This activity aims to raise awareness on issues which in many cases have already surfaced, but whose impact upon effective national development has not been sufficiently reflected upon. This rural strategy is planned in collaboration with other women organisations, rural women's groups, community-based organisations, development agencies as well as local government councils. Programme As indicated earlier, the founders of Isis perceived information as the core vision that would help women uplift their status. One of the main reasons for the move to Uganda was to tap the voices of the African women, in order to integrate them in the global women's movement. The initial documentation focuses on Ugandan women's experiences in armed conflicts.
War exacts a heavy toll on the physical, mental and psychological health of women.
It has been found necessary to initiate rural information units as pilot projects. Here tape recorders are made available so that rural women can record their views and share these with other communities as well as the general public through the mainstream media. Partners at the community level would participate more in terms of content and of course give communities the chance to be directly involved in processing, producing and disseminating information. Therefore, the strategy is to use integrated channels of communication. This is received in various formats, i.e., through ICTs, visual, audio and print.
