Rural entrepreneurs from two grass-roots organisations in Western Uganda have been innovating with the Gender Action Learning System. The documentary shows the impact on their lives and their communities. The use of simple graphics and symbols enables members of Bukonzo Joint and Green Home to clearly visualise and understand their situation and collect useful information. The GALS methodology originated in work by Linda Mayoux with entrepreneurs and staff of Green Home, Bukonzo Joint and Kabarole Research and Resource Centre in Uganda, Port Sudan Small Entreprise Development in Sudan, ANANDI in India, Aga Khan Foundation Pakistan and Trickle-Up in USA. Development and dissemination of the GALS methodology is currently supported by Oxfam Novib under its Womens Empowerment Mainstreaming And Networking (WEMAN) programme. Film directed and edited by Dominique Chadwick. Linda Mayoux, global consultant for GALS and WEMAN. Thies Reemer, Programme lead for WEMAN.
