Broadcasting the spot was donein January 8, 2018 and continued for a period of one month on Radio IsangoStar inNyarugenge district and Izuba local community Radio inKirehe district

(these werecontracted with AJPRODHO to implement this activity). The message aired focused on prevention of Physical and Humiliating Punishment and is targeting the whole community

by requesting them to always apply Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting. We hope that with this message to the community, project target beneficiaries will change their mind-set on

the use of Positive Discipline by avoiding the use of Physical and humiliating punishment in everyday Parenting. With agreement with Save the Children, We decided to focus on Prevention

of Physical and Humiliating punishment though the activity was meant to focus on child violence in general because the project main emphasis is on Positive Discipline mainly the Prevention

of Physical and Humiliating Punishment. We thought that broadcasting this spot in large period rather that in short period of time because auditors will have time to edit the message and

what is intended to. These are the hours the spot broadcasted on Radios: for 1 month on Radio Isango star in Nyarugenge district staring from January8,2018 at 06h15am, 09h00 am,

2.2.3.3 Facilitate1 day workshop for IZUs to develop data collection and reporting forms and train IZUs on their use) were substituted into one activity which is the

awareness raising meeting of Inshutiz’Umuryango on Positive Discipline. This resulted from the agreement with Save the Children and National Commission for Children because they have

the same activities in both districts and to avoid duplication we agreed on the implementation in that way. The awareness raising was conducted to 120(70 males and 50 females)

coordinators of InshutiZ’Umuryango at sector and cell levels in both Nyarugenge and Kirehe districts.The number Inshutiz’Umuryango in Kirehe district was 60(38 males and 22 females)

whilein Nyarugenge district were 60(32 males and 28 females). They were all coordinators from sector and cells in 10 sectors of project implementation in both districts. In collaboration of

Save the children staff who are in both districts, they were invited then message on Prevention of Physical and Humiliating punishment was delivered to them. The purpose of this

sensitization was to empower them with basic knowledge on Positive Discipline as they are the ones who are always in charge of following activities related to child protection in their

18

respective areas. They daily to day report on children related issues, consequently PHP message has to be in their package so that they could always report on it. .The Inshutiz’Umuryango

coordinators appreciated the knowledge acquired and committed to continue cascading this message in their day to day package concerning Child protection related activities. With support

from Save the children staff who follows them, they agreed to make a schedule of cascading the knowledge to Inshutiz’Umuryango who are based at village level and this will be done at

the beginning of 2018. “One of the major challenges we are facing with parents concerns to find the alternative to give parents in the way they punish their

children. With this message on Positive Discipline, now the direction is clear to us and parents” Said Alphonse the IZU from Kigali sector.Here are some photos of the

activity:

Enter narrative or comment here: This consultation meeting with project staholders conducted on December 22,2017 was a good moment to assess the achievent

,lesson learnt and plan together the second year of the projet activities.

The project team in both districts organized the conslutation meeting with local leaders and represenatatives of project target beneficiaries .A total 120 (62 females and 58

males) participants attended the meeting in both districts. In Nyarugenge they were composed of 60 (34 females and 26 males ) categorized in Community parents

facilitators, local leaders,representatives of Inshuti z‟Umuryango, and church leaders from district and 5 sectors.In Kirehe district they were in total 60 (28 females and 32

males).

The project team presented to the participants what has abeen achieved in 2017 and the planned activities in 2018.Then after participants were given time to go in group

works according to their sector to discuss what they appreciated on the project,ares of correction andf their recommendation and improvement needed in the forhcoming

preiod.In general the meeting was was fruitful as it provided an image of the project implementation in general and how it is appreciated by the communty ,leaders and

partners.

Here somes appreciation on the project:

The training packages or message was very important,

Cascading training both parents in the family is fruitful,

Handouts given to the parents,attendance in the training was excellent,

Selection criteria of the community parents who were trained on Positive Discipline model,

Community was given a space to contribute on the implementation of the project.

