This literature review explores current international and selected national policy on independent living arrangements and examines the evidence of good practice from existing independent living programmes for care leavers in order to assess how both of the above can be applied to street-connected children.
The Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) commissioned this assessment to assess the effectiveness of the CPWG, structural setup and work methods from 2012 to date in contributing to child protection systems strengthening in Uganda.
Although not conclusive or exhaustive, this agenda represents a bold attempt to identify and prioritise key areas/research themes stemming from the Situation Analysis (2015) and other available evidence on the status of children in Uganda.
This portfolio review of OVC programming in Uganda focuses on several priority issues, including: (1) targeting case management and referral mechanisms; (2) graduation; (3) links with HIV/AIDS care and treatment partners; and (4) overall coordination amongst implementing partners.
This technical advisory paper is prepared for the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development to guide the scope of the National Children Policy expected to replace the existing National Policy on Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Uganda which has been in existence for past 12 years.
This manual is intended to train Para-social workers who are a non-formal “workforce” that constitute the largest but yet undefined group of caregivers who provide support and services to vulnerable children and families, particularly in low and middle income countries (GSSA, 2016).
The focus of this manual is on translating theoretical knowledge about policies into practical actions to provide psychosocial support to orphans and vulnerable children.
This study explored the experiences of orphaned children who specifically take on the role of being both mother and father to their siblings.
This handbook is meant as a reference guide to enlighten grandparents and relative caregivers on resources and information that may be available to them and their family.
This podcast episode discusses the question: do child protection professionals have what they need to support and protect children as the coronavirus makes a comeback?
