1 INTRODUCTION
Buikwe District Local Government is one of the 127 districts in Uganda and was established in
2009 when Mukono was split up into three independent districts. The Project, “Buikwe-ICEIDA
Development Partnership - Education Development in Fishing Communities 2016-2019”
(hereinafter referred to as BDFCDP EDU-I or EDU-I) under the “Support to the Implementation
of Buikwe District Fishing Community Development Programme (BDFCDP)” supported by the
Government of Icelandic (GoI) was launched in 2016 and will be completed by end of 2019.
EDU-I targeted, among others, 28 primary schools and four secondary schools serving the
fishing communities in the sub-counties of Najja, Ngogwe, Nyenga and Ssi-Bukunja. Following
a request from, Buikwe District Local Government, the partners have agreed to extend the
development interventions to remaining eligible primary schools serving the fishing
communities and meeting set selection criteria. This document describes in detail the
interventions, implementation plans, and budget planned for BDFCDP EDU-II.
1.1 MANDATE
The project, “Buikwe-ICEIDA development partnership – Education Development in Fishing
Communities 2019-2022 – Phase II (BDFCDP EDU-II or EDU-II)” draws its mandate from the
existing partnership agreement between the Government of Iceland (GoI) and the
Government of Uganda (GoU) with its Buikwe District Local Government (BDLG) for the
“Support to the Implementation of Buikwe Fishing Community Development Programme
(BDFCDP) - 2014-2019”2. The project is aligned to the ICEIDA (2014) Uganda Country Strategy
Paper, 2014-2019.
EDU-II links to three current development projects implemented in the fishing communities
of Najja, Ngogwe, Nyenga and Ssi-Bukunja sub-counties of Buikwe district with support from
GoI under the BDFCDP. The three projects are:
1) Buikwe-ICEIDA Development Partnership - WASH Development in Fishing
Communities 2015-2017 (BDFCDP WASH-I), originally planned to be completed by end
of 2017 but later extended to end of 2019;
2) Buikwe-ICEIDA development partnership – Education Development in Fishing
Communities 2016-2019 (BDFCDP EDU-I) and
3) Buikwe-ICEIDA Development Partnership - WASH Development in Fishing
Communities 2018-2019 (BDFCDP WASH-II).
EDU-I has successfully supported a package of education quality improvement interventions
in 28 primary schools and four secondary schools. The BDFCDP WASH-I and II projects have
furthermore facilitated improvements in the education environment for learners in the
targeted fishing villages through construction of 71 VIP latrines with separated stances for
boys and girls in 51 schools, hygiene promotion and education in both communities and
schools, and provision of safe water for the fishing communities that also benefits the schools.
2 The timeframe of the current BDFCDP partnership agreement is for the period (2014-2019). It is expected to be reviewed and extended during 2019.