Areas of improvement:

To provide the reasonable transport refund for community/parents facilitators while training parents as what they received was less than the amount given to the

parents

To provide badges,ID or T-shirts to community parents facilitators

Provide refreshment to the community parents facilitators while training parents

Community Parents Facilitators wished to have the training certificate on PD

They wished that while training parents, both mother and father at home need to attend the training on PD so that they can all feel accountable

Recommendation

Extension or scale up of the project PD in other remaining sectors of the districts and more specifacly in classes

Parents Facilitators need some materials to help them like an umbrella, bags and transport facilitations.

Parent Facilitators need some facilitation means in terms of communication and transports means i.e Telephones and bicycles units to make follow up of the trainees

and families.

Need to train youth on Positive Discipline model especially those who make poems, songs, (Abahanzi) so that they can put the message in their compositions.

What has been Save the Children‟s contribution towards the change? And what are the partner‟s specific contribution towards that

change(s)? Always name the partners.

Describe why the change(s) is important and for whom?

What evidence of the change(s) if any?

Answer here..

We can confirm that people‟s mind-set Vis à-vis Positive Discipline in Every day Parenting are changing. This can be illustrated by the

commitment of various leaders and how they started cascading the message to their neighbours and fellows and how their

commitment to practise it.

“I recommend this message on Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting and prohibition of Physical and Humiliating Punishment

to be used in UmugorobaW’ababyeyi (Parents’ Evening Forum) in all villages in Nyarugenge districts because it is what we want to

teach our families” said the Director of Good governance in Nyarugenge district during the awareness raising meeting on September 21,

2017.

Save the Children contribution to change is that it has provided guidance and technical support to the project implementation. More

specifically, Save the Children trained implementing partner‟s staff who are AJPRODHO, UMUHUZA, Children Voice Today and

CLADHO-Coalition Umwana ku Isonga on Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting. Various tools like handouts were provided to

all partners by Save the Children to serve in trainingts and awareness raising activities.Daily guidance, coaching and planning together

and monitoring project activities has also contributed to project implementation towards the changes it is targeting.

Various partners contributed to the journey of change to be brought by the project ,namely National Commission for Children,

National Women‟s Council ,National Youth Council, Coaltion Umwana Ku Isonga ,World Vision ,Umuhuza ,Children Voice Today

.The teamwork and working groups from these mentioned partners contributed to community and leaders mind-set changes on

Positive Discipline as well as its practices in everyday Parenting.

The eveidence of change is that local governement insitution and communities started putting Positive Dicipline on agenda of

everyday‟s sensitization .As illustration ,currently in Nyarugenge district ,Positive Discipline is one of the topics being covered by the

Evening of Parents and this discusiions are guided by community Parents facilitators trained by AJPRODHO –JIJUKIRWA .

Challenges and opportunities

Instruction:

Please describe in relation to your intended intermediate outcomes where there has been lack of progress and why, as well as

significant barriers and hindering factors when implementing programme activities on this level (civil society strengthening)

23

Please describe any new or unanticipated opportunities which have emerged on this level during the year?

Please describe how the challenges and opportunities on this level will influence the future of the program.

Answer here….

So far no much challenges encountered during the project implementation,but We can highlight that the activities related to child

protection require jointed efforts and facts from all stakeholders and sometimes bring controversy in implementation especially when it comes to Positive Discipline and prevention of physical and Humiliating Punishment. This is because they deal with people‟s normal practices, mind-set change and always touch on people‟s everyday life that are also linked with their background, culture and experiences.

Another challenge is linked to the limited budget allocated to field activities( field allowances and Fuel) does not allow the head

office team to properly monitor field activities and support project officers as some activities require much support. E.g. Mission

allowances for M&E and coordination of field activities is only 39,000 RWF per quarter whereby the monthly budget of fuel for all

project activities isonly 120,000 RWF to cater forfacilitation of 9 (3 permenaent and 6 supporting )staff who are linked to the

project implementation.

To address this ,requires to increase the field allowance and fuel budget so that the monitoring of project activities can be done

properly.

