Enabel, central authorities and local community identify areas of intervention in infrastructure - Rwanda
Denise NSANGA | 28/08/2020
The Urbanisation sector of the current Belgo-Rwandan cooperation is focusing on boosting infrastructure in secondary cities. Three districts namely Rubavu, Musanze and Rwamagana, in Western, Northern and Eastern provinces respectively were targeted for this 28 million Euros project dubbed Urban Economic Development initiative (UEDi). To scale up the infrastructure, a workshop and urban walk is organized in each district of intervention and brings together Enabel, Local Administrative Entities Development Agency (LODA), District authorities, the private sector and other partners for the identification and prioritization of quick-wins projects as well as role sharing among the stakeholders. “With the Urban Walk, we want to understand, together with all the stakeholders, the potentialities of the sites presented by the district and to understand how to work on their development. We want to participate in the construction process of a sustainable vibrant city” Mattias Piani, Intervention Manager, Urbanisation intervention In Rwamagana District, a road connecting the handcraft centre to the city centre of Rwamagana is being built under this project which is operating since January 2020. “We will benefit from this project as it will enable us creating more jobs from the carpentry workshop; having a new market which will boost our businesses; moreover, citizens will be getting jobs from roads construction” Celestin Munyaneza, Private Sector representative in Rwamagana district In Musanze District, construction of the new handcraft centre has recently started and is expected to finish mid-2021. In the city of Rubavu, the construction of interconnecting roads around its handcraft centre is starting soon.

Construction of stone arch bridges to facilitate market access in Tanzania
Willem VAN DER VOORT | 20/08/2020
The Sustainable Agriculture Kigoma Region Project (SAKiRP) has a successful component “access to agricultural commodity markets”. The construction of stone arch bridges contributes to this component by facilitating the transportation of agricultural produce and thus reducing the cost of transportation for farmers.Stone arches are a strong and time-tested technology that fits with the local economic reality of expensive industrial materials as opposed to a low labour cost.Due to the elimination of all industrial materials except for cement and thanks to the support of the villages, a stone arch bridge can be built at a cost of only 15 to 20% of an equivalent concrete bridge.At the same time, a stone arch bridge emits 50 to 80% less carbon dioxide than an equivalent concrete bridge.The lower cost reduces the strain on the national infrastructure budget and reinforces the local governments’ autonomy, allowing them to upgrade 10 river crossings with an average district budget rather than 1 crossing in the case of concrete bridge technology. The Tanzanian Rural Roads Agency (TARURA) is an enthusiastic partner of SAKiRP and aims to incorporate the stone arch bridge technology in their organization for future implementation.On the other hand, the involvement of the villages ensures that bridges are only built where there is a real demand.Once the bridge is finished, the same villages will take more care of the bridge they helped building than in the case where an external contractor executed the construction.After a one-year start-up period, SAKIRP has completed 17 bridges and 18 more are under construction. The scale-up of the construction effort will see 70 bridges completed by the end of the project.

En RDC, mise en place d'activités de sensibilisation à l’hygiène à travers l’eau potable
Grâce MALI FAIDA | 17/08/2020
Le lavage des mains avec du savon est un des moyens les plus efficaces de prévenir les maladies hydriques comme la diarrhée et le choléra qui sont les principales causes de décès chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans.Dans les endroits où il est difficile d’accéder à l'eau potable, il est difficile de trouver des savons, et donc, compliqué de se laver les mains correctement. Les populations de ces endroits reculés ont difficilement accès à des services d’hygiène et d’assainissement de base et aux latrines de qualité car l’eau reste un élément centrale dans un tel processus. Les bonnes pratiques en matière d’hygiène sont pourtant la manière la plus simple et la plus efficace d’empêcher la propagation des maladies.Grâce au partenaire Caritas, des activités de sensibilisation à l’hygiène et à l’assainissement sont mises en place dans les zones couvertes par le programme Eau que sont les régions de Nduba, Cishadu- Buhozi, Lujambo et Idjwi. Les objectifs de ces activités veillent à la promotion de bons comportements en matière d’hygiène, en appuyant une filière de production, de distribution et de commercialisation de savons locaux, des dispositifs de stockage d’eau à domicile pour le lavage des mains, la cuisson et la boisson. Le renforcement des capacités des systèmes de ramassage des déchets ménagers fait aussi partie de ces objectifs. Est donc prévu toute une série de formations et une mise en place de comités d’hygiène qui seront déployés dans toutes les zones ciblées par des spécialistes et également par des animateurs communautaires.