1.2 LINKS TO PARTNERS’ STRATEGIES AND COOPERATION AGREEMENTS
The partners’ strategies, policies and priorities elaborated in the project document for EDU-I
equally apply to EDU-II, with modifications, considering recent and expected policy and
strategy changes as specified below:
• Iceland’s Strategy for International Development Cooperation: The new “Strategy for
Iceland’s International Development Cooperation 2019-2023” maintains Uganda as a partner
country with the focus of operation at sub-national (district) level. The priority areas of
support include social infrastructure (education, health and water and sanitation). The
strategy puts into account the UN sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has an added
emphasis on human rights, gender equality and environment sustainability as both specific
and crosscutting issues.
• ICEIDA’s Country Strategy Paper for Uganda (CSP): The ICEIDA (2014) Uganda Country
Strategy Paper 2014-2019 (CSP) continues to be the main policy instrument guiding the
implementation of Iceland’s International Development Cooperation in Uganda up to the end
of 2019. A new CSP is expected to be developed before end of year 2019, intertwining the
partners’ strategies and priorities.
• The Partnership Agreement: The partnership agreement, which establishes the BDFCDP, was
signed in October 2014 between the Government of Uganda, and the Government of Iceland
is valid up to the end of 2019. It states that operationalization of the programme will be
described in detail in subsequent project document(s) jointly developed and approved by
parties. The partnership agreement is valid to end of 2019 and is expected to be extended
and aligned to the new CSP for 2020-2023.
• Uganda’s Development Strategies and Priorities: The Comprehensive National Development
Planning Framework Policy adopted in 2007 will continue to guide the medium and long-term
development planning in Uganda. The second National Development Plan (NDP-II) 2015/16-
2019/20, Education Sector and Sports Sector Strategic Plan 2017/18-2019/20, and Buikwe
Local Government Development Plans 2015/16-2019/20 (District Development Plan, District
Strategy for Fishing Community Development, and District Education Sector Strategy for
Fishing Community Development) will remain valid up to June 2020. From July 2020 the third
National Development Plan (NDP III) 2020/21-2024/25 will be operational. Similarly, the
Education Sector Strategic Plan and the Local Government Development Plans aligned to the
NDP-III will be in operation. Nevertheless, the Education sector, with emphasis on basic
education, will continue to be a national priority in line with Uganda Vision 2040 and
commitments to the SDGs. The sector will continue to emphasise quality education in line
with the sector vision- “Quality Education and Sports for All”; and sector mission statement:
“To provide for, support, guide, coordinate, regulate and promote delivery of quality
Education and Sports for all persons in Uganda; for national integration, individual,
and national development”.
10
The Strategic objectives for the education sector in Buikwe district will therefore continue to
focus on the key areas detailed in Table 1:
TABLE 1: BUIKWE DISTRICT: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES FOR THE EDUCATION SECTOR IN FISHING COMMUNITIES
1.3 PROJECT PREPARATION PROCESS
The project preparation process for the EDU-I involved a comprehensive situation analysis and
participatory planning approaches, which generated consensus on the immediate objective of
the project: “Improving the quality of basic education in schools serving fishing communities”.
The objectives are still relevant and will equally apply to EDU-II.
Further consultations were made by partners at the BDFCDP Steering Committee (PSC) level,
where the memo presented by Buikwe District Local Government on the priority needs to be
addressed, was discussed and approved. The proposed priority needs were to develop
education facilities and services in remaining eligible primary schools serving fishing
communities and to consider option of support to BTVET institutions in the district. Following
the approval of the PSC, technical verification and update of relevant statistics and data was
jointly undertaken by the partners to establish the basis for evidence-based selection of
eligible schools and on the interventions required for each school.
2 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Background information compiled and justification for intervention developed during the
preparation of BDFCDP EDU-I are still valid and do apply to EDU-II, with some modifications
based on updated data and information and considering lessons learned from the
implementation of EDU-I.

2.1 UGANDA’S SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT
Uganda is still ranked among the world’s least developed countries, with a human
development index (HDI) of 0.515 ranking number 162 out of 189 countries in 2017 (UNDP,
2018)3. The population and housing census (2014) put Uganda’s population at 34.6 million
people and mid-year 2017 population projection is estimated at 38 million. The annual
population growth rate is around 3%4, which is among the highest in the world. About 55% of
Ugandans are under 18 years, and each year close to one million young Ugandans reach school
age and need access to education. The huge and growing young population underscores the
importance and urgency to focus on early year development and primary education and the
impact of Uganda’s achievements in the education sector is expected to have a major
influence on the progress of the nation in future.
2.2 NATIONAL EDUCATION SECTOR CONTEXT
The structure of the Education sector. The education sector in Uganda has remained un-
changed for a long period of time. It is composed of the following subsectors:
(i) pre-primary education of three years for 3-5-year old children, and primary education of seven years for children of age 6-12 years,
(ii) Secondary education for six years, divided into the lower secondary or ordinary level (O-level) of four years (S1-S4) for 13-16-year-old learners and the higher secondary or advanced level (A-level of two years (S5-S6) for 17-18-year-old learners,
(iii) Business, technical and vocation education and training (BTVET) at post-primary and post-ordinary level
(iv) Teachers and instructors training,
(v) Higher education and
(vi) Physical education and sports.
Uganda Vision 2040 prioritises provision of basic education (primary and lower secondary
education) as human right for all children, as well as skills development.
Progress in Education: As illustrated in table 2 below, Uganda has registered progress in
increasing access to Universal Primary Education (UPE) and opened opportunities for access
to other levels of education through policy initiatives such as Universal Secondary Education
(USE), Universal Post Primary Education and Training (UPPET) and Universal Post Ordinary
Level Education and Training (UPOLET). At the same time gender parity in terms of access has
been achieved in primary education:

Challenges in Education Sector: Despite the substantial increase in equitable access to UPE,
USE and UPPET and UPOLET, the education sector in Uganda still faces considerable
challenges. Among the main challenges is delivery of quality education where children acquire
basic literacy, numeracy and life skills that will support them through a healthy and productive
life. At the same time disadvantaged children remain excluded from schools because of
location, gender, disability, poverty and violence. The various challenges facing education in
Uganda manifest in high dropout rates and low levels of completion of education; poor learner
attainment in literacy, numeracy and life skills; low performance in primary leaving
examinations (PLE); low transition from primary to secondary education and BTVET, and
transition to secondary education and BTVET. The key challenges are highlighted in table 3.

