A Summary Learning report from the Uganda Country Programme about the impact of the country programme in Uganda (2009). This report is a summary of the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) report on the Uganda Country Programme in 2009. Evaluation reports are meant for learning, hence they focus on the outcomes and impact of the projects as well as their successes and challenges, rather than checking on project progress or money spent, which is done via progress reports.

Evaluations are based on questionnaires for different stakeholders. Depending on the country, the evaluation includes project teams reflecting on IICD's support), participants of trainings (reflecting on capacity development) and end users (reflecting on the projects they take part in).

The evaluation report below gives an overview of both the data collected and the discussions that followed in the Focus Groups. Though sensitive information from specific partners has been removed to maintain a trust relationship with and between partners, M&E reports are an honest representation of the processes and lessons concerning the Country Programme. In 2009, activities of the Country Programme were in three sectors namely: Livelihoods, Health and Governance.
