We wish to acknowledge the support and understanding of the UNDP Country Representative, Mr. Daouda Toure, and his deputy, Dr. Dan Temu, during the course of our work. Other senior staff of UNCDF and UNDP in Kampala also provided useful information. UNCDF Country Office provided us with relevant literature as well as logistical support. We would also like to thank the Ministry of Local Government, and in particular the Decentralisation Secretariat/ Project Management Unit, especially Mr. Mugabi (Director, DS) and Mr Onyach-Olaa (Co-ordinator, PMU), who provided us with detailed information about decentralisation in Uganda in general and the DDP/KDDP in particular. We would also like to thank the dedicated staff of PMU who responded to our requests for data regardless of the time and day of the week and also accompanied us to all the districts we visited. The Team is also thankful to the representatives of Uganda’s development partners, whose names appear elsewhere in this report, for their frank discussion of their organisations’ policies and how these relate to the development policies of the country. These discussions enabled us to see the project within the wider donor perspective of Uganda’s development in the context of decentralisation. We are thankful to all the participants of the two consultative meetings held in Kampala, one at the beginning of the Mission and the other at the end of the Mission. While in the field, we also received the full co-operation of district and sub-county political executives as well as their technical staff. Their frank discussions of the issues related to the project and readiness to allow us access to relevant documents enabled us to gain clearer perspectives of the performance of the Project on the ground. At the project level, the Project Management Committees that we talked to at various sites were more than prepared to give us the information we needed. And when the draft report was ready, the Team benefited from the constructive discussions that were held during the debriefing meeting at UNCDF Headquarters, New York. Subsequently, comments from UNCDF Technical Advisors (Local Government Unit), UNCDF Evaluation Unit, UNCDF Country Office, MoLG, Mukono District, and Mrs. R .P. Tumusiime (Commissioner for Agricultural Planning) were of great benefit in producing the final report. The Team alone takes the responsibility for the contents of this Final Report and any other weaknesses that may still remain herein. Finally, the Team is grateful to the Government of Uganda and the Project donors, namely UNCDF and UNDP, for having given us the opportunity to serve on the Mission.

The broad objectives of the evaluation, which guided the work of the Team, are set out in part 1 of the T.O.R., on page 2, quoted here below: 1. Assess the overall progress (or lack thereof) and detect early signs of success or failure; 2. Assess the initial project design and project relevance to the current situation; 3. Establish the likely impact of the DDP/KDDP on vulnerable and marginalised groups such as the internally displaced and persons with disabilities; 4. Examine the impact of DDP design/ objectives and mode of operation on on-going policy debate on and implementation of such initiatives as Universal Primary Education, Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture, Water and National Sanitation Strategy, etc. 5. Assess sustainability of implemented activities and/or exit strategies; 6. Assess the monitoring and evaluation system (including review and comparison of Project Performance Indicators, i.e. the SRFs and KPIs); 7. Set the course for the remaining duration, including the one year extension of the project; 8. Draw initial lessons learnt about project design, implementation and management. The four-member Evaluation Team was made up of two international and two national consultants, viz.: • Prof. Walter O. Oyugi (Team Leader): The Decentralisation Policy and Institutional Change Expert (University of Nairobi, Kenya); • Ms. Monica Ramirez: Poverty and Participation Expert (Consultant, Bogota, Colombia); • Mrs. Elizabeth Eilor: Gender Expert (Eastern Africa Sub-Regional Support Initiative for the Advancement of Women, Kampala, Uganda); and • Eng. Patrick Batumbya: Infrastructure Specialist (MBW Consulting Engineers, Kampala, Uganda). The Team assembled in Kampala on 14th January, and held its first briefing meeting with UNDP and UNCDF senior staff on 15th January. During its first week in the country, the team held meetings with government officials in Kampala and also met a cross-section of Uganda’s development partners based in Kampala. In between these meetings, the Team worked on the Inception Report – the instrument that guided the activities of the mission for the rest of the duration of their stay in the country. Between 22nd January and 14th February the Team moved in and out of Kampala to all the five project districts, viz. Kabale, Mukono, Jinja, Arua and Kotido. While in the districts, the Team held meetings with both the political and administrative leaders who are members of the District Executive Committee and District Technical Committee respectively. These meetings were followed with more focused person-to-person interviews with individual heads of departments/directorates. While in the districts, the Team also visited selected

  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

  • Uganda Humanitarian Update
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS AMID HEAVY RAINS, HUMANITARIAN ACCESS IN PARTS OF KARAMOJA AND TESO HAMPERED BY DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS OVER 1,000 CHOLERA CASES REGISTERED IN KARAMOJA SINCE APRIL 2010 90% OF IDPS IN NORTHERN UGANDA NO LONGER LIVING IN CAMPS, BUT LAND CONFLICTS AND LANDMINES IMPEDING RETURN IN SOME AREAS II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY The general situation in Karamoja remained fragile, according to the United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS). Cattle raids, including on protected kraals, particularly affected Moroto and Kotido, with some resulting in fierce clashes between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and the raiders. In South Karamoja incidents associated with food distributions involved theft of food and non-food items (NFIs), and attacks on food distributors as well as on food recipients. Following three road ambushes in Alerek sub-county of Abim District during the month, UNDSS issued an advisory limiting UN movement along the Abim-Kotido road to between 09.00Hrs and 16.00Hrs with effect from 28 June 2010. Three civilians were killed in one of those ambushes. In northern Uganda, Amuru District officials and partners carried out a joint assessment in the wake of a violent land dispute that occurred in Koli village of Pabbo sub-county on 23 June. Preliminary findings indicated that one person was killed and several others injured in the dispute involving two clans. Some 40 huts were torched and many members of either clan had fled the village. Also of concern in the region during the reporting period were raids by illegally armed Karamojong, particularly in Pader District.