2.3 BUIKWE DISTRICT EDUCATION SECTOR CONTEXT
Buikwe district has 542 primary schools (162 government aided, and 380 private primary
schools), 80 secondary schools (8 are government aided and 72 are private schools, with 22
implementing USE under public-private-partnership), one primary teachers’ college, two
nursing schools and six BTVET institutions (four registered and two un-registered). The four
sub-counties of Najja, Ngogwe, Nyenga and Ssi-Bukunja that constitute the fishing
communities in Buikwe district have a total of 198 primary schools out 542 in the whole
district, of which 62 are government-aided and 136 private schools. There are 20 secondary
schools in the four sub counties out of a total of 80 for the district, of which four are
government aided and 16 private schools.
Despite its strategic location in the relatively developed central region of Uganda and the
support received from Iceland and other development partners, the district still faces
challenges of low access and equity and low quality of basic education. The challenges are
considerable in the fishing communities, especially regarding quality of learning outcomes,
teaching and learning materials, and school infrastructure and facilities.
2.4 PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED IN BUIKWE EDUCATION SECTOR IN FISHING COMMUNITIES
The situation/problem analysis carried out during the preparation of EDU-I identified several
causes that affected the quality of basic education available in Buikwe fishing communities in
a negative way. These constraints demonstrated in figure 1. below, remain relevant and
applicable and will be the focus of EDU-II.

EDU-II will focus on quality improvement in primary schools, both lower (P1-4) and upper
grades (P5-7), promote transition of learners from primary to secondary education and
improved quality of lower secondary education (S1-4) or equivalent BTVET. The aim is to
extend the school life of learners in the vulnerable age of 13-16 years and increase the number
of children that complete basic education and acquire basic skills preparing them for self-
employment, the job market or further lifelong learning. EDU-II will furthermore promote
BTVET as an alternative education pathway to follow basic education, which was not an
element of EDU-I.
2.5 PROJECT STRATEGY
The overall strategy of EDU-I will apply to EDU-II with some modifications considering lessons
learned from the implementation of the former. Basic support5 as outlined in EDU-I will be
completely abandoned under EDU-II and all selected schools will receive what is defined as
Extensive support under EDU-I. This strategic approach is expected to deliver more positive
results in the short and medium term and maximize return on investment6, and is in line with
the shift to emphasis on quality of education by GoU and various development partners
(EDPs). The extensive support will deliver a comprehensive package of quality enhancement
interventions with a focus on five pillars for education improvement of quality of education.
Some modifications have been made to the intervention package based on lessons learned
during the implementation of EDU-I:
Pillar 1. School Infrastructure and Facilities Developed: The priority will be on construction of
new infrastructure, including classrooms, teacher houses, school kitchens, sanitation
facilities and other structures and facilities based on needs assessment as well as
provision of teaching and learning materials, including equipment and materials for co-
curricular activities. The lessons learned from renovation of existing school structures
under EDU-I has shown that it is usually relatively more costly than replacing the
structures with new constructions. EDU-II will thus only support renovation of “old”
school infrastructure in exception cases where it is financially justified.
Pillar 2. Pillar II: Education Sector Management: Most of the capacity requirements, especially
at local government level, were addressed by EDU-I. EDU-II will therefore focus on
Monitoring of Learners Achievements (MLA) extending to the new selected schools and
filling some capacity gaps if any.
Pillar 3. Pillar III: Quality of Teaching and Professional Leadership in Schools: Focus will be on
developing the capacity for quality teaching and professional school leadership in line
with the Education Sector Training Plan developed under EDU-I.
Pillar 4. Pillar IV: Community Participation: The community mobilisation and sensitisation
component will be extended to the 20 new parishes targeting the community
engagement and capacity development of school governance bodies such as PTA’s,
SMC’s and BoGs of schools.
5 Basic support is extensive support less infrastructure development 6 World Bank 2004: http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTDEBTDEPT/Resources/468980-1170954447788/3430000-1273248341332/20100426_16.pdf
15
Pillar 5. Pillar V: The Learners: Based on lessons learned from EDU-I, direct support to learners
will be limited to fostering equal opportunities for boys and girls, particularly in
secondary schools. This will include menstrual cycle management, promotion of school-
based health programmes, support of health promotion through school health clubs,
deworming campaigns, reproductive health education and sensitisation on school
feeding programmes.
2.8 TARGET AREA AND SELECTION OF TARGET SCHOOLS
Selection of Primary Schools: The target population of EDU-II is the fishing community in
Buikwe in the four sub-counties of Najja, Ngogwe, Nyenga and Ssi-Bukunja.
Criteria for selection of schools: Buikwe District Local Government presented a list of 66
government aided or community schools under Universal Primary Education (UPE) serving the
fishing villages to the PSC on 22nd January 2019. Primary schools to be supported through ED-
II will be selected from this list, excluding 21 schools that have already been developed
through EDU-I, schools that are receiving similar support from other sources and those not
complying with the following specific selection criteria:
1. Selected schools are licensed and registered GoU aided - or community school under universal primary education (UPE).
2. Each selected school has total enrolment of at least 300 learners in 2018/19 school year.
3. At least one primary school will be selected from each of the targeted 20 parishes
Selected schools: Out of the 66 eligible primary schools serving the fishing community of
Buikwe district, 21 have already received extensive support and been developed to the
desired level through EDU-I. Of the remaining 45 schools, 21 schools, 5 in Najja, 8 in Ngogwe,
5 in Nyenga and 3 in Ssi-Bukunja, meet both criteria and are selected for extensive support
through EDU-II. Details are shown in table 4.

