This one-day gathering in Washington, DC highlighted the work USAID and its partners are doing around intentional learning practices for better development outcomes. The first event in an annual series, "Moving the Needle: Better Development Programming Through Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting" brought together a diverse group of staff across USAID and representatives from over 40 implementing partner organizations to nurture a shared understanding of CLA and how we can use it to improve development programming.
Presentation of the National Action Plan for Child Well-Being USAIDPCM
Members of Parliament in Uganda and key stakeholders endorsed the values of the National Forum on the State of the Ugandan Child and pledged their support for improvements to child well-being. They endorsed the meeting's outcome and implementation of the resulting National Action Plan for Child Wellbeing, stating it is consistent with their constitutional mandate to support children. The endorsement was signed by several Parliamentary committees related to social issues and child welfare.
The document summarizes key findings from analyzing education data in Uganda related to early childhood education and primary school completion rates. It finds that Uganda has a "triple crisis" of (1) unreported repetition and inflated enrollment numbers in early grades, (2) lack of early childhood education, and (3) poor reading skills in early primary grades. Investing in improving these foundational early years could increase costs per student but lower costs per student completing primary by reducing waste. The social benefits of increasing secondary school transition, such as improved health outcomes, provide further motivation for reforming the early education system through a comprehensive package of interventions.
Technical Presentation: Child Rights and the Justice Systems in UgandaUSAIDPCM
The document discusses the Ugandan justice system's treatment of children. It describes situations that may involve children, such as criminal, civil, administrative, and traditional proceedings. It notes issues like a lack of juvenile detention facilities, difficulties verifying ages, and case backlogs. To address this, it recommends increasing investment in child justice systems, harmonizing formal and informal systems, strengthening community leader and police training, prioritizing alternative dispute resolution, and establishing child-friendly procedures. The goal is ensuring all children's rights are respected in the justice process regardless of circumstances.
Technical Presentation: Child Focused Social Protection/VACUSAIDPCM
The document discusses how child-focused social protection programs in Africa can promote inclusive human development and equitable economic growth. It argues that such programs reduce poverty and inequality while protecting children's rights. Evidence shows that interventions targeting children's nutrition, cognitive development, health, and education can have positive impacts on labor market outcomes, local economies, and national economic growth. The document advocates for comprehensive, integrated social protection approaches to maximize developmental impacts on children and support pro-poor, inclusive growth.
Technical Presentation: Literacy in UgandaUSAIDPCM
This document discusses the benefits of teaching children to read in their mother tongue in the early grades of primary school. It notes that statistics show low literacy levels in Uganda and cites a lack of early reading instruction in familiar languages as a contributing factor. The document recommends teaching reading in a systematic way using age-appropriate texts in the child's mother tongue. It presents data from a school reading program that showed significant gains in reading fluency and comprehension for children who received mother tongue instruction.
Technical Presentation: Gender and Girls EducationUSAIDPCM
This document discusses gender equality in education, specifically focusing on girls' education in sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that while 52 million fewer girls are out of school compared to 2000, gender parity has not been achieved in primary and secondary education across sub-Saharan Africa. In Africa, 16.7 million girls remain out of school, with many never entering school. Rural girls and those in poverty face even greater challenges in both accessing and completing their education due to issues such as child marriage, early pregnancy, and sexual violence in schools. Recommendations to support girls' education in Uganda include ensuring education is truly free, addressing transitions between school levels, focusing on issues adolescent girls face, and empowering female teachers and education leaders
Technical Presentation: Child Development, Health, and NutritionUSAIDPCM
This document discusses making schooling more meaningful through early reading instruction in children's mother tongue. It notes low literacy achievement in Uganda and cites evidence that learning to read first in a familiar language improves reading abilities. The School Health and Reading Program showed gains where systematic mother tongue instruction was used, with students performing better on reading comprehension tests in both their native and second languages. The document argues the government should institutionalize these gains by training teachers, providing reading materials, and supporting early grade reading practices.
Presentation on the Situation of Uganda's ChildrenUSAIDPCM
One in every 19 Ugandan children is at risk of dying before their first birthday, and malnutrition is a hidden problem as children are moderately malnourished rather than extremely so. Only 26% of Ugandans aged 13-18 are enrolled in secondary school, meaning two-thirds of children do not attend. Nearly all Ugandan children are vulnerable, with 43% suffering from moderate vulnerability and 8% suffering from critical vulnerability.
National Forum on the State of the Ugandan ChildUSAIDPCM
- 20% of Ugandan females and 13% of males over age 6 have never had formal education, and only 12% complete secondary school. Child vulnerability rates are high.
- Health indicators show high rates of stunting, HIV, and adolescent pregnancy. The education system struggles with low literacy and high dropout rates.
- The Uganda Child Forum is a national movement to improve child wellbeing through coordinated action on education, health, and social protection, guided by data and aimed at reducing vulnerabilities, violence, and improving outcomes for girls. Illustrative targets include reducing stunting and teenage pregnancy by specific percentages by 2017.
State of the Ugandan Child Data Presentation_20150909USAIDPCM
- The document provides statistics on the population, social protection, health, education, and status of children in Uganda. It notes that 20% of the population is under 5, primary enrollment is 95.5%, and only 12% complete secondary school. Budgets for social protection, health, and education have been declining as a percentage of the national budget.
- Rates of child poverty, mortality, stunting, sexual abuse in schools, HIV prevalence, and teenage pregnancy are high. Factors negatively impacting girls include sexual violence, domestic responsibilities, and high vulnerability rates.
- The national child forum aims to improve well-being in education, health and social protection through an action plan and regional events. Target
