From reflection to action!

Our second district-level gender capacity-strengthening cluster brought together LABE staff and district officials from Obongi and Adjumani to discuss how gender norms and inequalities shape experiences and opportunities in education and communities.

The engagement encouraged participants to look beyond recognising gender-related barriers and consider practical ways to address them through their respective roles.

With the school-level cascade training ahead, the focus is on taking these conversations further and supporting more inclusive learning environments.

Teachers are at the heart of every child’s learning journey.

As we reflect on World Teachers’ Day, we recognise the teachers and educators who nurture curiosity, build confidence and create inclusive spaces where children can learn, participate and thrive.

Their work goes beyond the classroom, strengthening foundational learning, supporting children’s development and helping shape stronger communities.

We celebrate their commitment and the difference they make every day.

Cluster 1 successfully completed!

LABE staff and district officials from Koboko, Yumbe, and Terego came together for a fruitful district-level gender capacity-strengthening training.

Participants reflected on gender concepts, stereotypes, and the ways in which attitudes and institutional practices can reinforce inequality. They also strengthened their practical skills in gender-transformative programming and prepared to cascade the training to schools in their respective districts.

We appreciate everyone for their active participation and Plan International Uganda for the technical support.

Strengthening Capacity for Quality Early Childhood Development

LABE has successfully concluded a three-day Training of Trainers (ToT) on Early Childhood Development (ECD) Theory, Pedagogy and Caregiver Support at St. John Bosco Core Primary Teachers' College, Lodonga, Yumbe District.

Facilitated by master trainers from the Ministry of Education and Sports Uganda (MoES) and an ECD practitioner, the training brought together LABE programme staff, Coordinating Centre Tutors (CCTs) from implementing districts, college tutors and administrators.

The training equipped participants with the technical knowledge, facilitation skills and coaching capacity needed to effectively train and mentor Parent Educators at Home Learning Centres (HLCs).

With this strengthened capacity, participants are better positioned to support Parent Educators in delivering quality early childhood development services and creating nurturing, inclusive and stimulating learning environments for young children.

By investing in those who train and support Parent Educators, we are strengthening the foundations for lifelong learning.

🎉 PlayMatters 3.0 officially launched in Yumbe District!

Last week, LABE joined district leaders, government officials, and partners at Yumbe District Headquarters to officially launch PlayMatters 3.0 - Sparking Lifelong Learning through Play (LTP).

Implemented in Yumbe District by LABE in partnership with Plan International Uganda, PlayMatters 3.0 promotes LtP as an active teaching and learning approach that enables children to learn through guided, hands-on, and meaningful play in safe and inclusive environments.

Through the project, children will have opportunities to build not only foundational learning skills, but also the confidence, resilience, and social-emotional skills they need to learn and thrive.

The launch brought together key stakeholders from the district leadership, education sector, Office of the Prime Minister, UNHCR, and other partners, who pledged their support towards successful implementation of the project.

PlayMatters 3.0 is implemented in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda by a consortium led by the International Rescue Committee, together with War Child International
and Plan International, with support from the UBS Optimus Foundation in partnership with The LEGO Foundation.

At LABE, we are excited to contribute our experience in community-based and intergenerational learning to help make learning more active, inclusive, and joyful for children in Yumbe.

Last week, LABE joined partners at the Two-Generation (2Gen) Learning Event hosted by Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) in Kampala.

Held under the theme “Measuring What Matters: Learning from Two-Generation Programming in Practice,” the event brought together government, development partners, and local and refugee-led organisations to reflect on practical experiences and lessons from strengthening Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) within 2Gen programming.

LABE’s MEL Manager, Kamya Edmund Kisenyi, joined Panel 2, “Turning Learning into Action: Learning Questions & MEL Planning,” alongside representatives from TPO Uganda and the African Youth Action Network - AYAN. The discussion explored how organisations can identify and prioritise meaningful learning questions and translate them into practical MEL plans that support programme learning and decision-making.

For LABE, the engagement offered another opportunity to reflect on our journey to strengthen MEL systems and ensure that evidence and learning continue to inform programme design, adaptation and implementation.

We appreciate IPA for convening this learning space and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation for supporting the 2Gen initiative.

As the new school term gets underway, our ongoing training of Home Learning Centre Management Committees (HLCMCs) is now taking place in Koboko and Yumbe.

As the governance and management structures of the HLCs, CMC members are strengthening their skills while deepening their understanding of their roles and responsibilities in sustaining the centres.

Strong community leadership helps build strong foundations for children’s learning.