Youth reap rewards from skills training in Uganda
Racheal AKELLO | 12/08/2020
Twenty-eight-year-old Mwajuma Kyamanywa sits in her workshop where she mixes different substances to manufacture soap. It is gratifying to know that a physically challenged youth is making a living by making bar and liquid soap. Mwajuma, a mother of 3 who hails from Masindi, a district in Western Uganda, has had to overcome stigma and discrimination to get to where she is. In November 2019, she enrolled for a 6-day instant training course in liquid detergent and bar soap making at SafePlan Uganda, a local livelihood partner that implements development programs in the district. Instant training is a short competence enhancement training adopted by Enabel to enhance a particular skill.Before this opportunity presented itself, Mwajuma previously sold tomatoes in the market and made Ugx 30,000 (USD 12) per week which was not enough to sustain her family and their needs. The training has helped her multiply her earnings 3 times over to make Ugx 100,000 (USD 28) weekly. “I was able to pay for my son who recently completed his Senior Four studies and joined an institute to study Electrical engineering. I was also able to buy him a computer for his studies,” she says with pride. Mwajuma reveals that she personally chose this path because she prefers to fend for herself than keep begging for help from people. Just like Mwajuma, Aggrey Ahumuza Myrrh is among the many youths in Uganda that benefited from skills training. Aggrey Ahumuza, 24, enrolled for liquid and bar soap training at the same time with Mwajuma. In the past, Aggrey earned his income from small contracts where he carried out short trainings for disabled youth interested in making soap. He sought to improve his skills and decided to join the instant training supported by Enabel. “I have been able to better my soap making skills and now, I sell my soap confidently to my clients because the quality I make meets Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) criteria,” remarks Aggrey. He also adds that he carried out some research and discovered a mentor who helped him improve on his skill. He is now able to make 6 pieces per every 3 days.With the introduction of the lockdown and emphasis on hygiene due to Covid -19 and frequent washing of hands with soap by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the demand for liquid soap skyrocketed in various places.This development provided an opportunity for Aggrey to supply jerrycans of liquid soap to various clients. This earned him Ugx 1.5m for three months (USD 395). With this money, he has been able to buy baby supplies for his 5-month old baby and take care of the household.Aggrey is looking at the prospect of opening up a soap manufacturing business in Masindi where he produces quality liquid, bar, and bathing soap as well as train people who desire to acquire this skill. As part of the speeches to mark the International Youth Day (IYD), Daniel Akena, Program Manager at SafePlan Uganda encouraged youth like Mwajuma and the needy, to encourage others to enroll in the Skills for jobs training. Akena also said that the IYD should be used to review what young people are doing in terms of skilling and its benefits and if there is need for more resources to support skilling programs. Skills training among the youth has proven to be effective in improving the lives of young people in Uganda. Such interventions lay a foundation for young people in Uganda to be able to look after themselves, make income and look after their households, thus making life better for them. Youth unemployment is an underlying issue in Uganda but with the provision of formal and non-formal training, young people are able to make a living for themselves to overcome this.

Two Karamojong sisters making money from masks during the Covid -19 period in Uganda
Joseph BASOGA | 30/07/2020
Lucy Sagal and Pascal Sagal are sisters from Matany in Napak District. Esther trained with St. Daniel Comboni Technical institute as a tailor under the Enabel Programme. When she completed the skills training, she opened up a fashion store in Matany town and is now training her Lucy sister to learn the same skill. “Before Covid -19, business was good, I had signed up 3 orders, to make uniforms for St. Daniels Comboni Technical Institute, Kalalong and Longalong Primary schools. But no sooner had I delivered 150 uniforms for Kalalong than the President announced total lockdown” Pascal narrates. It was difficult to survive because they were not allowed to work for about 2 months and we started spending our small capital on food. Rent arrears were also piling up. But hope was restored when the Lorengechora health center in Matany ordered for 58 masks. The two sisters were allowed to open their tailoring store and since then, they have never looked back. They also got another tender to supply over 100 masks to the Truck driver’s association in Matany. Individuals who can afford can also acquire a mask at UGX 1000 on display at the store. While Covid-19 Lock downs in Uganda and beyond has affected many businesses, survival of most small business has been mainly hinged on skills innovation and personal service delivery. Esther used just that to survive. The duo has now diversified to subsistence farming to save on the cost food. “we have grown some G nuts, sorghum and cassava to save on our expenses on feeding”.The sisters say that biggest challenge during the lock down was access to raw material.

