YOWLI 2010 ,COUNTDOWN.

The Accountability Tracking (ACT) is one of AWOMI’s three main program areas of work. It covers action research mapping all critical issues related to gender, economic reforms and social justice including access to water and sanitation, HIV/AIDs, services related to sexuality, reproductive health and rights (SRHR); food sovereignty and nutrition, finance, women’s unpaid work, representation, participation and voice.

AWOMI’s third program, the Women Empowerment Fund (WEFU) is the corollary activity of the ACT and YOWLI. The WEFU serves as a funding program to post YOWLI identified initiatives and also promotes income generating opportunities for women at the local level. Following the month long YOWLI training AWOMI selects a few of the best YOWLI proposals that link implementation of the ACT to Advocacy and social mobilization and provides support to the YOWLI groups through a partner mentoring organization.

The Young Women’s Knowledge and Leadership Institute (YOWLI) is one of the  Flagshp programs of  AWOMI.YOWLI was set up to enable young women and men of African descent to widen their leadership horizons, enhance their knowledge base and actively engage in monitoring and fighting for social justice.
