Monitoring and Evaluation skills

10/11/2017

 
We are developing our ‘Monitoring and Evaluation’ skills – our national coordinator has been collecting feedback from our children to start to understand the impact our programmes have. In January 2017, we interviewed 128 children who had taken part in our Jinja (Uganda) coaching tour 2016, as well as their coaches and teachers. Here is a summary of what we learned:
  • 65 are male, 61 are female (2 unknown)
  • 58 live with single parents/uncle/grandparent; 56 with  both parents
  • 119 would attend a health class
  • 123 gave a positive reason why they liked NDT (reasons they didn't like NDT were losing games, the weather and specific positions they played)
  • 121 gave positive feelings about the session (the other 7 were ‘pain’, ‘tired’ or  no answer)
  • 112 are still playing netball; mostly girls and boys together
  • Only 11 couldn't explain a difference NDT has made to their lives (discipline, have friends, feel happy, go to school)
  • Only 12 didn't feel they could talk openly about feelings with friends and coache​s​

Out of School Programme Pilots

10/11/2017

 
As the kids have 2 months off school for Christmas, our team are running coaching and sexual health sessions. "The kids are So excited about the program and we trust that this holiday long activity will help develop talent and nurture good behaviour among our children." We even had some street kids turn up on day 2, which makes us so proud that we're contributing to the community in Bungoma.

Kenya Pilots Sexual Health Agenda

10/11/2017

 
Kenya pilots sexual health agenda – Since September our Kenyan volunteers have been leading sexual health talks with the kids after playing netball. So far they have discussed rape, gender based violence and Cultural norms relating to gender and sexuality. The teachers are already noticing "how open the pupils have become while in the sessions. They give the team very positive feedback of how the girls are now finding it very easy to report boys and boda bodas (motorcycle taxis) who make sexual advances towards them. The pupils now know their rights and can speak out"

Kenya Uganda 2017 Tour Report by Katrina Burt

10/11/2017

 
​Having heard about the Netball Development Trust through an appeal they had for used kit, I looked them up online and after reading the blogs and watching some videos I immediately contacted them for details about joining the 2017 tour to Uganda and Kenya.  I was sent information and applied to join the team. The handbook was extremely helpful and after having a meeting with Julie (-who immediately settled any worries I had), II was ready to go.
 
After meeting at the airport and undertaking a very long flight we arrived in Uganda and made the trip over to Bungoma in Kenya. I must say that the various accommodations we stayed in throughout the three weeks were a lot better than I thought they would be, with comfy beds, warm showers and electricity (-most of the time!)
 
For me one of the main highlights of the trip was meeting so many amazing people. The Kenyan team were extremely welcoming and I felt to be in safe hands the whole time. The work that they, and all those involved with NDT, are doing out there is truly inspiring and I am thrilled to have been a part of it.
