Social Inclusion Analysis of Children Impacted by Discrimination and Inequality in Save the Children’s Sponsorship Program Impact Areas of Uganda

Drawing on the Theory of Change, this study sought to identify the causes and solutions related to social inclusion/ exclusion in the study settings (Wakiso district sub-Counties of Namayumba, Masulita, Gombe and Kakiri and two refugee settlements of Kyangwali and Rwamwanja) where the Baana programme is being implemented. The Baana (“child” in Luganda) supports evidence-based interventions in four core programs that aim to ensure children’s rights and access to a) quality basic education (Basic Education (BE) and Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD); b) improved health and nutrition (School Health and Nutrition (SHN); c) improved Adolescent Development (AD), including improved access to quality Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health services and improved livelihoods and d) with integrated work in Child Protection.
