The Council for Economic Empowerment for Women of Africa (CEEWA)-Uganda chapter is a non- governmental, non-partisan and not for profit organization working to promote the economic empowerment of women in the development process. CEEWA was born at the fifth African NGO Forum held in Dakar, Senegal in 1994 in one of the workshops that observed that the economic policies were adversely impacting on women yet nothing much was being done to address the concerns. CEEWA was therefore formed to be a torchbearer for African Women Economic Empowerment with national chapters in different countries.
