{Months after being voted among the most decent First Ladies, Uganda\u2019s Janet Museveni has now been selected as Africa\u2019s Woman of the Year, by Decent Africa.}<\/p>\n
Decent Africa is pioneer Organistion that \u201cpromotes decent fashion designs within and beyond Africa.\u201d \u201cAt Decent Africa, we believe that decency is meant to be a culture that African women are proud of and not just a practice,\u201d states their website.<\/p>\n
The Body in May last year ranked Mrs Museveni as the most decent first lady on the continent, basing on a survey that takes stock of events that Africa\u2019s first ladies have attended in the last 12 months, with the aim of aggregating their fashion statements and eventually rating them on decency grounds.<\/p>\n
Mrs Museveni has now been picked by the same organisation as Africa\u2019s woman of the year, for her influence and diligent service.<\/p>\n
\u201cHon. Janet Museveni has continued to notably influence and play a leadership role in life changing activities and projects all through 2014. It is therefore no wonder that a survey which involved the direct and indirect participation of at least 32,759 people from all over Africa, has named her Africa\u2019s Woman of the Year,\u201d said Ms Tasha Nalinya, Decent Africa\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n
The survey, they say, involved assessing and rating of different influential African leaders on Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team engaged thousands of people from all over Africa, with the aim of gathering their opinions about who they thought was Africa\u2019s Most Influential Woman. This influence was about leadership in general, with a specific interest in endeavours that aimed at touching, changing, improving and having a positive impact on the lives of people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe respondents commended Janet Museveni as outstandingly Decent and Exceptionally Motivational. Many have noted that she serves as a very good example to the African woman and the Girl child. Her continuous fight against HIV\/AIDS and the restoration of African morals were some of the reasons respondents gave for their choice of Uganda\u2019s First Lady. \u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cSeveral other respondents also noted her role in the Protect Your Goal project, Elimination of Mother to Child HIV AIDS Campaign and a variety of life changing projects in Karamoja as some of the factors that have earned her admiration.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a Bachelor of Education from Makerere University and a diploma in childhood Development from Sweden, Mrs Museveni, and Member of Parliament for Ruhama and Minister for Karamoja affairs, Hon. Janet Museveni is bwinh hailed for winning the admiration of many people world over.<\/p>\n
\u201cListening to Uganda\u2019s Janet Museveni, Sierra Leone\u2019s Sia Koroma, Namibia\u2019s Penehupifo Pohamba, Ghana\u2019s Ernestina Mills, and Zambia\u2019s Thandiwe Banda, the most striking thing is that these women care deeply about the condition of society. As professionals in their own right, these women are actively promoting education and rural development and championing poverty eradication and the fight against HIV\/Aids.\u201d BBC Network Africa\u2019s Veronique Edwards wrote in 2010.<\/p>\n
