Introduction  

Imagine a generation of African children and young people equipped to tackle local challenges creatively. To realise this, Action for Life skills and Values in East Africa (ALiVE), an initiative of the Regional Education Learning Initiative Africa (RELI-Africa), launched a parental and community engagement drive designed to create awareness and enhance capacity of parents, guardians and other caregivers to intentionally and actively support the development of problem-solving skills in their children and youths. The drive contributes to ALiVE’s vision of an East Africa where all children are equipped with life skills and values, to support their learning, working, and living. The parental engagement drive that is taking place in Kenya, Mainland Tanzania, Uganda and Zanzibar during the course of May-July 2025 kicked-off in Uganda on 8^th May 2025.  The full blog can be accessed at: https://reliafrica.org/nurturing-young-minds-alive-drive-to-support-parents-and-communities-to-cultivate-problem-solving-skills-in-east-africa/
