Description

Context

Iles de Paix in Uganda

Iles de Paix is a Belgian NGO founded in 1965 that specializes in supporting rural development. In the countries where it operates, in Africa and Latin America, Iles de Paix has opted to promote the agro-ecological approach as a means of improving the living conditions of small-scale producers and contributing to the emergence of sustainable food systems.

In Uganda, Iles de Paix has been working in the Rwenzori region since mid-2017. The MSFP+ (Mpanga Super Farmer +) programme currently underway is a cross between the "Feed Good" programmes funded by Belgian Cooperation (DGD 2022-2026) and the MSF+ programme funded by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MAEE) Luxembourg (2022-2024). The aim is to contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable food system and a healthy environment in and around the town of Fort Portal.

To support this transition, Iles de Paix is working over the long term with a range of stakeholders in the food system, such as farming families and groups, consumers, vendors, restaurants, local authorities, etc., along three complementary lines:

  • Support for families of small-scale producers so that they can improve, increase and diversify their production ;
  • Supporting farming families and organizations to improve their capacity to store, process and market their produce. This is accompanied by work to strengthen links between producers and consumers ;
  • Mobilising the authorities and raising consumer awareness of healthier, more sustainable food, so that they can take part in the agro-ecological transition in their region.

To achieve these objectives, Iles de Paix Uganda is working with three experienced local partner organizations: JESE (Joint Effort to Save the Environment), KRC (Kabarole Research & Resource Centre) and RCA (the Association of Rwenzori Community).

Iles de Paix and knowlegde sharing

Iles de Paix's mission is to promote development alternatives, and in particular to support the emergence of sustainable food systems. In this context, the NGO is developing a series of consolidation documents for its peers, focusing on smallholder farmer alternatives likely to contribute to the emergence of these sustainable food systems. The aim is also to highlight the concrete implications of putting agroecology principles into practice. Through this series of consolidation documents entitled "CAP Alternatives Paysannes", Iles de Paix presents the learnings resulting from its collaborations with smallholder farmer communities in search of development alternatives, and from its exchanges with other organizations active in the promotion of sustainable food systems. Iles de Paix highlights its successes, failures, questions and positions. “CAP Alternatives Paysannes” is therefore a collection that adopts a self-critical stance. The aim is not to praise the NGO's achievements, but to share promising experiences, observable results, lessons learned (positive and negative), points for attention and observed limitations. Since 2020, three issues of the "CAP" series have been published: Agroecological transition in Andean environments (Peru), Co-creation of knowledge in agroecology (Uganda) and Soil fertility management put to the test of reality (Burkina Faso). They are available free of charge on the association's website (https://www.ilesdepaix.org/sinformer/en-lectures/?category=cap-alternatives).

Integrating small-scale livestock farming in Uganda

In the three rural areas where work is ongoing (Karangura, Kabambiro and Kicwamba) in Uganda, Iles de Paix is supporting the agro-ecological transition of small-scale producers using the Integrated Farm Planning (IFP) methodology. This methodological approach is designed to create a favorable social environment to support the transition to sustainable family farming, i.e. farmers who are motivated and care about their land. At the heart of the methodology is the plan itself, consisting of a drawing of the farm's current situation and the desired situation. Developed by all the members of the family, according to their own aspirations and needs, it becomes a kind of 'business plan' for the family farm (see more details in the 2e issue of CAP, devoted to PIP and action research in Uganda). One of the basic principles of this approach is integration, i.e. adding new farming practices/activities and optimizing their interactions, making the farm more systemic, diversified and resilient, in line with the principles of agroecology (for example, planting shrubs to provide fodder for livestock and play an anti-erosion role, or providing manure for crops through the livestock system).

For several years now, integrated farm planning has been helping to create a new dynamic among the families supported by Iles de Paix in Uganda. Even though we aim to support an individual approach, we find common objectives. For almost all farming families, integrating small-scale livestock farming into their productive activities is seen as one of the key pathways in their progress.  Our current experience also confirms this to be a very powerful catalyst for supporting the agro-ecological transition. As well as providing families with animal protein to incorporate into their meals, small-scale livestock farming is a very important source of organic matter for maintaining soil fertility. This supports efforts to diversify production, with the introduction of kitchen gardens and associated crops. Finally, we tend to conclude that this tangible support, in the early program stages, brings an ideal basis for trust building and mutual motivation.

Therefore, we wish to document this experience in a consolidation document, which would join the "CAP Alternatives paysannes" series.

