CONTEXT:

War Child Canada (WCC) and Oxfam Canada (OCA) in partnership with six community-based organizations in South Sudan and Uganda will be implementing the $13.8m Global Affairs Canada (GAC) funded project “Geared for Success (GFS)’ – Internally Displaced Persons (IDP)-led and Refugee-led organizations driving education in Uganda and South Sudan.

War Child Canada, Oxfam Canada, and our partners will implement the gender-responsive project in South Sudan and Uganda and a public engagement component in Canada. Although GFS will directly reach people in Canada, the ultimate project participants are students/learners in Uganda and South Sudan.

The project uses the Canadian Government’s Results-Based Management (RBM) approach to assess project progress and achievements. 

CBOs are on the front lines of providing essential education services for refugees and IDPs and to ensure that CBOs are ‘geared for success’, this project will facilitate and provide technical and financial resources to strengthen their capacity -with more women’s leadership and community support, allowing them to enable access to education and to successfully advocate for the right to education for ultimate project participants. GFS will also strengthen Canadians’ (including diaspora) contribution to education for refugees/IDPs and to the ‘Together for Learning’ Campaign and will advance the evidence base on the role of CBOs enhancing gender-responsive quality education for refugees and IDPs.

PROJECT AIM:

Enhanced equitable and inclusive learning outcomes for ‘refugee, internally displaced and host community children and youth, particularly girls and adolescent girls’ in the districts of Yumbe, Terego and Obongi in Uganda and Wau, Malakal and Awerial in South Sudan
