This Note from the Field provides an overview of the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Youth Education Pack (YEP) program in northern Uganda. The YEP program provides war-affected youth with literacy skills, life skills and vocational training. While the program emphasizes basic literacy and psycho-social support, the livelihood skills offered are an integral tool in helping participating youth successfully reintegrate into their communities. The note describes the experience of one youth participant in the program in northern Uganda.
