In collaboration with the Government of Uganda and ESA, IOE is organising a National Roundtable Workshop in connection with the Uganda Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) on 12 July 2012 in Kampala. The objectives of the Uganda CPE national roundtable workshop are to:

• Discuss the main issues emerging from the Uganda CPE
• Provide inputs for the preparation of the evaluation’s Agreement at Completion Point (ACP); and
• Provide an opportunity for reflecting on key issues for the forthcoming Uganda Country Strategic Opportunities Programme (COSOP).

In addition to participating in the workshop, the IFAD delegation from Rome will visit IFAD-funded projects on 10-11 July, to gain an appreciation of IFAD’s and Government’s efforts in reducing rural poverty in Uganda. This will offer the IFAD delegation an opportunity to directly hold discussions with beneficiaries and their groups, project staff, district-level government authorities and others, as well as see project activities on the ground.
