| The Role of NAWOU | ||||
| The role of NAWOU was the focal point for preparations of the womenÕs peace train to the WSSD, in Uganda. NAWOU played a role of mobilizing support for the initiative, coordination with other countries that were involved especially Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia. NAWOU brought together members of the civil society, central government, local government and security organs for this cause. Meetings were held in preparation for the occasion, a lot of fundraising was done. But most importantly making sure that there was a train to start in Kampala Uganda as originally planned by initiators of the WomenÕs Peace Train project, in view of the fact that Uganda Railways co-operation no longer operate passenger coaches. Negotiations were made between Uganda Railways and Kenya Railways to provide the train for the project. NAWOU also mobilized signatures for the petition for Global peace, which was signed at the Women World Congress to be presented to the leaders at the summit. |  | |||