The opportunities of the program is that Positive Discipline intervention is being appreciated by all stakeholders in all districts and

they are requesting the intervention to be extended all areas for the future asit is highly solicited in schools because use of Physical

and Humiliating Punishment and Child abuse are still observed ( as Witnessed by project various stakeholders in all districts).

It is necessary to continue thinking about extending project activities in school as requested several times .This cam be done

through designing new project or allocatong new budget to the existing budhet that can cater for this activity in school.

emphasis on Prevention of Physical and Humiliating Punishment. All of them received handoutscontaining the message that will be used on day to day in

delivering the message to the target beneficiaries. The participants appreciated the training and committed to cascade the knowledge to the community

parents. “Now, I understand what to be a parent means. We have been using our own emotions and background to raise our children without considering their views,

emotions and developmental stages” said one parent who attended a training of community parents‟ facilitators in Kirehe district on September 27, 2017. She

further added, “I think this is the right time for all of us to change our mind-sets and to practice positive parenting. I know it is a long process but it is possible and

necessary.” The knowledge acquired helped them to cascade the training to 1000parents and caregivers as illustrated in the next activity 2.3.2.1(Cascading

training for 100 parents in both districts).Here are some photos:

Challenges and opportunities

Instruction:

Please describe in relation to your intermediate outcomes where there has been lack of progress and why, as well as significant

barriers and hindering factors when implementing programme activities on this level (Empowerment of individuals and children)

Please describe any new or unanticipated opportunities which have emerged on this level during the year?

Please describe how the challenges and opportunities on this level will influence the future of the program.

Answer here...

So far no much challenges encountered during the process of training community parents facilitators and poarents.

Few are wishes linked to faciliatation like:

To provide the reasonable transport refund for community parents facilitators while training parents as what they received was less

than the amount given to the parents which was not budgeted for

To provide badges,ID or T-shirts to community parents facilitators so that they can be recognized as people serving AJPRODHO

in community

Community Parents Facilitators wished to have the training certificate on PD and this has an impact on budget in future planning

They wished that while training parents, both mother and father at home need to attend the training on PD so that they can all feel

accountable

3. Cross cutting issues

3.1 Gender Equality

Describe how you have worked with gender equality in the program? What actions have been taken during the reporting period and what

challenges have you met?

Child abuse affects girls and boys differently and they are commonly subjected to different types of Physical and Humiliating

Punishments. Positive Discipline concerns both girls and Boys. Gender barriers also affect parenting attitudes that is why in

implementing this project, we ensure that the project approach and specific interventions effectively address gender specific issues.

The project implementation activities like data collection and reporting, make gender disaggregated data an obligation since it helps

to ensure that girls and boys, men and women are proportionately targeted. Both male and female were considered in Project

activities so far carried out like the project launch, awareness raising meetings, and selection of community parents‟ facilitators who

were trained on Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting. The implementation plans conceived in such a way that they allowed both

men and women to participate. For instance, out of 80 community parents facilitators who were selected and trained on Positive

Discipline 45 (56%) are women,again among 1000 parents trained on Positive discipline in everyday parenting , 524 are females

which is 52.4% while 476 which is 47.6 are males. Our sensitization and awareness raising activities require the community and

parents to protect both boys and girls while taking into account how different forms of violence and abuse affect girls and boys

differently.

So far no challenges met in terms og gender equality

3.2 Environment

a) Describe the action/s taken to ensure that the program has been implemented in a way that minimize its use of natural resources

and its potential negative consequences on the environment.

36

b)Describe if and in what way the program has contributed to (i) reduce the impact of environmental and climate issues for children

and communities and (ii) any initiative/s to address causes of environmental problems.

The Government of Rwanda is active in environmental issues and has a policy framework that protects the environment and

minimises the likely effects of climate change. In the implementation of project activities, we continued building on the

Government of Rwanda‟s efforts to make sure that the environment is protected. The project‟s beneficiaries and staff were

always reminded to protect the environment thereby minimizing climate change by abiding by Rwanda‟s environmental

protection policy.An example is the effective use of vehicles for project related work, and not using plastic bags or throwing

used water bottles everywhere.

