Founded in 2016 and legally registered in the year 2028. Implicit Effect Community Initiative (IECI) was born from a resolute determination to break down barriers hindering economic freedom for Uganda's vulnerable children and youth. The organization has an extended focus to women, being the primary care takers or our target group. Our founders, witnessed the urgent need to address limited education access, unemployment, gender inequality, and unsafe environments. This catalyzed IECI's inception, and since then, we have impacted over 21,000 children, 13,000 youth, and 7,542 women, fostering empowerment, education, and inclusion in a transformative journey towards a more equitable society. The organization was initially called implicit effect Admonitors Agency. Due feedback from partners and review by the board, in the year 2022/23 the Name was changed to Implicit Effect Community Initiative. It is at the same time the application for the NGO certificate was made. This was adding to the already recognized status as a company limited by guarantee to a non government organization status. Implicit Effect Community Initiative is committed to ending barriers to economic freedom for Children and Youth in Uganda. Our services also extend to women who are the primary care takers to our target group yet also highly vulnerable. IECI is focused on addressing mainly four key barriers: limited access to education, skills, quality health care and access to financial services. Our efforts however address the following critical needs: o Limited Access to Quality Education: Many children and youth lack access to quality education and skills training, impeding their ability to break free from economic limitations. o Unemployment and Limited Skills: Youth face unemployment due to insufficient- inappropriate skills and opportunities, hindering their economic self-sufficiency. o Limited Entrepreneurial Support: Aspiring entrepreneurs, especially among youth and women, lack access to resources and mentorship to launch and sustain successful businesses. o Public Health and Well-being Challenges: Children, youth, and women face inadequate access to healthcare, contributing to poor health outcomes and limiting their potential for economic advancement. o Gender Inequality and Discrimination: Women and girls encounter systemic gender biases and discrimination, restricting their access to resources and opportunities. o Unsafe Environment (Vulnerability & S/GBV-Climate Change): Vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, are disproportionately affected by climate change and gender-based violence, necessitating targeted interventions for their safety and empowerment.

Good governance ensures accountability, fairness, and transparency throughout our social, governmental, and business systems. On the African continent, women are underrepresented at every level in the workplace, especially in senior leadership roles. According to the UN, this type of unequal treatment of women in the workplace has cost Sub-Saharan Africa approximately $105bn and has significant implications on the utilization of the continents full human capital potential and achievement of its development goals. The Boardroom Africa was borne out of these realities. We champion female leadership on a pan-African level by building a network of women leaders who collectively dispel the myth that there aren't enough qualified women to support the growth of the continent. We help build role models at the top to change the way organizations are led through our educational content. We offer a board training program for women across the continent and to date, we've trained 64+ women. We also have built a community of over 1,000 women on the continent leading change and deliver open webinars, trainings, and meetups to upskill this network. Finally, we've conducted publicly released research on 13 African countries to assess the gender gap in their companies. We want to shift the demand by ensuring society realizes the benefits of increased female participation in leadership, and create an ecosystem of women who can go into the world and inspire others.

he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.
