Baseline survey for diverse and resilient livelihoods for youth and women from refugee and host communities in Isingiro and Lamwo districts
REFNo: SS1547ES

Main objective
To establish baseline status of the selected indicators for the Uthabiti project impact, outcome and outputs.

b)To provide more evidence to describe the prevailing conditions of the target communities or populations in terms of their socio-economic wellbeing and self-reliance and refine intervention. This will provide the consortium team a deeper understanding of the context to tailor the interventions as well understanding how well or not, the proposed theory of change aligns with the demonstrated need of the target population survey.


c)To provide Uthabiti baseline indicator values that can be compared with the endline indicator values to measure the level of changes and inform future programing,, and


d)To integrate gender and social inclusion throughout the review.
