The HIV Post-Conflict Project in Kapelebyong, Amuria District was an innovative project designed by Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) and Danish Red Cross (DRC) with new approaches to HIV/AIDS activities in Uganda. The project targeted the general population, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), former internally displaced persons (IDPs) and uniformed personnel with HIV prevention, care, and psychosocial support interventions. In February 2013, Prof. Narathius Asingwire of SEDC was contracted to conduct an endline evaluation of this initiative.
PROJECT TITLE
Final Evaluation of HIV Post-conflict Project in Kapelebyong - Amuria
To provide URCS and DRC with an assessment about the performance of the project, paying particular attention to the project design and the results of innovative approaches used in the project
1. To systematically and objectively determine the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of the project
2. To evaluate the impact attained by the project against its stated goals, outcomes, targets and indicators.
3. Evaluate the project implementation approach and design through identifying significant factors that facilitated or impeded the delivery of outcomes.
4. To assess the achievements of the program, particularly with regards to sustainability of the various interventions of the project
5. To draw conclusions and lessons learnt on the feasibility of the project design and the implementation as well as assessing possibilities of replicating or rolling out some of the key activities/components in future programming.
A predominantly qualitative approach supplemented by a scaled-down survey i.e., a quantitative approach was adopted in carrying out this evaluation. Random and non-random approaches were used in the selection of study participants. A desk review of key documents, personal and group interviews were the main methods of data collection for this evaluation. A structured questionnaire used at baseline was adopted with some modification to collect data from the general community, PLHA and uniformed personnel for the quantitative study. A desk review checklist, interview guides and a group discussion guide were used in collecting qualitative data.
