About USAID Project:

as provide monitoring and evaluation services. The ultimate goal of the
Learning Contract is to support the mission’s achievement of development
results. The theory of change
underpinning the program is that if focused quality monitoring, evaluation, and
learning products and services are provided, then the Mission’s ability to
generate evidence for program planning, demonstrate effective learning and
adaptation behaviors, and build strategic development partnerships is
increased, contributing to the achievement of greater development results. By doing so, the Learning Contract hopes to
shape USAID/Uganda into a learning, adaptive organization, making the Mission a
more responsive, effective development agency.
