Kampala: UNICEF;Straight Talk Foundation (2016), 32 pp.
"The intervention was designed to increase awareness about conflict drivers in education, strengthen youth competencies in peacebuilding and access to established community structures for conflict management, as well as promote collaborative partnerships around education in local communities. In all of these aspects the intervention has been found to be highly successful, and the C4D-informed strategy of intervention has been effective in cultivating change across a wide range of target segments. The study documents significant changes in key outcome and impact indicators for the program in 3 out of 20 target Districts. The consistency in findings across districts and triangulated data sources is seen as an indicator of reliability of the evidence and likely validity of the findings for the project as a whole. It is suggested that the intervention is replicated and scaled to enhance conflict management capabilities around education, foster gender-transformative norm changes in relation to education and strengthen relationships that benefit children’s’ educational experience."
