The Uganda Women entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP) was initiated by the Government of Uganda in 2016 to help the poor and vulnerable women improve their welfare. In 2020, the government of Uganda, through MGLSD and in Partnership with CARE International in Uganda “CARE” commissioned PADRI to undertake the process evaluation study to better inform the next phase of the programme. The main objectives of the process evaluation were to:
Analyse the programme operating context and establish whether objectives, activities, outputs, outcomes are still valid; ascertain if the inputs and outputs of the programme are as planned, within the programme guidelines/design; identify potential enabling and inhibiting factors that affected programme implementation in the first phase. It also involved analysing in detail the validity and effectiveness of the first phase implementation processes, resources, systems and structures; assessing the validity of the entire Project Cycle Implementation plan to stir achievement of outcomes and PDO in the second phase; and to identify key lessons from the first programme implementation phase; and suggest realistic implementation design.
A mixed-methods approach was used and the evaluation highlighted both strengths of the programme in supporting women group enterprises as well as factors hindering UWEP implementation.
