F.a: Stregthening the quality of education in Uganda's education sector 1. Project: 11682 Strengthening the Quality of Education in Uganda Education Sector#2. Project area and Country: Lyantonde district, Uganda#3. Project justification: #A study by UWEZO 2016 shows that from P3-P7, only 3 out of 10 pupils could read and under
stand an English story. In rural areas, only 35% of the children achieved literacy and numeracy competencies. The study also found out that 39% of the teachers were consistently absent from school. The new Uganda Service Delivery Indicators (SDI)based on i
ndependent surveys of 5,300 teachers in 400 primary schools show that Ugandas schools still struggle with the quality of teaching. A key Uganda SDI finding was that only 1 in 5 teachers master the curriculum they teach. Unlike many new districts created un
der the decentralised framework, Lyantonde district still grapples with challenges, such as high levels of poverty, a high HIV+AIDS prevalence leading to high number of orphans and a poor capacity of the community structures. This has led to poor service d
elivery across all sectors and especially in education, denying many children in Lyantonde their right to quality education. #4. The main objective and expected results:#The main objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of citizens (parents, 
pupils and civil society organizations) to foster increased collaboration with duty bearers for improved quality of education in Lyantonde district. This will be accomplished through the promotion of child friendly school environments, building the capacit
y of parents and school/PTA management committees to effectively participate in and monitor the delivery of education services, and through the promotion of dialogue between the rights holders and duty bearers. The project will also work to strengthen the 
institutional capacity of RACOBAO to promote quality education. #5. Right-holders/ beneficiaries: 7418 children#Duty bearers: Lyantonde District Leadership (District Education Officer, Chief    Administrative Officer) and religious and opinion leaders #6.

F.a: Indentification, Documentation and Support to Burundian Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Screening of Burundian refugees in exile in Western Uganda (Nakivale refugee settlement) will allow earlier identification of experiences of violence and rights abuse. Timely referral of cases in need will enable survivors to access professional medical an
d psychosocial services for the recovery of physical and social functionality. Monitoring and follow-up of recovery will also include careful documentation of SGBV and other violations experienced in the country of origin, Burundi, during flight, and in ex
ile, as well as extension of counselling support to children and spouses of victims. The collection, analysis and archiving of survivor testimonies will support future judicial processes for accountability and delivering of justice to victims. Documentatio
n of survivor testimonies will provide information on demographic characteristics of survivors, the nature of torture, where and when it occurred. This information can also contribute towards facilitating dialogue and debate on the human rights violations 
that occurred. This information will also inform policy and programs formulation processes that can provide redress for the wrongs that occurred to the Burundian refugees. Legal aid will be provided in both civil and criminal matters and this shall be in t
he form of; basic legal advice and assistance, mediations, legal information concerning the law and various procedures, drafting of legal documents such as pleadings and supporting documents, representation before courts of law and other quasi-judicial ins
titutions. Burundian refugees will also receive human rights awareness raising and education through information sessions to ensure that they are aware of their rights and of the legal frameworks in Uganda. Issues that will be discussed during information 
sessions include rights of refugees, legal frameworks on SGBV, prevention and response, the role of different actors in dealing with SGBV, SGBV in forced migration: prevention and response mechanisms, climate change, and environment. www.refugeelawproject.

F.a: Programme Communications + Global Education - Ahtisaari Days CMI needs to communicate more in detail about its project work and its outcomes, when possible. Briefly, more emphasis should be put on illustrative and touching content. These features should be stressed also more when communicating about themes of confli
ct prevention and resolution in general. Partly, the need for better communication stems from the fact that the space for peace mediation is shrinking. Its critical time to defend and define peacemaking as an effective way of resolving conflicts, and as on
e of the leaders in its field CMI is well placed to do its share of the work. Within CMI it should be widely understood that the need for communication does not undermine our work. Furthermore, teaching dialogue and conflict resolution skills at schools is
 today becoming increasingly more relevant and global education has a bigger role in the Finnish school agenda.#Current trends highlight the need for greater emphasis on communication in every organisation. One of these trends is the democratisation of the
 media landscape, driven mainly by the growing importance of social media. Traditional mass media no longer controls the flow of information. Therefore, organisations need to communicate directly to their audiences, interact with them, strengthen their own
 communications channels. Social media on the other hand builds a sense of community, and nurturing it is important to any organisation wishing to build strong support for its work. The growing importance of organisations own communications equally highlig
hts the need to build our staffs communications capacity.#This project aims to strengthen our key audiences  the Finnish general public and decision makers, experts and conflict parties  knowledge, understanding and engagement in our work and with the broa
der peacemaking community. As part of this, the project seeks to: 1) Ensure that communication of our programme and its results is attractive to our audiences, 2) Support CMIs peace mediation work and priorities in a strategic manner, and 3) Increase organ
izational communications capacity both internally and externally. Moreover, CMI seeks to sensitize Finnish youth on the importance of conflict resolution through the Ahtisaari Days material and interaction with selected youth groups.
F.a: Capacity building of refugee civil society in refugee settlement and in urban Kampala Refugees are often marginalised, not recognised component of civil society of the host country and therefore often excluded from civil rights. Various refugee associations and informal community based groups of refugees seek to respond to the shared need f
or action for a common interest of refugees. The project strengthens the resilience capacities of beneficiary groups  especially selected refugee associations in Kampala and youth groups in Kampala and Nakivale, by improving their management skills and org
anisational capacity. The project arranges a practical training to selected refugee associations in Kampala on business planning to help them to select and put in practise income generating activity, and trains selected leaders from youth groups on manager
ial skills. Both trainings include mentoring and advisory services from the professional project staff. The beneficiaries are expected to enhance their ability to more effectively plan and implement the associations or youth group activities, and as a resu
lt provide better services to their members, who are mostly fellow refugees. The project aims to have two refugee associations staff included in the extensive Business training, and to train 20 youth leaders on leadership skills. The associations and youth
 groups worked with are also linked to other projects FRC is implementing in Uganda. The project is implemented by Finnish Refugee Council field staff apart from the Business training which is conducted in cooperation with Teach a Man to Fish

F.a: MEAL and Quality assurance The MEAL and quality assurance component aims to ensure we have a strong programme management system in place to enable us to deliver high quality results. To this end, Plan will make a significant investment into improving the M+E and knowledge management
 systems during the programme period. There is a need to strengthen the culture of Results Based Management, improve processes and understanding on indicators and methods for measuring change, and address the challenges in aggregating data at the programme
 level. Specifically, the quality assurance and MEAL components will allow us to capture the long-term effects of the programme on behavioral and gender transformative change and to have a robust evidence base to inform management decisions and overall lea
rning as well as reporting and communicating results. Directly this benefits Plan Country Offices and Programme Units and the implementing partner CSOs by strengthening the capacity in project management and M+E. The quality assurance and MEAL components w
ill be implemented by Plan Finland.
