TERMS OF REFERENCE
Consultancy service to conduct Gap Analysis Study on the inclusion of Children with Disabilities in the legal framework to support an enabling policy for Nurturing Care in Uganda

BACKGROUND
About Humanity & Inclusion (HI)
Handicap International (Humanity & Inclusion) is an international non-profit organisation, implementing humanitarian and development actions in over sixty countries. In Uganda, we work to identify and support those with specific needs and ensure the meaningful inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers. We assist vulnerable populations from both host and refugee communities by providing physical rehabilitation, mental health, and psychosocial support, inclusive education, health, and livelihoods. We work in partnership with Disabled Peoples Organisations (DPOs), communities, local leaders, non-governmental organisations, the United Nations, and the Ugandan government.
Context
In response to the absence of tailored care during childhood, which hinders their ability to reach their full potential, Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is implementing a 5-year project (2022-2026) called the Child-Centered Holistic Approach to a Nurturing Care Enabling Environment (CHANCE) in the Imvepi and Rhino Camp settlements within Terego district. This project aims to enhance the development and overall quality of life for children aged 0-12 years by promptly identifying and intervening with children with disabilities and those at risk of developmental delays.
Result area 5 of the CHANCE project focuses on facilitating the implementation of supportive policies for nurturing care in Uganda that are aligned with national laws, policies, and action plans. However, the current enabling legal framework lacks the necessary implementation capacities due to budget constraints or the absence of adapted instruments. Consequently, there is limited data on Nurturing Care (NC) within the settlements. To address this gap, the project has developed indicators based on existing projects, prevailing trends, and quality standards.
Recognizing the need for an inclusive policy framework for children with disabilities, a gap analysis study will be conducted. This study will facilitate robust learning processes while involving local authorities in aligning national plans with their local action plans.
Humanity & Inclusion is thus seeking the services of a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the legal framework concerning the inclusion of children with disabilities in Uganda. The aim is to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of existing laws, policies, and regulations in promoting the rights and inclusion of children with disabilities in various sectors such as education, health, social protection, and other relevant areas.

 Humanity & Inclusion, Uganda

 

1. CONTEXT

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an international non-profit organisation, implementing humanitarian and development actions in over sixty countries. Co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, Humanity & Inclusion is a 40-year-old independent and impartial organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. 

In Uganda, HI works to identify and support those with specific needs and ensure the meaningful inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers. HI Uganda is currently implementing development and humanitarian interventions in six sectors/thematic areas: Livelihood, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, Physical and Functional Rehabilitation, Inclusive Education, Inclusive Health, and Inclusive Humanitarian Action.

Education projects being implemented by the Uganda Education Consortium

Uganda hosts 1,521,424 refugees (UNCHR February 2023). Gross enrolment of children in pre-primary, primary and secondary education remains low at 53%, ranging from 43% for pre-primary, 91% for primary and only 10% for secondary (UNHCR, Education Dashboard Term 3 2022). Among the total enrolment of 507,957 (refugees and nationals), children with disabilities are 17,139, representing 3.37%. This figure is low considering that in Uganda, 13.6% of persons aged 5 years and above have functional difficulties[1], globally, about 16% of the population experiences disability at some point in their life.[2] 

Concerning education for children in refugee hosting districts (both refugee and non-refugee children), the Education Response Plan for Refugees and Host-Communities (ERP) II and the Multi-Year Resilience Programme (MYRP) linked to the ERP II emphasize the importance of improved access and retention to inclusive learning and training opportunities for all, including children with disabilities.

The Uganda Education Consortium (U-EC) led by Save the Children (SCI) is implementing the following projects, contributing to the implementation of ERP II and MYRP II.

• INCLUDE 3 funded by the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO),
• MYRP 2 funded by the Education Cannot Wait (ECW), and
• First Emergency Response (FER) funded by ECW.

The Consortium will enable conflict-affected children (refugees/host communities, boys/girls, children with disabilities and out-of-school children) to access safe and inclusive formal and non-formal learning opportunities and supports them to attend and remain in school (Result 1). Learners enrolled in formal and non-formal education (including AEP) will be supported by teachers with improved competencies and demonstrate improved learning outcomes (Result 2). District Local Government and School Leadership and Management capacities in the target communities will be strengthened to support better and supervise safe and inclusive learning environments that generate improved learning outcomes (Result 3).
