Review of ADC's engagement in Northern Uganda



Contract partner: AKIJUL - Enabling change Country: Uganda Funding amount: € 14.008,00 Project start: 02.07.2007 End: 31.08.2007

Short Description:

Overall goal


In Northern Uganda the ADC has focused its main intervention in the field of reintegration of former child soldiers, access to justice and the promotion and protection of human rights.

Most of those projects are coming to an end mid 2007. A review of past activities, their relevance, effectiveness and sustainability is crucial in order to decide on ADC's future line of intervention in Northern Uganda.

This review should be participatory hence including the participation of all implementing partners, important stakeholders and - in a best possible way - the local population of the districts of concentration of ADC in order to get concrete recommendations which should be the basis for the programming of future ADC's funding priorities in Northern Uganda.

The review should be seen in light of the Ugandan government proposed National Plan for Recovery, Development & Peace in Northern Uganda (PRDP). The recommendations should either complement, strengthen or even be already integrated in this Plan.

Given the volatile context of Northern Uganda the concrete recommendations for the future should focus on realistic endeavours taking the national priorities, the donor programmes, the experience gained from the projects as well as ADC sectors of intervention (ie. Governance (Justice, Law and Order as well as Decentralisation), Private Sector and Water and Sanitation) into consideration by explicitly assessing all available option vis-à-vis the overall targets of poverty reduction, environment, gender and democracy.

The review should be built upon an assessment of the projects and the findings of a participatory workshop with relevant stakeholders.

    • 1= policy is a significant objective of the activity
    • 2= policy is the principal objective of the activity
  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