3.3 Conflict Sensitivity

Describe initiatives in the programs taken to (i) ensure that the program doesn‟t contribute to violent conflicts, i.e. dividers and

sources of tensions, and (ii) any proactive work to strengthen communities‟ capacity for peace.

There is no conflict within Rwanda though peace and reconciliation has played an important role in recent government and

international organisation programming.

During the project implementation we were sensitive to the potential for local conflict when exploring and challenging

cultural norms and practices.For any activity to be implemented we made sure that the activities are planned together with

loca;l government entities and representatives of community and we proactively made risk assessment that can be source of

tensions and explored the areas of strengthening and unite their peaceful ways of living.

3.4 Non-Discrimination and Inclusion

Describe how you have ensured all children, without discrimination, have equitable access to programs, resources and activities.

AJPRODHO, as a human rights based organization, always tackles discrimination and exclusion in all its programs and advocates for

inclusion. Project partners and staff work within areas of marginalization and project activities handle root causes of discrimination. In

project implementation, staff, leaders, parents, CSOs and children were always reminded to identify and protect the most vulnerable

children more particularly those with disabilities and marginalized ones.

Project staff and community parents‟ facilitators who interact daily with our target beneficiaries have the experience of working with

the most marginalized and vulnerable children. This supported a positive and proactive approach to identifying and supporting

discriminated children

4. Program management

4.1 Program implementation

a) Describe any major deviation in relation to program implementation? Explain why did it occur? (Deviation, Delays, cancelled

activities, major shifts in focus?) No major deviation happened during the project implementation. The minor changehappened

37

that we can communicate is linked to the activities that were planned to be conducted to Inshutiz’Umuryango. After

analysing together with National Commission for Children and Save the Children, We came on agreement that the activities

related to the training will be changed into the awareness raising on Positive Discipline .This was decided because they were

similar with the ones implemented by Save the Children and National commission for Children on the same group in the

same districts and this was done in order to avoid duplication.

b) Describe any relevant changes in the management and coordination of the program?None

4.2 Risk Assessment - Follow-up

5. Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning

Reflect on your MEAL activities and plan (for example data collection on indicators and progress markers, reviews, evaluation studies,

monitoring visits, accountability mechanisms - especially in relation to children -, etc.) Have these provided you with the information

you need to inform decision-making and understand what progress and results are being achieved?

If not, reflect on what MEAL activities you would need to carry out.

Have you identified any areas which should be studied/assessed in greater depth? What? When? Why?

For this area our focus is monitoring and learning in project activities as described below:

As AJPRODHO,A project coordinator was responsible for overseeing the implementation of the program, budget holder and reporting

responsibilities. The Coordinator Who is based in Kigali had time to go to field to follow up project activities and provide support to field

officers especially in training meeting and monitoring the implementation of project activities.

Monitoring project activities:

The project coordinator with support from Monitoring, evaluation and learning officerundertook monitoring on a regular basis. This

included monitoringof field officers to address issues of staff capacity, systems and skills as required. The following strategies were used to

monitor the activities of the field officers.

Work plans: Field officers shared their weekly/monthly work plans with the project coordinator so that the he knew what activities

were being implemented at what time and where there are delays. With work plans in place, He was be able to know where they can

offer support.

Reporting:Weekly, Monthly and quarterly reports were generated by each officer at the end of each month and quarter from which

the project coordinator compiled the overall quarterly and annual report both financial and narrative

Meetings:Monthly project meetings were organised where all field officers and project coordinator come to gather to share

achievements and challenges. During this meetings, next month priorities were also be set.

Monitoring: In collaboration with Save the Children MEAL officer, Quality Benchmarks were developedto ensure program activities are

carried out following agreed processes and result in quality outputs and outcomes..

39

Learning:A consultation metting with key prject stakeholders and leaders was conducted at the end the year. It awas areal time to

reflect project achievements so that beneficiarie are able to know what impact have been made ,challenges met and had time to plan

together for the next year activities.
