She was addressing residents of Bufunjo Sub country in Kyenjojo District.
PAR model implemented by Twaweza since 2020 equips communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools to build their confidence to exercise individual and collective agency.
The intervention requires communities to identify community challenges, prioritize them, establish the underlying causes of the problems, and collectively agree on action leading to solutions that address these problems.
As a result of these efforts, communities in 5 districts of Uganda have registered some success.
These include fixing disfunctional water sources, broken roads and the construction and renovation of classroom blocks and dispensaries.
For some communities, public servants (teachers and nurses) were posted or transferred in response to community concerns, and drugs were available in the health centers.
