The State of Youth and Youth Protection in Northern Uganda: Findings from the survey for war-affected youth

Submitted by crinadmin on

This report argues for significant changes in humanitarian aid and protection services in northern Uganda. Current programming is overwhelmingly focused on two activities: meeting the humanitarian needs of the internally displaced population, and "reintegrating" children returning from abduction by the rebel force. New survey and interview evidence, however, make the case for several important shifts in program design including a shift from prioritising psychosocial care to prioritising age-appropriate education and income-generating activities. The evidence argues for humanitarian organisations to maintain a delicate balance between emergency services and a long-term development programme.
