Sammendrag
This has been an effort to show if there indeed is anything to gain in engaging in incomegenerating

activities (IGA). The study takes us to North-Eastern Uganda in the Sub-Region of

Teso where a women’s group was founded by the name of Teso Women’s Peace Activists or

TEWPA. A woman engaging in activities to gain income is not new on the continent of Africa.

I Uganda, the local NGOs, community based organizations and the civil service have kept the

drum of self-help and alternative income to come out of york of poverty.

This study looks at the different theories that conceptualise the approaches to women

empowerment and women engagement in IGAs as opposed to the basic mechanism that make

this possible. This then has led to examination of social movements and social actions where

collective actions and social capital plays a role in the mobilization process of women.

Included are also a closer look at the WID, WAD, and GAD approaches and what went

wrong for women’s fight to accepted and placed as equals to access the resources that men

reserve for themselves and the traditional and religious values that put women in role models

that may be considered out of date in some parts of world and yet very alive in some others.

It is my hope that this study attempts to show this differences and the opportunities that can

be seized and made use of to promote the women’s aspiration for a better place live in and a

standard that reduces poverty and promotes opportunities. The gains and challenges they

meet should act as the ammunition for tomorrow.
