INTRODUCTION

****Plan International (UK)****is one of the leading international, child-centred community development organisations in the world with no religious or political affiliations. It supports interventions in 49 developing countries, benefiting over 11 million children and young people, their families and communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Plan’s work, informed by the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, is based on the recognition of children and young people as citizens with their own rights and responsibilities. In partnerships with them, their families, civil society and government, Plan supports their voices to be heard on issues that affect them, thus building understanding and promoting their rights to participate in and benefit from their societies. Plan UK’s mission is to transform the lives of marginalised children, especially adolescent girls, through our programmes and advocacy.

****Uganda Fisheries and Fish Conservation Association (UFFCA)**** is a private and legally incorporated company limited by guarantee and without share capital working for the emancipation and transformation of poor, vulnerable and marginalized lake dependent communities in Uganda.

In August 2011 UFFCA, with funding from DFID secured by Interact Worldwide – a small, UK-based NGO with a specialist focus on SRHR, began implementing the DFID-funded “****Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention among Fishing Communities on Lakes George and Edward****”. On 1st July 2013, Interact Worldwide formally ceased to exist as a charity in itself and merged with Plan UK, meaning that responsibility for completing and evaluating the project lies with Plan UK.

The projects main focus has been on empowering fishing communities to build mutual support and improving their access to SRH and HIV information and services; and increasing responses to the rights and needs of fishing community members living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) at individual, community and institutional levels. It aims at mobilizing, building the capacities and empowering fishing communities in the four districts to mitigate the impacts of HIV/AIDS by promoting their rights and advocating for services that they are entitled to in order to improve their quality of life.

BACKGROUND

Plan UK and UFFCA recognize the importance of basing programmatic decision-making, as well as advocacy efforts, on solid evidence and strong methodological approaches. We endeavor to draw on existing best practice, learning from experience and sharing with the development community.

The project was guided by a log frame and followed a monitoring and evaluation framework and process, enabling staff to review and assess project implementation and progress, in order to take appropriate action and promote learning.

A mid-term review was completed in May 2013, and provided a review of the project activities to date and progress made towards achieving the specific project outputs and outcomes as compared to the project baseline and targets. The results indicated that UFFCA had been able to mobilise the fishing community members into 11 Project Advisory Committee (PAC) groups, and had empowered these group members to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS by promoting their rights and advocating for the services they are entitled to for improved quality of life. By mid-term review 29,893 fisher folks had been mobilised into PACs, representing 62 percent of a 49,954 target. Gender representation was equally considered with 55 percent females and 45 percent males.

The project has ensured that HIV and SRH services are available to the fishing communities. Through engaging duty bearers at sub-county and district levels, the project has increasingly applied a rights-based approach. These strategies helped in effectively engaging the local leadership and duty bearers with HIV, SRH and rights so that they are able to respond to the needs of the fishing community.

The project is expected to meet the following outputs;

Improved awareness, access to information and knowledge about HIV prevention, SRH and rights among fishing communitiesIncreased capacity and involvement of community-based institutions i.e. BMUs, PTCs and PLHIV groups and networks in influencing, advocacy and engagement of duty bearers around HIV and AIDS, SRH and Rights in fishing communitiesIncreased access to and utilization of quality SRH, HIV and AIDS services i.e. prevention, treatment, care and support by fishing communitiesDecentralized and National Level Advocacy for HIV and AIDS interventions, SRH and rights in fishing communities undertakenIncreased organizational and technical capacity of UFFCA in programming and engaging with HIV and AIDS, SRH and rights issues in the fisheries sub-sector at all levelsCommunity generated lessons and stories documented for organizational learning and dissemination for sharing best practice in Uganda.PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of the end of project evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of project planning, implementation, how the various interventions contributed towards the project purpose and goal and how lessons can be utilized for future programming. The review will specifically identify project achievements and constraints; assess the key outcomes and/or impact of project interventions, document lessons learned and propose recommendations for improving the development, implementation and management of future programmes.

The evaluation should include both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis, using similar methods and tools to the baseline and MTR and following a final agreed sampling strategy to be proposed by the consultant. Recognising resource constraints, the data collection will be conducted in Kasese, Rukungiri, Kamwenge and Rubirizi districts. In Kasese the focus will be in the six fishing villages, in Rubirizi three fishing villages, in Kamwenge two fishing villages, while in Rukungiri one fishing village.

The Final Evaluation should have the following objectives;1. Has the specific project goal and outputs been achieved, in line with the milestones and indicators set out in the DFID log frame? What were the results and impact?

Did the project reach the intended target groups, and how did they benefit?
