppressed by their partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>One of the goals is that by empowering women, both men and women view the roles of their partners differently. In some families, the training sessions have greatly improved gender relations, potentially also leading to decreasing gender-based violence. To address conflicts, ECOTRUST used a GALS tool called the \u2018challenge action tree\u2019&nbsp; that delves deeper into understanding the challenges being faced in households and identifying the root causes of conflicts, while pointing out potential solutions for these problems. For participant Ireen this tool initiated a significant change: \u2018the gender balance tree has helped me maintain order in my home, now I can tell my sons to do the dishes.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long-term gender transformation<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The introduction of GALS has resulted in improving to the opportunities of both women and the men in the participating families and in their communities. \u2018Women are now more often perceived as knowledgeable and are consulted on matters concerning livelihoods and households,\u2019 said Judith Nyiramugisha, Coordinator Mt, Elgon Landscape at ECOTRUST.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The road to gender equality, however, starts at a young age. For girls, an important step is going to school. Feeling safe in their homes, however, is also essential in obtaining life skills to adapt to societies they are part of. As is key to the GALS approach, both girls and boy must be encourage to work together on the resources available. As mentioned by participant Ireen, the GALS training sessions have led to more boys doing house girls, sharing this responsibility with girls and women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Although there are still many steps to take towards an equal use of sustainable land use and ownership, the GALS training of ECOTRUST in farming communities has shown significant steps forward. \u2018GALS enables us to show people that they can be agents of change, starting with both women and men visualising their future,\u2019 concluded Pauline Nantongo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"background background-preset-primary\" id=\"block_3bb8b9e73652a0ee7f6ed5e4dbf7363d\">\n             <div class=\"dark custom-padding-top\">\n    \n\n\n<div class=\"smallteam-members__name12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n\t<div id=\"team-members-block_d61912eaba640d2835e05285294f59a0\" class=\"team-members team-members-block block\">\n\t\t<span class=\"anchor-id\" id=\"\"><\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"team-members__title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div>More information?