Source of information: BDLG Planning Unit, 2018 (enrolment) & BDFCDP EDU-I Reports
The 21 schools selected for development support through BDFCDP EDU-II had 8.311 enrolled
learners in 2018. On completion, EDU-I and EDU-II will have provided extensive development
support to 42 out of 66 government aided and community schools under UPE primary schools
serving the fishing community in Buikwe district, and 72% (19.328 out of 26.957) of enrolled
learners from the fishing community will have access to improved education services.
Business, Technical and Vocational Education Training (BTVET). BTVET is a part of the formal
forward pathway for basic education available to learners that have completed both Primary
Leaving Examinations and the Uganda Certificate of Education (S.4). Through BTVET, learners
can learn practical skills that offer employment opportunities, in case the learner is not
pursuing higher education at University level. There is a shortage of people with technical
training and skills in Uganda and focus on skills training in the education system both offer
opportunities to people to get out of poverty as well as meet the country’s need for technically
skilled people. Individual with practical technical skills can increase productivity and raise their
income levels, thereby contributing towards expansion and growth in the national economy.
The GoU has technical training and skills development as a priority in the current education
policy.
In line with the national policy Buikwe district is focused on addressing the shortage of
employment opportunities for the youth in the district and creating more opportunities for
employment through technical and vocational training. EDU-II will explore possible avenues
for strengthening BTVET in the district with emphasis on the youth from fishing communities.
In Buikwe district there is one Government owned, one Government aided and two private
BTVET institutions currently with a total enrolment of 2.156 learners in 2018. The details of
the BTVET Institutions are shown in Table 5. And the available curriculum in these institutions
is shown in Table 6.

