This relationship aims at building on the current Aflateen Social & Financial Education curriculum being implimented by PEDN in secondary across Uganda to include a component on adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). As part of this MoU, PEDN joined the team from EngenderHealth led by Mrs. Tumusiime Molly,a Program Associate - Community Engagement at EngerHealth for a 5 day (1st August 2016 to 5th August, 2016) mapping and needs assesment in the districts of Jinja and Kamuli with a focus on 10 selected secondary schools. The PEDN team that was led by Mr. Nixon Ochatre included Mrs. Myria Lugwire Mutesi, Vivianne Tibaberwa and Sulaiman Magumba took lead in carrying out a school mapping survey that aimed at having a clear understanding of the school environment in relationship to the proposed Aflateen + curriculum. The school mapping survey realized some key findings related to the school programs in relationship to school co-currricular activities, the motivation of teachers and existence of structures within and out of school that can support and justify the need for the Aflateen + curriculum. Despite of the many positive findings, EngenderHealth should closely work with the school administration, already existing clubs, other NGOs in the community and the health centers around the school to build a structure that will support the successful implimentation of the Aflateen + currriculum. For more of the findings and recommendations from the school mapping survey, please read through this report. 3 ACRONYMS D.E.O - District Education Development Network (PEDN) D.I.S - District Inspector of Schools Gov’t. – Government MoU – Memorandum of Understanding PEDN – Private Education Development Network Priv. – Private SFE - Social and financial education SRH – Sexual & Reproductive Health YSFE – Youth Social & Financial Education 4 BACKGROUND Introduction On the 22nd, July, 2016 the Private Education Development Network (PEDN) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with EngederHealth to share the goals of establishing a technical collaborative relationship.
