Speaker Oulanyah To Women: Translate Your Agendas Into Practical Things

Jacob Oulanyah, the speaker of Parliament has asked the representatives of UN women to translate their agendas into practical things. He said this regarding the matter of helping women from the rural areas.

“How do we translate [these agendas] into practical things? I want impactful discussions about things that affect women, actions we can take. We should stop measuring things on the basis of how much money we have allocated, but rather we must do output accountability. What is the value? What impact has been made?”

Oulanyah advised the group of women to shift from speaking at high tables, conferences and floating figures that are in abstract with the realities on ground.

He says there should be a deliberate push to make the agenda impactful to all women including the rural-based ones.

“I want us to assess progress in real terms; these are the shifts I want to hear…come to me with pragmatic things, what we need to do to transform the women. In all this [women empowerment], we want to know that what works is what counts, we should make our work count for these people.” he said

Jacob Oulanyah was meeting with UN Women Uganda representatives led by the Deputy Country representative, Elizabeth Mushabe.

Most of the times, women especially the feminists have agendas that are way beyond the usual.

Not that it is bad but if you get it and take it to rural areas, it is very inapplicable so it makes their agenda unrealistic.
