The Evaluation Capacity Development Project

The ECD Project started in April 2012 and is implemented by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), in cooperation with GIZ. The objective of German support is for ministries, public institutions and civil society organisations to use professional monitoring and evaluation for decision making, in line with international standards. In the first programme phase (2012 – 2014), focus is on creating necessary preconditions for conducting professional evaluations in Uganda. The Project has four Intervention areas: Awareness-raising; National Evaluation Standards; Evaluation training; and a Master in Evaluation. (More information: http://ecduganda.wordpress.com/)
