Sammendrag
This report is a result of my engagement in Agder Research’s exchangeprogramme with Uganda Women’s Network in Uganda and CRDA in Ethiopia, under the Norwegian Fredskorpset (FK). My interest in understanding the relationship between women’s economic contributions and possible avenues for empowerment led to my choice of studying the theories and assumptions behind targeting women with access to credit. Due to the complexity of Baganda social and cultural life, and due to the disagreement on the interpretation of gender in Africa, the task has been arduous. The purpose of this report is to display that in order to understand these themes, qualitative in-depth case studies on social organisation, cultural perspectives, and social interaction among actors in local communities, are necessary.
