Section D Achievements and performance

Schools in Uganda have been closed since March 2020 due to the Summary of the main coronavirus pandemic, leading to an increase in incidents of child abuse in achievements of the charity homes and other issues related to poor parenting. As a result, the Church during the year of Uganda extended “The Year of the Child” from 2019-20 into 2020-21 and continued to promote child protection and positive parenting practices in their dioceses across the country.

During 2020-21 the Church of Uganda Provincial Office continued to print and distribute a training document entitled “Positive Parenting”. This document has been used in workshops with church leaders, members of clergy and parents, in order to provide them with good parenting knowledge and skills. Some of this training was broadcast nationally on television, particularly when the country was in a strict lockdown due to covid. The Church of Uganda Provincial Office has sought to support families who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. This year they identified 12 such families in four of the poorest dioceses and provided them with one-off financial support so that they could buy food and other essential supplies.

As children in Uganda prepare to return to school, the Church of Uganda have organised training sessions for chaplains and teachers. In rural Uganda the children have received very little education during this time owing to a lack of access to online classes and resources. The training sessions have provided the chaplains and teachers with skills and knowledge so that they can support these children returning to school after such a long break in their formal education. Grants made by CUCMUK supported the general administrative costs of the Provincial Office, including the salary of Rev Richard Rukundo, as well as the printing of the training documents, the support to families affected by the pandemic, and the provision of the chaplaincy training. Rosie Giles, the chair of CUCMUK, was not able to visit Uganda due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. She was, however, able to keep up to date with the work of the Provincial Office by email and phone contact with Rev Richard Rukundo.
