Evidence Library
A one-stop centre for child-rights information
The UCRNN Secretariat is a one-stop center for child-rights information in Uganda, home to our publications, research, training resources, annual reports, and media galleries. The Resource Centre exists to put credible, accessible knowledge in the hands of members, partners, policymakers, researchers, and the public.

UCRNN strengthens the capacity of staff, member organizations, partners, and communities to safeguard and protect children. Recent training programmes include:
Safeguarding training was delivered to the entire Secretariat staff and a number of partner organizations, equipping participants with the knowledge to recognize, prevent, and respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns as they arise.
A HAKI4ALL Training of Trainers (ToT) programme delivered to teachers and children in selected schools, using the HAKI4ALL book published by the Garcia Michel Trust. The training equips children with an understanding of their rights and responsibilities, what constitutes a child-rights violation, who is responsible for protecting children’s rights, and where to report when those rights are violated.
