Evidence snapshot for Uganda

Uganda's evidence base demonstrates impact across violence prevention, digital inclusion, gender equity in budgeting, and refugee women's leadership. SASA! Community Mobilisation Programme achieved a 52% reduction in past-year physical intimate partner violence in intervention communities through community activism. On digital access, ICT4PWD Programme trained 1,010 people with disabilities across 28 districts at 96.1% completion, while Uganda Rural Household Devices Project distributed solar tablets to 10,706 rural households across 54 districts, with one-third using the internet daily and two-thirds reporting income gains. Uganda's Gender and Equity Certificate mandated gender-equity assessments in all government budgets, achieving 70% average compliance by FY2026/27, and LEAP Programme increased refugee women's council representation from 10% to 48–54% in Yumbe and Adjumani districts, though barriers to leadership remain.
