Project: Empowering Female and Youth Domestic Workers in Uganda
Evaluation Date: September 2020
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Accessing Domestic Workers who are live-in, rather than live-out requires a different approach, given the difficulties in undertaking door-to-door engagement. There are still many domestic workers isolated and unaware of their rights.

Theme: Rule of law

Uganda Access, domestic workers, engagement, rights

Project: Empowering Female and Youth Domestic Workers in Uganda
Evaluation Date: September 2020
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Language barriers can be a challenge for engagement with Domestic Workers, producing material in local languages – written and crucially audio – is key for generating knowledge.

Theme: Rule of law

Uganda engagement, knowledge, language

Project: Strengthening Young Women’s Civic Participation and Leadership in Uganda
Evaluation Date: May 2017
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Projects should have a strong Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning system embedded in the project design with an appropriate budget to support it. There is also need for each project to have a baseline survey, mid-term evaluation and end-line evaluation on the same sample of project beneficiaries for consistence and to clearly trace results and impact.

Evaluation Date: May 2017
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

A stakeholder mapping and analysis conducted before the beginning of the project and updated during the project implementation would have helped to identify relevant stakeholders. The systematic use of the findings from such an analysis would have helped identify synergies related to the advancement of women’s political leadership, representation and participation and minimized the risk of duplication interventions.

Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Male perceptions regarding the risks encountered by politically empowered women within their communities need to change. Active involvement of men and boys in the needs assessment would have helped in identifying from the very beginning, specific risks related to sexual and gender based violence that challenged the project, and would have helped gain active support of young men in preventing SGBV and discrimination against young female leaders in Uganda.

Project: Strengthening Young Women’s Civic Participation and Leadership in Uganda
Evaluation Date: May 2017
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Six months after the end of the project in Uganda, beneficiaries were still expecting financial support and guidance from the grantee. Systematic and active involvement of the project beneficiaries during various follow-up activities could have enhanced their ownership and ensured their long term commitment to the project activities and results.

Theme: Women's empowerment

Uganda ownership, sustainability

Evaluation Date: May 2017
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Although the project partnered with universities in rural areas most activities were implemented from Kampala. Sixty three per cent of the project beneficiaries interviewed expressed an urgent need to reach more young women in rural areas of Uganda where the implementation of affirmative action is very limited. The project could have had a more significant impact if interventions had been stronger in rural areas.

Project: Strengthening Young Women’s Civic Participation and Leadership in Uganda
Evaluation Date: May 2017
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The international grantee involved implementing partners in Uganda – namely ten universities in three target areas – from the very beginning, in the design of the project objectives. This enabled good support during project implementation and a certain degree of ownership of the results among the universities. However, the project might have been more efficient at the implementation stage if a detailed memorandum of understanding among the partners had been formulated defining roles and responsibilities.

Evaluation Date: May 2017
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The project successfully established mentoring clubs in 10 public and private universities located in five districts in Uganda all of which are still functioning six months after the end of the project. More than half of the project beneficiaries interviewed indicated that they were still active as mentors supporting other young women.

Evaluation Date: August 2012
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The relevance of the project is questionable, however, in relation to the capacity building and empowerment of constituent CSOs who participated in the project. Insufficient attention was paid to the capacity-building needs of the CSO partners.
