About GIZ:
As a federal enterprise, GIZ
supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of
international cooperation for sustainable development.
The Embassy of Ireland has
agreed with the Ministry of Education and Sports in Uganda to upgrade
facilities in 21 primary schools in the 7 districts of Karamoja to support the
objective of equitable access to basic education for Karamojong children. The
Embassy of Ireland Uganda invited GIZ International Services to submit a
proposal to support the upgrading of the facilities in the 21 schools.  The
Karamoja region is a semi-arid area and is the least socially and economically
developed region in Uganda. As many as 80% of the Karamojong live below the

region where over seventy percent (70%) of the population can neither read nor
write, the education performance of pupils at all levels is the poorest in

secondary level and primary completion rates are running at about 10%.

facilities in 21 primary schools in the 7 Karamoja districts. A full assessment
