National Survey on Violence Against Children 2015

The Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development commissioned a national survey of Violence against children in 2015. The Uganda VACS was conducted under the leadership of MGLSD with funding from PEPFAR through USAID and CDC, TPO Uganda, and UNICEF. A technical working group led the planning process, including survey adaptation from a core protocol and data collection instruments that CDC provided. Preliminary study findings were released in February 2017 during a data to action workshop collaboratively organized by MGSLD, UNICEF and Centre for Disease control (CDC).
