KEY MOVEMENT-BUILDING INITIATIVES PROGRESSED IN FOUR URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WORKED TO EXPAND THE BASE OF TRAINED ACTIVISTS, MOBILIZED AND ORGANIZED AROUND SHARED AGENDAS. TWO-HUNDRED-AND-FIVE PEOPLE GRADUATED FROM 17 URBAN "EDUCATION IS A CONVERSATION (ESK)-CHILD RIGHTS" DIALOGUE GROUPS ESTABLISHED. MEMBERS FROM THE FOUR BRANCHES OF THE ADULT SURVIVOR OF RESTAVK NETWORK (SRN) PARTICIPATED IN LEARNING AND SHARING EXCHANGE MEETINGS, TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO ACT TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST THE RESTAVK PRACTICE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND FORCE LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO ACT. A WORKSHOP ON MOBILIZING LOCAL RESOURCES TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-LED MOVEMENT ACTIVITIES WERE CONDUCTED, ALONG WITH THEMES RELATED TO BUILDING A COMMUNITY-BASED CHILD PROTECT STRUCTURES.

THESE ASSESSMENTS WERE FOLLOWED UP WITH INDIVIDUAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT VISITS AND TAILORED CAPACITY STRENGTHENING WORKSHOPS ON SUBJECTS LIKE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, PREPARING NARRATIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORTS DEVELOPING ACTION PLANS, AND ESTABLISHING VILLAGE SAVINGS AND LOANS GROUPS TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS AS WELL. TOGETHER THE SRN COLLECTIVELY CONDUCTED 17 MOVEMENT-BUILDING ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INCLUDING "ZERO RESTAVK" COMMUNITY AWARENESS-RAISING CAMPAIGNS IN TWO NEIGHBORHOODS, REACHING MORE THAN 1,800 FAMILIES. A TOTAL OF 27 CHILDREN RECEIVED VARIOUS FORMS OF SUPPORT INTERVENTIONS.

VARIOUS INITIATIVES IN NEW AND PREVIOUSLY ACTIVE COMMUNITIES MOBILIZED MOVEMENT ACTORS TO: 1) GROW THE BASE SIZE, DIVERSITY AND ENGAGEMENT; 2) INCREASE CAPACITY AND LEADERSHIP OF MOVEMENT ACTORS; AND 3) BUILD COLLABORATIVE- STRUCTURES TO ADVANCE SHARED AGENDAS. SIXTEEN NEW CHILD PROTECTION STRUCTURES CREATED. FOUR-HUNDRED-AND-ONE PEOPLE GRADUATED FROM 25 RURAL "EDUCATION IS A CONVERSATION (ESK)-CHILD RIGHTS" DIALOGUE GROUPS ESTABLISHED. GRADUATES REPORTED THAT: 1) THEY ARE NOW USING DIALOGUE AS THE PRIMARY FORM OF DISCIPLINE WITH THEIR CHILDREN (91%); 2) THEY DO NOT BELITTLE OR BULLY THEIR CHILDREN (OR OTHER CHILDREN) ANYMORE (83%); AND 3) THAT THEY HAVE GREATER LOVE/AFFECTION FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND/OR CHILDREN IN GENERAL (82%). MANY OF THESE GRADUATES WILL GO ON TO PARTICIPATE IN CREATING NEW COMMUNITY-BASED CHILD PROTECTION STRUCTURES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. FORTY-NINE CHILD PROTECTION STRUCTURES CONDUCTED ORGANIZATIONAL SELF-ASSESSMENTS TO IDENTIFY CAPACITY- DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO SUSTAIN THEIR MOVEMENT-BUILDING EFFORTS, INCLUDING MOBILIZING NEW COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND CONDUCTING ADVOCACY.

MULTI-DAY TRAINING WORKSHOPS WERE PROVIDED TO STAFF FROM ALL SEVEN SCHOOLS ON SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND PREPARATION, AND LITERACY.

THE COMMUNITY-BASED BRANCHES OF THE EDUCATION PLATFORM DEMONSTRATED INTENSIFIED ENGAGEMENT TO INCREASE STAKEHOLDER MOBILIZATION, PROVIDING CRITICAL LEADERSHIP TO BUILD THE MOVEMENT FOR UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN SEVEN COMMUNAL SECTIONS. REGULAR MEETINGS WERE HELD WITHIN THE BRANCHES TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED AND PROPOSE SOLUTIONS AND FOLLOW UP ACTIONS. DATA WAS COLLECTED ON THE STATUS OF CHILDREN IN THEIR COMMUNITIES REGARDING SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND ENROLMENT, THAT CONTINUES TO INFORM THEIR REVIEW AND REVISION OF ACTION PLANS AND INTERVENTIONS. IN A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES, EDUCATION STAKEHOLDERS MOBILIZED LOCAL RESOURCES TO FUND LOCAL EDUCATION INITIATIVES, AND TO SUPPORT KIDS TO ENROLL IN SCHOOL AND STAY ENROLLED IN SCHOOLS (115 CHILDREN). SEVERAL BRANCHES ALSO ORGANIZED FRIENDLY INTRA AND INTER-SCHOOL RECREATIONAL AND ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS.
