Uganda is one of three focus countries within the Unpaid Care Work (UCW) programme of
the Accountable Grant. The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) is partnering with
ActionAid International (AAI) to help each of the three country programmes involved to
develop and implement an advocacy strategy to make unpaid care work more visible in
public policy, as well as to integrate unpaid care issues into each country’s programming.
IDS’s UCW programme uses an action learning methodology to look at what works and does
not work in making the care economy more visible. Further, it aims to track and capture
changes in policy and practice in order to improve understanding around the uptake of
evidence (i.e. how evidence is being used or ignored, by whom, and with what effects).
