The Summative Evaluation of the Girls Empowering Girls (GEG) Urban Social Protection Programme for Adolescent Girls in Kampala
REFNo: SS5610ES
1. Assess the relevance of the GEG model, including how well it meets the needs of adolescent girls and its coherence with other efforts targeting adolescent girls
2 Assess progress towards intended outcomes of mentoring, referrals, skills building, education/retention, protection, and socio-economic inclusion
The evaluation will assess the extent to which the programme has contributed to improved outcomes for different beneficiary groups:
3. Assess the efficiency of the implementation of the programme and its comparison to other
existing models where feasible
4. Examine GEG's contribution to higher-level changes (Impact Contribution), such as policy reforms, reduced child marriage/early sexual debut, and improved transitions.
5. Assess the likelihood that results and strengthened systems can be sustained by KCCA, Government of Uganda, and partners. This includes identifying institutional enablers and bottlenecks affecting programme uptake, coordination, and the role of KCCA in facilitating service provision.
6. Examine system-level contribution. Assess the contribution of GEG to Uganda's broader social protection system, particularly its role in scaling gender-responsive, urban and rural social protection
7. Identify lessons, best practice, and actionable recommendations for scale-up and refinement of the model

Evaluation of HIV and TB programs in Kampala, Masaka-Wakiso, Fort Portal-Mubende and Soroti regions
REFNo: HS8157ES
The overall goal of this project is to identify the factors contributing to HIV infant positivity; evaluate effectiveness of programmatic interventions for returning to treatment among PLHIV who interrupt treatment and to explore the factors affecting access to bacteriological and molecular confirmation among TB patients before treatment initiation. The specific objectives are:
1. To identify the child, maternal and health system factors contributing to HIV exposed infant positivity in the CDC Uganda supported regions.
2. To evaluate the fidelity and effectiveness of the programmatic interventions for returning into treatment among PLHIV who interrupt treatment.