Methodology

The consolidation document will aim to answer the following question : What is the added value of integrating small-scale livestock farming into agroecological production activities ? (reference to CAP No. 2 and the principles of "1. recycling", "3. soil health" and "6. Synergies" of agroecology).

This main question can lead to various sub-questions, such as :

  • How do these different farming activities (kitchen gardening, agroforestry, small-scale livestock, etc.) reinforce each other?
  • What techniques are being used that have proved their worth (for example, building animal shelters, collecting and using organic matter, etc.)?
  • What are the concrete impacts on families (in terms of finance, nutrition, resilience, etc.) ?
  • How can the sustainability and adoption of this approach be ensured?
  • Etc.

To answer these questions and produce the consolidation document, field visits to -and discussions with - families who have benefited from the Iles de Paix programme and its partners are necessary.

Iles de Paix expects the person who will write the publication to base it on factual data as well as on more qualitative data, linked to the feelings and experience of the players and beneficiaries. To do this, the consultant will have to meet and interview various stakeholders:

  • The Iles de Paix teams: country director, programme manager, head office support team (UPAS).
  • The partner teams (JESE and RCA) responsible for implementing the programme with the beneficiary families.
  • A sample of farmers supported by the programme.
  • Local authority representatives. As proposed by IDP

Various internal documents will also be shared with the consultant, including: the technical and financial documents (DTF) for the 2 programmes in progress, the half-yearly and annual reports from Iles de Paix and its partners, data from the monitoring and evaluation system, reports on professional visits by head office staff in Uganda, the 3 CAP Alternatives paysannes already published, etc.

The expectations of the consultant are as follows:

  • Supervision and support for Iles de Paix Uganda teams in the collection of certain data;
  • Leading a workshop with the main project stakeholders to present the approach and organize visits and interviews;
  • Field visits to collect data through observations and interviews with farming families, management teams and external observers;
  • Documentary research and/or interviews with resource persons;
  • Consultation with the Iles de Paix team at head office and in Uganda, responsible for guiding and reviewing the document.
  • Writing the consolidation document in the same format as previous issues of the CAP Alternatives paysannes series (around 25 pages after final layout);
  • Suggestions for sketches/diagrams and illustrations based on photos taken during information gathering to illustrate certain points (layout by a graphics agency).
  • Optional: deliver a French version of the consolidation document, after approval of IDP.

To preserve the graphic style of the Iles de Paix consolidation documents, the writing will be done in close collaboration with the person in charge of monitoring Uganda at head office, according to terms to be agreed between the two parties. Graphic design and printing will be carried out by Iles de Paix, which will call on the services of a company specialising in this field.

Agenda

The document should be published by the end of 2024. Depending on the availability of the consultant and the teams in Uganda, the field visits could take place between September and October 2024.

We are counting on a total of approximately 30 working days, broken down as follows (for guidance only):

  • 2 days of preparation.
  • 10 days of field work (Field visits around Fort Portal to collect data through observations and interviews with farming families, management teams and other resource persons).
  • 2 days to draw up the structure of the brief (outline of the brief with the key ideas to be developed).
  • 10 days to draw up a first version of the dossier (including proposals for illustrations based on photos taken during information gathering).
  • 4 days for the 2e version of the document.
  • 2 days for the final version of the document.

Description

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.

CONTEXT

With the start of the new programme in Uganda, the finance team (about 40 staff) is also reorganizing itself as a “support circle” in order to efficiently assist the projects in carrying out their activities. This implies different changes:

  • Certain processes will be centralized at the Kampala representation
  • Increased efforts will be made to streamline, harmonize, digitalize, and simplify our processes
  • Roll-out of collaborative governance practices throughout the “support circle”.

YOUR ROLE

  • You will be part of the larger finance team and provide transversal support to all Enabel projects in Uganda, thereby contributing to Enabel achieving its development results in skilling (pillar 1) and health care and education (pillar 2). 
  • The role of the JE is to support the Enabel Uganda finance teams in designing and implementing change projects aimed at streamlining, simplifying and digitalizing the work processes, so that they can efficiently and effectively assist the projects in achieving their development results.

PROVISION OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION TECHNICAL SUPPORT & CAPACITY BUILDING TO THE UGANDA EDUCATION CONSORTIUM

  1. INnovative and inCLUsive accelerated eDucation programmE for refugee and host community children (INCLUDE) project Phase III 
  2. Multi Year Resilience Programme (MYRP) II project 
  3. First Emergency Response (FER) project

All implemented by the Uganda Education Consortium where HI is a member, providing disability inclusion and inclusive education technical support

 

 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).
