Institutionalizing the Parental Empowerment & Engagement (PE&E) approach within government systems
Zizi Afrique Foundation has successfully institutionalized the Parental Empowerment & Engagement (PE&E) approach within government systems, working closely with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Education. This collaboration has led to the establishment of a national advisory committee on parental engagement, now fully operational and integrated into local governance through community barazas. This marks a significant step toward sustainable, government-led parental involvement in children’s learning.
Launching a Community Engagement Campaign in Uganda
Zizi Afrique Foundation enhanced public awareness on life skills education in Uganda by launching a 10-week Parental and Community Engagement campaign across six districts, sparking grassroots support for life skills development at the household level in partnership with RELI members. This will contribute to nurturing a stronger enabling environment for life skills education by mobilizing families and communities as active co-educators.
In Bungoma, 13 education actors committed to using PE&E tools in non-intervention schools, reaching 388 parents, 33 teachers, and four CSOs. Upcoming efforts will focus on tracking implementation fidelity and documenting insights on parental engagement in literacy.
