The Endline Evaluation of CorpsAfrica's Community Development Interventions in Uganda (FY23/24)
REFNo: SS3428ES
The objective of the Endline Evaluation of CorpsAfrica's Community Development Interventions in Uganda (FY23/24) is to assess the impact, effectiveness, and sustainability of interventions implemented by CorpsAfrica volunteers across four districts—Buikwe, Lyantonde, Mpigi, and Kabarole. The evaluation aims to measure changes in community development outcomes, assess improvements in livelihoods, and document the role of volunteers in addressing the needs of these communities. Furthermore, the evaluation will capture lessons learned, identify best practices, explore community acceptance, and assess stakeholder contributions, ultimately providing valuable insights for improving and scaling similar community-led development initiatives in Uganda and beyond.
