Abstract:
The study aimed at establishing the moderating effects of gender policy on the relationship between good governance in UWEP and women economic empowerment in Kisoro and Kabale districts of South Western Uganda. A sample size of 255 was used to provide quantitative data. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analyses with the help of Statistical Package for Social Scientists as well as thematic analysis. The study revealed that gender policy has significant positive moderating effects on the relationship between good governance in UWEP and women economic empowerment. The study concluded that gender policy had significant positive moderating effects on the relationship between good governance and women economic empowerment in Kisoro and Kabale districts of Southwestern Uganda. The study recommends that the district management in collaboration with local authorities and community leaders should implement targeted awareness campaigns to bridge the information gaps regarding existing gender policy (Uganda Gender Policy 2007).
