Automated Directive System (ADS) 203.3.6.1 requires that end of project evaluations should be conducted when there is a distinct and clear management need to address an issue. This activity will undertake 6-8 mid-term and/or end of project evaluations for USAID PEFPAR projects. End of project evaluations will focus on those that are scheduled to end in FY2010. The purpose of the evaluations is to extract lessons that would benefit the USG/Uganda Team and GOU partner institutions with future programming either through extending or modifying current agreements, or ensuring that key lessons learned are built into existing or newly designed activities. Secondly, these evaluations will provide critical information to USAID and the USG in improving program design, management and implementation. The evaluation will also distill lessons learned about program implementation that will have a bearing on scaling up HIV/AIDS intervention and replication of similar intervention nationwide. Resources are requested to conduct program evaluations for key USAID supported projects including: End of project evaluation for "Food and Nutrition Interventions for People Living with HIV/AIDS NuLife Project", End of project evaluation of the "Capacity Project",

JCRC organizational effectiveness assessment, indigenous partner capacity assessments for JCRC, TASO, IRCU, Hospice, and ICOBI. The remaining are TBD pending PEPFAR priorities for ongoing programming.