Earning a living from beehives in Uganda
William YEKA | 27/07/2020
It is a hot January afternoon in Imvepi refugee settlement in Arua district, home to almost 80,000 South Sudanese refugees. Twenty-year-old Alison John and his fellow students, both refugees and locals, are busy making beehives out of timber. Even as they are putting the final touches, there is already a buyer for their products. A nearby apiary farm has been purchasing all the beehives produced during the training. Beekeeping is good business in this part of Uganda. Honey goes for as much as 16,000 shillings per liter. The demand is high. The honey from Arua is sold at supermarkets in Kampala and even exported abroad. Ever since John joined the training, organized by the Belgian development agency Enabel, he sees a bright future for himself and his family. His father died a few years ago and John, being the oldest son, became the head of the household. In 2017, when the war engulfed his home area of Yei, he fled with his sick mother and younger brother to Uganda. But life at the settlement was difficult. He found it hard to depend on UNHCR for basic things like food and water. “I wanted to acquire skills that would enable me to earn a living, not only here in the settlement but also after I return home,” he said. At the end of the training, John and his colleagues will receive start-up kits to enable them to set up their own business. They were also equipped with entrepreneurial skills to ensure that the businesses started are well managed. Enabel delivered the training in close partnership with Tornado, the umbrella organization coordinating the beekeeping sector in Uganda and Oxfam.

Enabling the continuity of learning - Uganda
Dorothy KYAMAZIMA | 26/07/2020
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments around the world have ordered for the closure of schools in quick succession to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Because of this, more than 60 percent of the world’s learners, around 1.5 billion students are unable to go to school in over 107 countries, according to UNESCO. Given the grand scale of education disruption and the uncertainty of schools re-opening, this has led to a global education crisis. What this means for Uganda is that since March 20th, over 15 million learners are shut out of classrooms and confined to their homes without access to instruction and uncertain of their future.Even though Uganda, has managed to take the necessary steps to ensure that the infection rate in the country remains low, the hope for schools resuming is one that relies heavily on the ability of Education ministry to raise funds for regular testing of learners and teachers in what is termed as the phased reopening of schools. Currently, the Education Ministry’s Covid-19 response plan involves the distribution of home study kits and broadcasting lessons on both radio and television directly to learners at home. This is has created a shift from learning face to face in the classroom to adopting distance learning and virtual teaching methods. Introducing a New Normal with the TTE Sandbox With the significant change to the way learning is presently operating, teachers must inevitably re-skill at a record pace to support the continuity of learning. This means stepping away from traditional teaching methods and embracing the use of technology. A concept that Enabel has long since been supporting in the National Teachers’ Colleges (NTCs) in Uganda. Through the Teacher Training Education (TTE) project, Enabel has placed priority on “leaving no one behind” by investing in sustainable infrastructure, innovations in management and teaching practices in the NTCs that aim at producing competent secondary school teachers.It is from the latter that the distance learning strategy is now established. Dubbed as the ‘TTE Sandbox’, it serves as a testing environment for education technology (EdTech) fully utilizing the potential of teachers to respond to the current education crisis. It introduces ICT tools and educational practices aimed at facilitating and enhancing distance learning during and post Covid-19 pandemic. Through the sandbox, Enabel has organized innovative collaborations with NTC lecturers and ICT champions to introduce new ideas and technologies into the NTC ecosystem. Ensuring communication with staff and students is maintained One of the first steps of the sandbox was to ensure that communication is maintained between NTC management, staff and students. Enabel has provided support for this by using a bulk SMS system. With the availability of 8,000 messages per month, NTCs can customize information to their staff and students in preparation for distance learning and official communication. This is complemented with an annual video conference subscription for each college that allows them to host up to 100 participants and hold an unlimited number of meetings to support management and teaching.Harnessing the Power of Innovation From this sandbox, a virtual hackathon was organized to kick start the lecturers’ involvement and inspire creativity in unpacking the different technologies to plan their digital lessons. More than 70 NTC lecturers participated in this hackathon, each pitching several tools they intended to use to develop and deliver lesson content.Bolla Norbert, a music lecturer from NTC Mubende was one of the participants with a winning pitch on how lecturers could use Google classroom, YouTube, Prezi and WhatsApp to deliver lesson content. The latter being his most remarkable achievement so far. What initially started as a way to keep in touch with students via WhatsApp quickly turned into a lesson delivery tool as more students joined the social media platform. From a class of 38 students, he now has access to 29 learners and shares lessons every day at 3:00 pm.“My desire to learn more about ICT has given me the ability to stay relevant and support my students. I have been sending learning content through WhatsApp and when I realised my students were responsive; I resorted to starting lessons on a regular basis. Now I look forward to using tools that are more sophisticated like Google Classroom. ” Bolla Norbert, NTC Mubende. Realising the potential of teachers Borrowing from this collaborative effort, Enabel also introduced a series of Community of Practice (CoP) sessions taking place every Thursday at 2:30 pm via ZOOM video conferencing. Through these knowledge-sharing events, college lecturers attend virtual meetings where they learn how to use the different digital tools for lesson delivery such as tutorials on screen-casting, podcasting, video conferencing, E-books and padlet among others. These sessions have gained popularity in the teacher colleges as the numbers of participating lecturers have steadily grown from 82 to 160 over a period of 2 months. Esther Katate a female lecturer from NTC Kaliro shares her experience in participating in the CoPs. “I find the demonstrations for each of these digital tools quite fascinating. Because of these sessions, I have been able to introduce lessons using podcasts.” While the concept of CoP sessions is intended for the benefit of lecturers in the teachers’ colleges, the idea has also trickled down to secondary schools. So far, teachers in the network of partner secondary schools surrounding the NTCs have expressed interest and are taking part in these virtual meetings aimed at gaining new skills. Ojok Simon Stephen, a teacher from Ocer Campion Jesuit College, a secondary school in Gulu had this to say.“I have attended four Community of Practice sessions and my favourite tool is PowerPoint because it doesn’t require constant use of the internet. I can work on my laptop and later share work with my students online. It is something am happy to use even when schools resume.”The colleges are also each provided with a 2,000-euro package to support the continuous professional development of their staff by undertaking several online courses. Making sure students access educational resources Aside from the hackathon and the Community of practice sessions, Enabel has invested in setting up a number of interventions to make sure students have access to educational resources during the closing of their NTC. One of these is the ‘Help-desk’; a peer-to-peer support system that consists of lecturers from each of the NTCs. Through the help-desk, lecturers provide support to each other across the colleges to undertake distance learning by developing lesson content with the appropriate ICT tools. When the lesson content is developed, it is then uploaded to a one-stop portal for easy access to both lecturers and students in the teachers’ colleges. Created through Padlet, this portal hosts all teaching and learning resources such as tutorials on ICT for distance learning, lessons developed by lecturers on different subjects and open education resources for secondary education. From lessons learnt to policy development In July, Enabel, organised a high-level eDialogue which brought together participants from the public and private sectors as well as development partners to feed the development of an ICT in education policy. Enabel has supported Uganda’s education sector for about 20 years with a focus on teacher training and vocational education. Even during these times of Covid-19, learning should not wait. The organisation is offering various forms of technical and financial support to ensure learning continuity including engaging authorities about the need to align education with advances in technology.

