A. Howfarhavetheintendedoutputsbeenachieved?



Overall the project has made significant strides in accomplishing theplanned activities in 2011, which was

the climax of implementation of the

 project, as all the Implementing Partners and most of the resources

were in place to support the UN Agencies’ input. An estimated over 50% of the planned outputs were

deliveredin2011.



Significant progress has been registered in the components on building the capacity of civic and political

leadersin

B. ImpactoftheProjectonthetargetpopulation



Notwithstanding the achievements in 2011, validation of the impact of the project could not be explicitly

evidencedanditisanticipatedthatbytheendof2012andduringFinalEvaluationoftheprojecttheimpact

could be more visible than

at the moment. However, even within a period of about one year of

implementationsomeindicationsofimpactcouldbeobservedaslistedbelow:

i. There has been definite documented increase in crop outputs especially Maize, Ground nuts and

Beans.Thishasimprovedthefoodsecurityinsupportedhouseholdsandtheir

accesstomorecreditfacilities.Thispointstoemergingentrepreneurshipspiritamongbeneficiaries

oftheproject;

iii. Enhancing capacity of local leaders, media practitioners and Civil Society activists on good

governance geared towards promoting accountability has increased the involvement of media and

theleadersinsensitizingthepublicabouttransparencyin

useofpublicresources.

iv. Engagement of the local government technical staff in monitoring, backstopping and capacity

building of beneficiaries is improving project ownership, which is a positive step towards

sustainability. The local government staff themselves are able to  review and implement their

obligationsasaresultofthisinteraction.

v. The formation and training of Peace Rings was a phenomenal development that improved the

youth’s skills to mediate and resolve community conflicts without resorting to the local courts.

Reported incidences of conflicts in communities have reduced as the Peace rings are noted to be

approachable,easilyaccessibleandtheyunderstand

voluntarily. Cases of family land wrangles, drunkenness, child neglect and fighting in homes have

reduced over the eight months of Peace ring intervention. The Peace Rings have skills to mediate

and resolve community conflicts and link with the Police and Local

councils to refer more

viii. Most of the farmers who have received the training in the

post harvest handling techniques have

been able to improve the bulking and the marketing of their produce, which has translated into

better pay for some of the farmers. In addition, the farmers have been able to access a bigger

market for their produce as the most of their produce are now

 being bought directly from the

satellitecollectionpoints.



Overall the early signs of effects of implementation of this project among other development initiatives

point towards a move from crisis to recovery and normalcy in the targeted population. There are also

SECTION 2: PROJECT STRATEGY



2.1.Introduction

This project was conceived with the idea of contributing towards the early recovery in Lango sub‐region,

where support to returning communities had been minimal, as compared to the neighboring Acholi sub‐

region, both of which areas had suffered serious impacts of the two decades old civil strife in Northern

Uganda.

 Three years ago the cost of construction/rehabilitation of a km of murram road was about 4,000 US$. The current

government rate for marrum road of a good grade is 7,000 US$. The increase in the coat is as result to the increase in the

cost of fuel, equipments, cement and culverts and the exchange rate that affect the labor cost, which is estimated to about

30% of the total construction cost.
