About INSPIRE
Background and Context
The INSPIRE Project is a child-focused initiative that addresses the urgent and long-term needs of conflict-affected children and youth living in Uganda’s refugee-hosting districts. Centered in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement, the project specifically supports children in selected primary schools across Zones 3, 4 and 5, using Evidence-Based Interventions (EBIs) to enhance education access, psychosocial well-being, and protection outcomes.
