Education Response Plan for Refugees and Host Communities in Uganda

The purpose of the Education Response Plan for Refugees and Host Communities (“Education Response Plan”) is to set out a realistic and implementable plan to ensure improved learning outcomes for increasing numbers of refugee and host-community children and adolescents across Uganda. The timeframe for this Plan starts in January 2018 and runs to June 2021. In line with the Government of Uganda’s policy towards refugees, the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework and the Sustainable Development Goals, a core principle of the Education Response Plan is to ensure that all refugee children and adolescents as well as children within host communities have access to good quality education at all levels, irrespective of the country of origin of refugees and their location within Uganda. Some of the program's intiatives to ensure girls' education address Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), providing sanitary materials and training to keep 54,644 adolescent girls in school.
