Headquartered in Mbarara, Uganda, WIDDI emerged from a critical need to dismantle barriers preventing women from accessing high-level decision-making tables. We recognized that true development requires more than awareness; it demands practical capacity, intellectual confidence, and a sophisticated ecosystem where leadership is actively cultivated. Our journey began with local community action and has since evolved into an international force for systemic change.

Today, we operate as a borderless resource for policymakers and emerging leaders alike. Through rigorous research and cross-sector partnerships, we translate lived experiences into actionable evidence that informs global institutions, ensuring that women remain the primary architects of their own livelihoods and progress.
