’Education for Life’ in South Sudan and Uganda was a four-year project implemented by Oxfam and partners (2019 - 2023) under the European Union programme titled ‘Building Resilience in Crisis through Education’ (BRiCE). Danida co-funded the project.

Through provision of Accelerated Education (AE), BRiCE supported out of school children and young people, not least girls, and displaced learners, in Uganda and South Sudan pursue their educational dreams. Placed in the nexus and designed with a strong focus on gender, teacher professional development and advocacy, the project not only provided a voice for displaced learners’ right to education but also strengthened systems for teachers’ professional development and AE and improved access and quality of primary level education.

The lessons from this project have indicated that education is not only empowering but also lifesaving, providing stability, hope and a sense of normalcy.
