National Association for Women’s Action in Development (NAWAD)

is a non-governmental women’s organisation in Uganda that is focused on the family and the crucial role women play in their families, their communities and the development of Uganda as a nation.

NAWAD’s mission is to empower women and girls to achieve social justice, economic stability and sustainable management of their environment through capacity building, research, advocacy, and service provision.

NAWAD is unique among women’s organisations due to its focus on women and the environment along with the family and community as a whole. Their programmes focus on sustainable natural resource management, social and economic rights, governance, peace and security and institutional development.
