Assessment of Play To Grow Flex Programme
REFNo: SS3339ES
Inform RTP on next steps for Play to Grow.,Review the relevance, contextual appropriateness, and quality of the programme and identify any evidence of promise.,The problem being studied is the feasibility of implementing an intervention that provides training and support to parents of 3-6-year-old children in conflict-affected districts of Uganda. In these areas, children face heightened vulnerabilities due to instability, displacement, and lack of consistent care. The intervention aims to support parents in fostering their children’s psychosocial well-being through play-based strategies. It is currently being piloted in Isingiro and Adjumani. In the context of the pilot, we need to address questions about whether the program is feasible, relevant, appropriate, has enough quality and has a clear model, before further implementation steps are undertaken.,

Children of War: Evolving mobilization and conceptions of child soldiering in Uganda, 1900-2000
REFNo: SS3296ES
This is one of the case studies of a larger UK Arts and Humanities Research Council grant. The research is comparative across time, region, forms of warfare and varying forms of child recruitment and military use across Africa, from the colonial period to approximately 2000, including archival and secondary data, and three focal case studies (Uganda, Angola, DRC). We are interested to both trace the evolution of child and youth involvement in armed conflict, and humanitarian and human rights responses to children in conflict which gave rise to the concept of 'child soldiers'.
The Uganda case study is critical to the project due to Uganda's centrality in humanitarian narratives and research on children in armed conflict over the last 30 years, as well as its interconnection with regional conflict dynamics (especially with Sudan/South Sudan, DRC and Rwanda). The Uganda case study intends to historicize and culturally-ground the concept of ‘child soldier’ which came to the fore in the 1990s and 2000s, and aims to trace the evolution of this concept and its relation to broader ideas of childhood and child labour in the colonial and post-colonial context. The case study therefore takes a wider temporal frame (1900-2000) than the overall grant project (1940-2000) to capitalise on Uganda’s rich history and archival sources. The specific objectives for the Uganda case study are:
To generate a historical dataset on the involvement of children and youth in armed conflict in Uganda, which will be analyzed comparatively across the other case contexts involved in the broader grant project;
To analyse the historical and regional diversity of ideas of childhood and youth across Uganda, and how these shape children and youth’s involvement in violence
To map (across time and space) humanitarian and local social responses to children/youth involvement and use in armed conflict, focusing on developing discourses and exchange/tension between local and global frames.
To develop connections to practitioners and networks working on child soldiers, DD[R]R (disarmament, demobilization, [rehabilitation], reintegration) and child/youth development across Uganda (both regionally and nationally)
