UMWA runs a media house, Mama FM which is a community development women focused radio operating in Kampala and the greater Central Region of Uganda.

[8] UMWA aims to raise the status of Uganda's women, especially those in rural communities, so that they are involved and can freely participate in development programmes that are designed to not only benefit them but the country at large.

A case in point is minister without Portfolio Abraham Byandala who was wanted punished after having been captured on camera on 23 March 2016 punching Judith Naluggwa in the lower abdomen as she took photos of him at the Anti-Corruption Court.

Mr Byandala had appeared in court in connection with the Shs24 billion Mukono-Katosi road scandal in which he is implicated.

The Board provides an oversight role to implement and execute policies, fundraise, recruit key staff, approve annual plans and budgets, and advice the Secretariat as needed.
