• Identifying and mentoring new OVC service providers on the OVCMIS

tool e.g Plan international, Action Aid, Nebbi Parents Support Group
• DOVCC and SOVCC meeting held quarterly

• Cases of juveniles are mostly solved out of court

• IDI and other partners are willing to transport juveniles to remand home

• Support pupils feeding in school by IDI

 Challenges
• Poor parenting
• UPE policy making parents to neglect their roles
• Poor feeding affecting children performance
• Absenteeism is still high in school affecting performance
• Child neglect by teachers
• Follow up of cases is still low
• Low budget to address children issues
 Recommendations
• District to increase its budget next Financial Year 2019/2020 to
address children’s issues.
• Conducting community dialogue on parenting

• Joint monitoring of schools

• Radio talk show on parenting

• Encourage parents to contribute in cash to feed their children in

school
 Future plans
• Utilize the free government air time on radios to conduct radio talk shows to
disseminate all policies and laws in relation to child care and protection
• Sustain DOVCC and SOVCC meeting
• Conduct community dialogue meetings to sensitize the parents on their
parenting roles of child upbringing.
• Continue lobby for more funding and support from other partners
