Genogen Women in Development Organisation (GWIDO) is a community-based organisation (CBO) working with women in Nebbi District. Championed by Roseline Nyakwo, who noticed that more and more women and girls approached her for training and that many who had passed through her training had been successful.

GWIDO runs a 4-month apprenticeship programme during which women and girls are trained in tailoring, knitting, and designing of garments. The organisation targets to enroll more women every year and has expanded the curriculum to include life skills and basic entrepreneurship training.

Initially, the organisation started as a merry-go-round where members would contribute funds in a rotation to a person. This grew to a more formalised savings scheme where the group would contribute funds on a weekly basis and share out at the end of the savings cycle, with members acquiring loans during the savings cycle.

Improved self-reliance of women and out of school girls project builds the institutional capacity of Genogen Women in Development Organisation (GWIDO) to serve and promote  self-confidence and self-reliance among women and girls in the community.

Capacity strengthening is done through training 5 staff and 60 participants exclusively women and  out-of-school girls in the community on life skills, financial literacy and basic entrepreneurship. Skills development for self-reliance is achieved through vocational skills training in the areas of tailoring, knitting and designing.
