(Re)producing cultural narratives on women in public affairs programmes in Uganda

January 12, 2020

The article by Emily Comfort Maractho looks at how women’s visibility and voice remain limited in public affairs programming in Uganda. The article examines how mass media reproduce cultural narratives that affect women in Uganda. It is part of a larger study on representation, interaction and engagement of women and broadcast media in Uganda. Ugandan women have made tremendous strides in public life, and hold strategic positions in politics and policy-making. This increased participation in public life is attributed to Uganda’s focused pro-women constitution and affirmative action policy. In spite of this progress, women’s visibility and voice remain limited in public affairs programming in Uganda.

The findings suggest that the media reproduce cultural narratives through programming that mirror traditional society view of women and exclude women’s political and public narratives. The interactive and participatory public affairs programming is increasingly important for democratic participation. While men actively engage with such programming, women have failed to utilize it for the mobilization of women, reconstruction of gender stereotypes and producing new argumentation that challenges problematic cultural narratives that dominate media and society.

Improving Development Outcomes Through Social and Behavior Change Communication: Applying a Governance Lens

November 7, 2019

This a summary of an analytical study that can be found on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) website at this URL. Governmental engagement with citizens on issues that affect their daily lives can be critical for addressing development challenges across sectors. Yet distrust of government and/or the international community and their motives can hamper development efforts. The field of social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) holds lessons for actors seeking to address these challenges. By presenting many of the frequently-used practices from the SBCC field, this study aims to inform and strengthen USAID’s work in Africa across sectors such as health, food security, conflict, economic growth, education, and the environment.
