Our Cross-Cutting Commitments
They are conditions we build into every cohort, because without them the core work fails.
Karamoja is drying. We do not train young people for livelihoods that the next drought will destroy. Climate resilience is a filter applied to every trade we select.
Employment is the most durable disincentive to raiding available to us. We target young men at the point of recruitment, mix cohorts across clans and across the raider and raid-affected divide, and treat reduced participation in raiding as an outcome we design for.
We address the real reasons young women do not finish training: pregnancy, childcare, unsafe accommodation and unsafe transport. Sexual and reproductive health information and referral is a safeguarding and retention measure, delivered through partners who hold the clinical mandate.
Clean books, published results, and honest reporting of what did not work. We are led by young people and answerable to them.
Given the young people we serve, safeguarding is treated as a precondition of delivery rather than a compliance formality, and no cohort will commence before it is adopted with a named focal person and a functioning reporting procedure.
