Promoting Inclusive Education for Disabled Children in Uganda Using a 'Child-to-Child' Approach (360G-CR-1318761)

Up to 98% of disabled children in Africa are out of school; this project aims to address this imbalance through high quality inclusive education for disabled children, with directed attention to disabled girls. Despite rights enshrined in international legislation, meaningful child participation is rare.This project, based in three districts of northern Uganda, will use an innovative child-to-child approach, supporting all children to understand, discuss and take action on issues that impact their lives and protect themselves from harm. It will also work through parent support groups, in twenty five schools, nine of which have been the focus of a successful three year pilot project.
