Non-Formal Education and Livelihood Skills for Marginalised Street and Slum Youth in Uganda. Project Report
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
The Building Capacities for Non formal Education and Life Skills Programmes project in Uganda was implemented by Uganda Youth Development Link (UYDEL) with financial and technical support from UNESCO--Section for Literacy and non Formal Education in 2004-05; aiming at assisting vulnerable and marginalised youth affected by HIV/AIDS and other risk behaviour, those that may be homeless or living in hopeless situation both in urban centres and rural areas. The project started in April 2004 has passed through many processes before reaching the stage of placing children with local artisans to evaluate its impact. Goals and objectives of the programme include: (1) To determine the learning needs, marketable skills and innovative livelihood practices of marginalized youth in selected urban and rural areas; (2) To identify and facilitate placement of 200 marginalized youth in livelihood best practices; (3) To disseminate best practices and promote innovative and marketable livelihood skills for marginalized youth; (4) To integrate HIV AIDS messages and life skills in the training of marginalized youth in selected rural and urban areas; (5) To develop monitoring and evaluation indicators and tools to facilitate measurement of progress; and (6) To achieve micro programmes aimed to train final beneficiaries in entrepreneurial skills and related functional literacy and non-formal education. This report provides in-depth descriptions of how each of these goals and objectives have been carried out and presents a section on the integration of HIV/AIDS in livelihood skills; and a program results analysis matrix. Appended are: (1) UYDEL Intake Form; (2) Map of Uganda; and (3) Identification and Assessment of Intake Forms of Youth Served. (Contains 22 tables.)
