Om oss. Vi är en medlemsbaserad icke-vinstdrivande ideell förening där allt arbete utförs av och med volontära krafter. Vi grundades 2012 med syfte att främja jämställda markrättigheter i Afrika och har sedan dess genomfört projekt tillsammans med lokala organisationer i Malawi.

Vår vision

MUD Africas arbete utgår från principen om alla människors lika värde och våra projekt baseras i huvudsak på utbildningsaktiviteter och påverkansarbete.

Utbildning för att öka tillgången till information och sprida kunskap om bl.a. mark- och mänskliga rättigheter bland de utsatta människor och grupper vi arbetar med. Aktiviteterna inom detta område syftar även till att stärka individer och grupper till att utkräva sin rätt.

Påverkansarbetet syftar till att möjliggöra för de utsatta att påverka ansvariga myndigheter och organisationer till att förändra situationen.

Våra partners

Rätten och tillgången till mark är avgörande i många utvecklingsländer. Vårt arbete för att främja jämställda markrättigheter och stärka utsatta grupper och människor genomförs genom projekt tillsammans med lokala partnerorganisationer.

I våra projektplaner går det att läsa om Lilongwe Urban Poor People’s Network (LUPPEN) och Millennium Information Resource Centre (MIRECE).

Sara has a background of studies within human ecology and gender studies. She completed her Master at Aalborg University in the field of Global Gender Studies in 2018 exploring how international norms are contextualizied.

She has travled extensively and worked in vastly different geographical locations such as the US, Vietnam and India.

With a passion for social justice her work has focused on understanding and addressing inequality in a variety of forms. Her work has explored theories around intersectionality and thus how social markers such gender, ethnicity and class relate to the urban and rural environment. Additionally, she has worked cross-culturally addressing ways in which gender issues could be recognised, implemented and become significant parts of project design.

During spring 2018 she was elected as Board member for MUD Africa.
