About GAPP Project:

democratic governance, yet for others it failed to deliver on the promise of

accountability and citizen engagement at the local level. Since November 2012,
USAID/Uganda (and later with DFID’s funding support) support a seven year
Governance, Accountability, Participation and Performance (GAPP) Activity,
implemented by RTI International with its consortium partners, namely:
Development Alternatives Inc. and Development and Training Services. The
objectives of GAPP is to enhance accountability within local government
institutions; to strengthen the Government of Uganda accountability institutions;
to improve local government governance; and to support civil society
organizations.
Purpose of the Assessment: This evaluation will review GAPP
performance between December 2012 and July 2016. The purpose of the mid-term
evaluation is access if GAPP interventions increased accountability and
