The NSPPI provides overall guidance to implementers to mitigate the impact of orphanhood and other vulnerabilities among children in Uganda. The overall goal of the NSPPI for Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Uganda is to increase the scale of effective programme interventions that reach vulnerable children, either directly or through the households in which they live, by 2010. The NSPPI builds upon existing policies and programmes and is a vehicle for implementing the Social Development Sector Investment Plan (SDIP) and the NOP.
The vision of the NSPPI is a society where all orphans and other vulnerable children live to their full potential and their rights and aspirations are fulfilled. The mission of the NSPPI is to provide a framework for the enjoyment of rights and fulfillment of responsibilities of orphans and other vulnerable children. The NSPPI document is organized into ten chapters that provide:
- A brief introduction of the NSSPI and its linkages with national and social development sector planning instruments.
- An analysis of the situation of orphans, other vulnerable children and caregivers with respect to the socio-economic context, existing services and interventions as well as the legal and policy frameworks.
- A definition of the target groups and the causes of orphan hood and vulnerability in Uganda
- The vision, mission, values and principles, which will guide the interventions
- Outline of the overall goal, strategic programme plan objectives and core programme areas for interventions.
- Strategies that are key to the implementation of interventions and criteria for selecting target groups.
- Outline of the interventions and activities for each core programme area.
- The implementation framework with the MGLSD as the lead agency.
