Action Research for the Gender for Development Uganda (G4DU) Programme
REFNo: SS4991ES
3. STUDY CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
Given the critical role of UNICEF in addressing gender imbalances in education, this multiyear action research aims at generating actionable evidence and fostering continuous learning for the enhancement of the G4DU Program’s financial support models and AEP. This iterative research will serve as a critical feedback loop, informing UNICEF's adaptive programming and policy advocacy efforts. The research will target students, headteachers, parents and district education departments. The study will be conducted over a period of 2-3 months annually , to allow for implementation of the intervention and observation of its effects. Being ongoing research, it will focus on the implementation phase of the programme from 2025-2028. The research will be conducted in four of the seven districts, namely: Yumbe, Adjumani, Lamwo, and Kitgum, focusing on selected schools and households .
Objectives of the action research:
1. To explore the effectiveness of newly developed and tested models of:
Performance-based school grants for girls’ retention and completion of primary education.
Cash transfer to households aiming at adolescent transitioning to and retention in secondary education.
2. To assess the effectiveness of the AEP model targeting out-of-school adolescents towards improving alternative access, accelerated pathways to primary education and transition into formal schools (primary and secondary schools).
3. To assess the relevance, efficiency, and sustainability of G4DU interventions in reducing barriers to education for vulnerable adolescent girls.
4. Determine the effect of school-level planning, local government capacity strengthening and community engagement, towards improving participation, retention and transition of girls.
5. Identify lessons learned from the implementation of financial support models and complementary activities and provide recommendations for programme adaptation and policy influencing.
The insights gained from these objectives will provide UNICEF and its partners with a robust evidence base to refine existing interventions, scale up successful approaches, and advocate for policies that institutionalise effective strategies for inclusive education in Uganda.
