This study delves into the underexplored realm of school-business partnerships, focusing on their
implementation and impact in low-income and urban slum areas of Uganda. Partnering with Catholic
Relief Services and Imperial College, the study investigates how corporate volunteerism and resource
provision from businesses contribute to the improvement of educational outcomes and societal
development. Through a pilot initiative involving 13 schools and various businesses, the study examines
the structural advantages and disadvantages faced by school leaderships in managing such partnerships.
Utilizing data collected from corporate volunteers and school leadership, the study aims to fill the gap in
evidence regarding the effectiveness of business engagement in education and its influence on students'
academic and personal development.
