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.

Theme: Women's empowerment
Project: Strengthening transitional justice processes in Burundi
Evaluation Date: August 2010
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

There was no explicit commitment on the part of the partners to achieving the project’s objective and results – as opposed to implementing the activities – and no formal agreement on operational standards. A formal Memorandum of Understanding between the three partners would have helped ensure more consistent implementation and follow-up of the activities regarding transitional justice in Burundi.

Theme: Rule of law
