  • Endline Survey and Final Evaluation

    Endline Survey and Final Evaluation

    Project Background
    Since 2013, HI has implemented phase one of the Ubuntu Care project in Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya, which includes activities and research designed to more effectively identify and address factors related to sexual violence against children with and without disabilities. All project stakeholders agreed that the extension of the project to a second phase was necessary; by building on phase one to develop a more integrated system with a view to confronting sexual violence against children. Phase two of the Ubuntu Care project was developed and continues to address the following vulnerability factors: the poverty of families with children with disabilities; isolated children and ‘invisible’ cases; sexual violence in schools; unreported cases and out-of-court settlements between perpetrators and families of survivors; delayed medical consultation; socio-cultural norms and beliefs; obstacles to or lack of justice; and, the absence of appropriate psychosocial support.
    This multi-country project, funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), aims to address the root causes of sexual violence against children, including girls and boys with and without disabilities in Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya. The strategy is to effectively translate international commitments on children’s rights, in particular the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), into concrete actions on the ground through improved mechanisms to respond to sexual violence against children at all levels. This project deploys a model of an inclusive child protection safety net encompassing children, families, communities, services and authorities to protect children from sexual violence and support survivors and their parents/guardians to facilitate access to immediate assistance, and long-term reintegration and sustainable inclusion.
    The “inclusive child protection safety net” is a systemic approach that empowers children and child protection actors and promotes interaction between these actors within a defined geographical area. The project’s goal is to create a more integrated protection system (health, education, legal/judicial, psychosocial and community sectors) to provide quality and timely services that are age-appropriate as well as gender and disability sensitive.

    Overall objective: Reduce sexual violence against children, including girls and boys with and without disabilities in Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya. .
    Specific objective: Implement the inclusive child protection safety net model by empowering children, families, communities, services and authorities to protect children against sexual violence, help survivors and their parents/guardians access immediate assistance, and promote their sustainable reintegration and inclusion in Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya.
    Estimated results

    Main activities implemented

    Build the capacities of child advisory committees to strengthen the participation of children in the development, monitoring and assessment of project activities and ensure their recommendations are taken into account
    Empower children, including children with disabilities, to become agents for change and effective child protection actors
    Support and training of local partners to manage project implementation.
    Support and training of institutions, community chiefs and champions, community members to protect children from sexual violence and provide support to child survivors.
    Strengthen the protective role of vulnerable families through positive parenting education and connection to support services
    Support and training of multi-disciplinary taskforces / one stop centres
    Support and training of schools/specialised centres to develop/implement action plans in order to become safe schools/centres for children.
    Support to hospitals and health centres to define / implement an action plan improving medical and psychological care to SV survivors

    2.2.Theory of change of the project
    A theory of change is focusing on modelling, replication and participation of key agents of change (children, families, communities, service providers and policy-makers). To bring about lasting change at local level, the activities build the capacities of these actors and local social systems for children (through committees, clubs and forums for children): at community level through child protection committees to identify and report cases of SV against children and provide survivors with guidance; and at district/province/county level by building the capacities of task forces/one-stop centres to provide care, treatment and follow-up. By building on this momentum, it will be possible to create safe environments and ensure survivors enjoy equal opportunities
