This Uganda study is one of three case studies commissioned by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD, examining the Mainstreaming of Gender through Sector Wide Approaches in Education. The other two focus on Ghana and India. The studies were commissioned in response to the recognition of the linkages between gender, poverty and education; and commitment to achieving the development targets through more effective assistance through SWAps. The three studies in education will be synthesised, and will feed into a broader study that looks also at gender mainstreaming in the health and agriculture sectors.