With support from EDU-II, studies will be carried out to better understand the opportunities
and need for BTVET training with specific reference to fishing communities as well as required
development support needed for the BTVET institutions to be able to deliver useful quality
vocational training:
1. Conduct a situation analysis of the BTVET institutions that are eligible for government
support and thereafter develop an evidence-based needs assessment for the institutions.
2. Develop a BTVET improvement plan for Buikwe district addressing identified needs in line
with strategic objectives from “Skilling Uganda - BTVET Strategic Plan 2012/3 to 2021/2”
and “Buikwe District Education SDP – 2016-2020”, including increasing the quality of
skills provision in BTVET institution and equitable access to skills development.
3. Implement the plan.
2.9 CROSS CUTTING ISSUES
The findings of analysis of crosscutting issues under EDU-I will apply to EDU-II with enhanced
emphasis on human rights, gender equality and environmental sustainability, both specifically
19
and as cross-cutting issues, in line with the strategy for Iceland’s international development
cooperation. Gender and environmental issues were comprehensively analysed and
addressed in EDU-I project and are also well covered in the Local Government Performance
Assessment criteria under the social and environment safeguards performance measure for
key sectors including the education sector. On the other hand, Uganda Vision 2040 commits
government to ensure:
“…. that the human rights-based approach to development is integrated in policies,
legislation, plans and programs, and to strengthen the capacity of the duty bearers
to respect, fulfil and protect human rights and that of the rights holders to know,
claim and realize their rights. “
A human rights-based approach planning tool for sectors and local governments was
developed in October 2016 to guide the process. Key human rights issues identified for the
education sector and to be addressed by the project include the following:
• High drop-out rate especially for girls that infringe on the right to education throughout all
stages of childhood and equal rights to education for boys and girls guaranteed by the
Constitution of Uganda and other international conventions such as CRC and CEDAW. This
is addressed under EDU-II by provision of gender sensitive sanitation facilities in schools
and sensitisation of stakeholders that cover social cultural barriers and values.
• Poor quality of education influenced by quality of teachers, infrastructure and learning
materials which infringes on the right to equitable, child-friendly, safe and high quality
education for all children guaranteed by the Constitution and other conventions such as
UDHR, ICESCR, and CRC: This is addressed by construction and renovation of school
infrastructure, training of teachers and provision of learning materials.
• Limited number of schools/facilities for children with special needs, which infringes on right
to education for all children regardless of status and freedom from discrimination for every
child: This is being addressed by sensitisation of stakeholders on the children with special
needs and provision of facilities to facilitate their learning within the limits of supported
projects.
• Child labour that infringes on the right to protection of children from exploitation and
violation of ILO conventions on minimum age employment and worst forms of child labour.
This is being addressed by the comprehensive community mobilisation and sensitisation
programme.
• Poor attitude to health and fitness, which infringes on the right to sports (international
charter of physical education and sport), right to health and fitness through adequate diet
and fitness (ICESCR), right to participation in sports, rest and leisure (UDHR) and right to
participate in cultural life and arts of the community (UDHR): This is being addressed by
provision of teaching materials for promotion of co-curricular activities to promote sports
and games, and music and dance and drama (MDD) in schools.

3 BUIKWE EDU-II STRUCTURE
3.1 DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE
The development objective of the BDFCDP is:
“...to facilitate improvement in livelihood and living conditions of people in fishing
communities in Buikwe district”.
3.2 IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVE
The immediate objective of EDU I and II is:
“...to improve the quality of basic education in schools and institutions serving fishing
communities of Buikwe district”.
In EDU-II the objective will be achieved through several interventions founded on the five
pillars for enhancement of quality education outcomes in primary education, lower secondary
education and equivalent BTVET:
• Improved learning environment through development of new, and renovation of
existing school infrastructure and facilities, and provision of teaching and learning
materials.
• Capacity development for education sector management at district and subcounty
level to support, monitor and supervise effective education service delivery
• Capacity development for teachers and head teachers to facilitate quality teaching
and professional school leadership for improved learning outcomes.
• Capacity development at community level (community and governance bodies-
PTAs, SMCs, BoGs) to strengthen their respective roles in school engagement and
support, and to improve school management and governance.
• Direct support to learners (school-based health, school-based feeding and fostering
equal opportunities at schools) to enable all learners effectively participate in
learning activities in schools
3.3 OUTPUTS AND ACTIVITIES
The project outputs for EDU-II are based on the five pillars of intervention packages for
improvement of the quality of basic education in schools.
Pillar I – Infrastructure:
Output 2100 (100 in EDU-I): Education Infrastructure developed/Renovated:
This will cover construction of new infrastructure and in exceptional cases renovation
of school infrastructure including classrooms, teacher houses, school kitchens and
WASH facilities. This includes construction of 26 new classroom blocks, renovation of
81 classroom blocks, provision of 1.480 learners’ desks, construction of 20 teacher
house units with solar power, construction and installation of 21 kitchens with energy
saving cooking technology and 14 VIP latrine blocks
Output 2200 (200 in EDU-I): Teaching and Learning Materials Provided:
This will cover provision of 40.620 textbooks for learners, 168 storage cabinets,
teaching materials and guides for teachers as well as 38 packages of equipment for co-
21
curricular activities (sports and games, and music, dance and drama), as well as training
and learning materials for BTVET institutions.
Pillar II - Management of education sector management:
Output 2300 (300 in EDU-I): Education sector management capacity developed:
This output was largely achieved during the implementation of EDU-I.
Output 2400 (400 in EDU-I): Functional Capacity of District Education Office
Strengthened:
The hardware requirements of the BDLG DEO’s office were mostly met during the
implementation of EDU-I. EDU-II will focus on facilitating the department to conduct
bi-annual Monitoring of Learners Achievements (MLA), which is an important tool to
evaluate the effectiveness of education delivery and to respond and put in place
actions to improve quality of education based on MLA findings.
Pillar III - Professional leadership in schools:
Output 2500 (500 in EDU-I): Capacity for Quality Teaching and Professional
Leadership in schools strengthened:
This will mainly involve operationalization of the District Education Sector training plan
to train headmasters and teachers based on continuous professional development
framework for teachers, including sponsoring 38 teachers for Grade III teachers
training.
Pillar IV - Community participation:
Output 2600 (600 in EDU-I): Capacity Developed for Community Engagement and
School Governance:
This will include community mobilisation and sensitization to participate and
contribute towards the delivery of quality education targeting community members,
PTA’s, SMC’s and BoG of schools.
Output 2700 (700 in EDU-I): Reduced Household Costs of “Free” Education:
This output from EDU-I has been dropped as the avenues for its implementation were
not realistic and is not planned under EDU-II.
Pillar V - The Learners:
Output 2800 (800 in EDU-I): Direct Support to Learners Facilitated:
The focus will be on promotion of equal opportunities for boys and girls, school-based
health programmes (school health clubs, deworming campaigns and reproductive
health) and strengthening of school feeding programmes.
4 INPUTS
The description of the main inputs for EDU-II implementation covering financial resources,
commodities (equipment and materials), human resources, as well as technical and
administrative support required from the partners or other stakeholders are the same as
those for EDU-I.

