Ugandan children did not receive any formal education for one and a half years, but this is vital to them to face the challenges in their country, including poverty and climate change. More than 30,000 children can now rely on quality education thanks to a results-based financing programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"School girls in Uganda\" class=\"wp-image-6107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06276-78x44.jpg 78w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">School girls in Uganda.

Let&#8217;s visit one of them: Kawaaga Primary School in Kamuli District in the heart of Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the project started in 2020, Kawaaga Primary School was among the worst-performing schools in the country. Now, the head of the school is welcoming us, beaming with pride and eager to show what the teachers and students have achieved together with Cordaid in just three years. In 2023, Kawaaga Primary School will be among the top primary schools in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe once were just like these children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborating for better results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with the school staff, Cordaid has developed a system of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/what-we-do\/health-care\/penny-wise-pound-wise-performance-based-financing-in-health-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">results-based financing<\/a>. This means that the school will receive funds once a number of predetermined results have been achieved. These could include more girls in the classroom, training teachers, better test results, or better accessibility, as the distances between the villages in the area and the schools often pose a challenge for the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After achieving the agreed-upon results, the school can autonomously decide how to spend the funds. In most cases, the money will go to renovation, improving sanitary facilities, or better salaries for the staff. The latter is crucial because Ugandan teachers often work several jobs to make ends meet. This could mean they won&#8217;t have enough time to prepare the lessons properly and cannot give extra attention to students who need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With funding from Cordaid, teachers undergo further training to improve their education methods. \u201cI am a born teacher,\u201d says James Buyinza with a generous smile. The 38-year-old teacher is very pleased with the school&#8217;s changes in collaboration with Cordaid. \u201cI am also going back to school to improve my work. My dream for the students is that they will all succeed and be happy when they stand on their own two feet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"School teacher in Uganda\" class=\"wp-image-6108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06318-78x44.jpg 78w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">James Buyinza, a teacher at Kawaaga Primary School. Image: Niels van Laar\/Cordaid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenges for Kawaaga Primary School were countless and, in some cases, almost insurmountable. The building was dilapidated, the school desks were broken or non-existent, and there were no toilets, clean water, or electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years later, the building has undergone a total metamorphosis. It has been renovated, and even classrooms have been added. The desks have been repaired, toilets have been installed, and soap and water are always available. Thanks to solar energy, there are no longer any worries about the power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cNow I can chase my dream and become a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s Fix the System!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from all the direct and tangible results, results-based financing is also an effective way to kickstart sustainable and systemic change. All schools in a rather large area can now improve their quality at a rapid pace, which will undeniably affect Ugandan education in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, governments are interested in adopting the approach. The same method, but in the health care field, has been successfully implemented by governments in Rwanda and Zimbabwe, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To build a well-functioning system, discipline and accuracy are required, explains project coordinator Ronnie Bashabe. \u201cWe have a strict verification procedure to check whether the results have been achieved. This way, we ensure that not a single penny ends up in the wrong place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Education programme manager in Uganda\" class=\"wp-image-6110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06492-78x44.jpg 78w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ronnie Bashabe, project coordinator for Cordaid in Uganda.

This is a godsend for children who live too far away and have no transport. There is space for 32 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of them is 14-year-old Shenita Nabirye. Staying in the student residence means she no longer has to embark on a daily, strenuous hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"School girl in Uganda\" class=\"wp-image-6109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC06467-78x44.jpg 78w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shenita Nabirye.
