PARTNERSHIPS FOR BETTER EDUCATION IN UGANDA

Civil Society Organisation under the umbrella of Education Local  Expertise Center Uganda (ELEC-Uganda) at their review meeting held at Margharita Hotel, Lira recognised the need for teaching of local language in primary schools in order to promote holistic education for the children. The participants realised that mother tongue was the engine for any language acquisition. The participants were drawn from Rwenzori, Lango, and Teso sub regions.

Participants at the mid term review meeting shared the best practices used in their particular regions and resolved to apply ICT tools in their work after learning from RWECO/CFSU and LACCODEF experiences of the application of ICT in the implementation of activities. Ms. Connie from ELEC-Uganda appreciated the participants as they exhibited the highest cooperation since the meeting did not have a specific facilitator but all the participants contributed to the agenda.

As development partners there was concern to know each other and share information concerning the activities in the Education sector. In her closing remarks, Ms. Connie called upon the partners to map out stakeholders in the Education sector who would be of importance in promoting basic education since it was not possible for the program to provide everything. All together the participants pledged to work with the Government Institutions responsible for Education.

  1. Thank you Jimmy for this compilation. Indeed this was a wonderful review meeting. The spirit of information sharing was definitely evident and we believe that with such cooperation, all the clusters will be able to achieve their implementation goals. Let's keep this kind of cordial working relationship and the sky will be the limit.

    2. Opia and Sam, thanks for the comments, let us ensure that we keep the spirit high as we find best ways of sustainability. I believe, with the resident skills in the EPP/C4C family we can achieve much more than expected.
