Are our children learning? Uwezo learning assessment in refugee contexts in Uganda

The Uwezo Assessments of children’s literacy and numeracy in East Africa have well established procedures, but these have been designed for settled, non-refugee populations. This pilot study therefore applies, and where necessary adapts, these procedures to the context of refugee settlements. It is also comparative in design, comparing the learning outcomes and learning contexts of refugee children with those of non-refugee children in the host communities.
