Building Stronger Teams in Uganda

August 1, 2025

This month, Sam, our Africa Region Director, travelled to Uganda to meet and train with East African partners. The Links Africa Hub’s presence in Kenya has allowed us to deepen relationships and make more frequent site visits across this region.

Partner Highlight: Uganda Women Concern Ministries

In Mbale, Sam connected with Uganda Women Concern Ministries (UWCM). Esther, the organisation’s director, and her team have embraced two of Links’ core focus areas: Faith and Business.

Faith: Leadership Character and Team Culture

Our interactive training explored both “Heart” (character) and “Smart” (skills) dimensions of effective leadership:
  • Understanding personality, style, and gifting differences
  • Valuing diverse perspectives to boost team impact
  • Balancing urgency and reflection in group dynamics
For example, in a crisis, team activists must be empowered to speak up and act, while team reflectors may pause too long to effectively act. During project planning, giving team reflectors time to think ensures activists can implement well-defined and reasoned objectives.

Business: Micro Enterprise Development (MED)

As UWCM refines its management model, the team recognised a need for independent income streams to empower staff and volunteers. We reintroduced MED a few years back, and team members showcased how their small businesses are transforming both the organisation and their households:
  • Carol’s poultry and egg venture supplies reliable income to support her family.
  • Jackie’s livestock enterprise is helping her build a new home and kitchen.
Our partnership with UWCM illustrates how combining Faith leadership training with sustainable Business initiatives can strengthen and build teams to be more impactful in the communities they serve.
