By addressing the critical gap in parent-child SRH communication, especially for vulnerable adolescents in refugee and host communities, it aims to foster healthier behaviors and reduce risks like teenage pregnancy.
Dr. Viola Nilah Nyakato, Principal Investigator for the #CONNECTProject, has shed light on its strategic design and expected outcomes at today's launch in Isingiro.
Highlighting that Uganda hosts 1.7 million refugees (half under 18!), this project is designed to adapt and evaluate a proven SRH communication intervention.
A key focus remains on empowering caregivers and adolescents in Nakivale and Bidibidi refugee settlements – a truly impactful research initiative.
Powerful insights from the Deputy CAO of Isingiro, Benard Ahimbisibwe at the #CONNECTProject .
He emphasized that as a refugee-hosting district, Isingiro faces unique challenges, with many adolescents needing support.
His call to action underscored the critical need for improved SRH communication and skills to interact with youth, a mission central to our project's goals.
Today marks a pivotal moment. @MbararaUST is glad to announce the official launch of the #CONNECTProject in Isingiro, Uganda, at the Isingiro District Resource Centre.
