Assistant Care Manager job at ACORD Uganda
About the Organization
Job Description
The effects of climate change are different for women and men. This is because, they have different roles, life challenges, rights, and preferences. Women commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change. Women’s unequal participation in decision-making processes and labor markets compound inequalities that often prevent them from fully contributing to climate change-related planning, policy-making, and implementation.