How skilling has turned Emmanuel from a casual worker to an entrepreneur - Uganda
Joseph BASOGA | 14/07/2020
Onoit Emmanuel, has been through a lot to become the experienced welder that he is today. He has done many odd jobs. Emmanuel started off as a casual laborer offering manual labor in his community for pay as little as UGX 10,000 ($2) a day. He then served as a worker at many construction sites and later as a security guard under G4C security group, providing free services in the company’s electronic shop in Jinja in exchange for food and shelter. The young skilled welder from Nakapiripirit Vocation Institute in Karamoja is happy to be a professional welder and metal fabricator. “This skill is my life, it puts food at my table and has earned me respect in this place” he affirms, adding that the youth in the area have now given the titles “Ekapolon” (to mean boss in local dialect) Luck came his way when an advert was pinned on a mango tree at the Uganda Technical College Elgon, where he had dropped out of school because he could not afford fees. Enable with funding from Ireland Embassy was recruiting Karamajongs willing to acquire practical skills for development. Onoit who had earlier attended technical training in a non-registered school in Mbarara, had spent all his little savings to give him an education only to get a fake certificate. “This opportunity wiped all the tears I had cried after losing my money to a fake institute” he speaks with emotion. “I could not let this opportunity by-pass me” he says. After acquiring this skill, he was offered a job at a welding workshop in Nakapiripirit. Later the owner wanted to close the workshop because it was not making businesses sense. He pleaded with him and slowly by slowly he revived it, acquired equipment and moved location to set up his own. He can now afford rental space worth UGX 80, 000 per month and has built capacity of up to UGX 4,000,000 worth of assets over time. He is grateful that the programme has facilitated him to attend capacity building workshops to improve his skill.Recently he even signed up memorandum of understanding with the Nakapiripirit Vocational Institute to help train fellow students. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Among Phoebe and Onoit Michael both peasants, Onoit attended Alengot Primary school, Sajik royal college and Serere High school before joining the institute.
