Empowering Local structures
Advocacy by religious leaders to mobilize communities for services is vital. Religious leaders are empowered to engage district officials to address the challenges that hinder children and specifically OVC to access education, mobilize and sensitize communities to access services. Religious leaders are however faced with the challenge of cultural and social barriers in their advocacy work.
