| Introduction | Uwezo,meaning "capability" is a four year initiative to improve competencies in literacy and numeracy among children aged 6-16years in Kenya,Tanzania and Uganda through an innovative,civic-driven and public accountability approach to social change. In Uganda, the initiative is hosted by the Uganda National NGO Forum. Uwezo recognises that the Ministry of Education and Sports has done alot to improve quality on the policy front and through National Assessments of Progress in Education(NAPE),focusing on two -P3 and P6. Uwezo uses a P2 test and assesses all primary-school-going age children between 6-16years. Uwezo seeks to complement existing educational assessments and to engender social change by generating new information on children's literacy and numeracy across East Africa, in a manner that better informs the public, stimulates countrywide debate , and creates demand for policy change from the bottom up. |
