Project Description
The portion of the review to determine whether those changes in the program or management strategies were needed in the final two years of the project would increase its impact in Northern Uganda, in light of the changing political and social context.

The review was conducted in four districts (Gulu, Pader, Lira, and Oyam), which were specifically selected from the list of nine NUMAT districts based on sub-regional representativeness. The study population included USAID staff, NUMAT staff, District Local Government officials, key civil society partners, and beneficiaries for both health facility based and community based services. The review team used largely qualitative methods of data collection of obtain information.
