Safe and Inclusive Cities (SAIC)

Safe and Inclusive Cities (SAIC) project

Overal goal

Children, adolescents and young people are safe and influence decision-making in resilient communities that respect their rights and offer equal opportunities for all regardless of gender.

Statement Of Need

To address this ongoing concern, CFI seeks to enhance literacy and numeracy outcomes by forming robust partnerships and integrating innovative approaches such as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) and Play-based Experiential Education (PE&E). By combining efforts and leveraging diverse methodologies, CFI aims to accelerate progress in improving learning outcomes among vulnerable children, ensuring they have better prospects for future development.

In 2017, Community Focus International (CFI) launched the Farm to School project in Otwal Sub County, targeting Angolo, Otwal, Ader, and Omele Ps schools. Prioritizing nutrition’s role in academic success, CFI aims to establish a scalable, cost-effective school feeding program in government primary schools across Otwal and Aleka Sub-counties in Oyam district. By ensuring access to meals, the initiative empowers teachers, pupils, and parents to participate in agriculture, fostering self-reliance and community collaboration.
