Promoting Inclusive Education for Disabled Children in Uganda Using a 'Child-to-Child' Approach

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 children with disabilities, paying particular attention to girls. Despite rights enshrined in international legislation, meaningful child participation in education is rare. Promoting Inclusive Education for Disabled Children in Uganda Using a 'Child-to-Child' Approach is based in three districts of northern Uganda and uses an innovative child-to-child methodology, supporting all children to understand, discuss and take action on issues that impact their lives and protect themselves from harm. It also works through parent support groups in schools, nine of which have been the focus of a successful three year pilot project.