3.5 EXPECTED OUTCOME AND SUSTAINABILITY
Project Outcome: The project will support Buikwe district in its effort to enhance education
standards in deprived fishing communities through stronger service delivery in the education
sector. The project will improve the quality of education in schools serving fishing villages with
emphasis on early grade learning including basic literacy, numeracy and life skills, better
examination outcomes, increased transition from primary school to secondary school and
improved completion rates of secondary education. Interventions focusing on quality are
likely to lead to improved access at all levels of education, increased enrolment and higher
retention rates. More P1-P4 learners will acquire basic literacy skills and numeracy skills, more
P7 learners will pass PLE with better grades (I-III) and transit to post primary education, and
more S4 learners will pass UCE and qualify for higher education.
Sustainability: The project sustainability arrangements for EDU-I covering institutional,
technical and financial aspects shall apply to the EDU-II.
Key Indicators: The project indicators outlined in the project Logframe and M&E framework,
will provide the minimum scope for assessing performance and longitudinal framework for
comparisons over time. The outcome results will be measured by indicators pertaining directly
to the learners, namely, performance on standardised assessment tests, pass rates in national
examinations and transition to and survival rates in secondary schools and BTVET institutions.
Further outcome indicators will relate to satisfaction rates by stakeholders in education
service delivery surveys and better education performance measurements against baseline
data.
The Logframe for the project is shown in Annex III and the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
framework in Annex IV.

12 Survival rate to fifth grade of primary education is of particular interest because it is commonly considered as prerequisite for sustainable literacy – See Education Quality Improvement (EQUIP 2) Toolkit; Indicator Hand Book for Primary Education: Abridged, Compiled by Laurie Cameron (AED), 2004 (https://www.openemis.org/files/resources/Indicator_Handbook_for_Primary_Education_Abridged_2004_en.pdf. 13 The survival rate is calculated by dividing the total number of learners belonging to a school-cohort who reached each successive grade of primary education by the number of learners in the school-cohort i.e. those originally enrolled in the first grade of primary education and multiply the result by 100. It is usually calculated on the basis of the reconstructed cohort method using data on enrolment and repeaters for two consecutive years, however, given the small number of schools monitored, the True Cohort Method will be used to track the individual learners’ progression in targeted schools (measure of school retention and

ANNEX V: THEORY OF CHANGE FOR BUIKWE EDUCATION PROJECT
The Theory of Change to achieve the outcomes of the project is:
By introducing the project to the education sector in the fishing community in Buikwe district with a combination of supportive factors focusing
on better teaching, the project intervention will improve the quality of education in primary schools that receive extensive support leading to
better performance by the learners, who consequently are more likely to make the transfer to higher levels of education. To facilitate the transfer
of qualified learners from primary to secondary education, selected secondary schools will receive support aimed at offering more conducive
learning environment by the secondary schools. District’s administrative capacity will be enhanced to sustain support in the selected areas.
