SchoolNet Uganda (SNU) in partnership with the World Population Foundation (WPF) is implementing The World Starts With Me (WSWM) program. The WSWM is an adolescent comprehensive Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights program that is implemented in 150 secondary schools across the country.
The WSWM project cycle starts in January and ends in December of the same year. Half way the year, often in the 1st term holiday, a Mid-term review meeting is organized which brings together at least one WSWM teacher from each of the participating schools to reflect and report of the WSWM implementation at school level. The Mid-term review meeting also serves as opportunity for the WSWM teachers to meet as a family, share their successes, challenges and inspirational testimonies for the purpose of peer-to-peer learning .
The 2010 mid-term review meeting was held (26th -27th) April at Gayaza High School. It was attended by 115 participants representing 115 schools.
