The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) Regional Secretariat and FAWE Uganda have partnered to amplify evidence-based solutions for advancing girls’ education.
The collaboration was highlighted at the National Conference on “What Works in Girls’ Education” held in Kampala, where Hon. Dr. Joyce Moriku Kaducu, Minister of State for Primary Education, presided over the event.
Representing the Regional Secretariat, Martin Jackson Okhako, Sexual and Reproductive Health Programme Officer, presented the achievements of FAWE’s flagship TUSEME (“Let’s Speak Out”) model.
The program, which empowers girls to voice challenges affecting their education and social wellbeing, is undergoing a major revision to ensure inclusivity, integrating learners with disabilities and those in refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.
Through the Share Program, FAWE also announced the establishment of 15 new TUSEME clubs in Adjumani and Buyende districts this year. The increasing enrollment in these clubs reflects their growing role as safe spaces for girls to express themselves, build confidence, and influence positive change in their communities.
“This partnership between FAWE’s Regional Secretariat and FAWE Uganda is the driving force of our impact,” said Okhako, emphasizing that collaborative efforts are key to scaling up initiatives that work.
The conference provided a crucial platform for stakeholders to exchange proven strategies, reaffirming FAWE’s commitment to strengthening education systems so that no girl is left behind.
