Skills for Peace: Strengthening peacebuilding competencies among youth in Uganda, UNICEF, 2016

This case study critically examines the peacebuilding impact of a UNICEF-BRAC adolescent/youth development intervention in Karamoja implemented in 2015 under the Learning for Peace programme. The intervention aimed to increase capacity of parents (M/F), children (M/F), youth and community members to prevent, reduce and cope with conflict and promote peace. The intervention was developed as a response to prevalent negative perceptions of adolescents and youth that fuel inter-generational conflict and have led to a feeling of exclusion and marginalization of Karamoja’s young.

The project has been under study using a mixed method approach, combining quantitative baseline and end-line surveys, pre-and post knowledge tests and participatory assessment of change processes, which has taken place from the beginning of the project in June 2015 to the end of the project period in May 2016.
