This report describes the development and validation of the tool designed to measure proficiencies demonstrated by adolescents from 13 to 17 years of age in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, in the three life skills and one value. Furthermore, the report provides results from the large-scale household-based assessment that used the tool. The information provides the background for the assessment results that are needed to inform policy of the participating countries as they seek to include life skills and values in their national curricula. It emphasizes discoveries that show differences, in skill levels among demographic categories such as gender, age and educational background. The outcomes aim to guide policies promote the incorporation of life skills and values into national educational programs and add to worldwide understanding of evaluating these vital life skills and values.
