Trevor Dudley, Country Director, The Kids League
“Sports for Development in Conflict Zones”
It has been a terrible 20 years for 1 million boys and girls of Northern Uganda whose only aim in life was simply to survive another day. A whole generation of children have grown up surrounded by conflict, with the poverty and injustice that this has created. Now, the introduction of The Kids League (TKL) in 8 conflict districts is bringing hopes and dreams to so many children to improve their lives. TKL are currently establishing programmes in the challenging conflict districts of Karamoja trying to use sport as a means of bringing children together and breaking barriers down.

Building on the success of the voluntary organisation Kampala Kids' League (KKL) he started in Uganda in 1998, Trevor Dudley was awarded an Ashoka Fellowship and is now using the power of sports to improve the lives of 25,000 boys and girls at grassroots level, with positive transmission of health and education messages. The programme has been particularly effective in inspiring children in conflict zones, some of whom have suffered considerable trauma. |

Davies Banda, Lecturer - Sports Development, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, York St John University
“Valuing Youth Voices in Monitoring and Evaluation: Africa and Europe Case Studies”
This presentation focuses on the experiences of working with youth and adults engaged in community-based adult–led youth initiatives and youth-led initiatives from two case studies: Africa and Europe. The study compares the involvement of African youths on youth-led collaborations to those of their counterparts in Europe and shares measures of best practice from both the south and the north, a shift from treating youth as mere recipients of services to engaging youths as active participants and implementers of programme objectives. It highlights the cultural contextualised problems that are faced in both case studies and how these are a hindrance to youth involvement.
