EASTERN UGANDA – Wakiso District Woman MP and Shadow Minister for Gender, Labour and Social Development, Hon. Betty Ethel Naluyima, has joined the Parliamentary Committee on Gender, Labour and Social Development on a field assessment tour in Eastern Uganda to evaluate the impact of key government programmes.
The assessment focuses on the implementation and impact of the Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP), Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP), Social Assistance Grants for Empowerment (SAGE) and the Generating Growth Opportunities and Productivity for Women Enterprises (GROW) project.
The committee is assessing how the programmes are transforming communities and improving the livelihoods of beneficiaries through direct engagement and on-the-ground evaluations.
The exercise is aimed at examining how the government-supported initiatives are benefiting young people, women and vulnerable communities, particularly through access to livelihood opportunities and financial support.
The field assessment also provides an opportunity for the committee to establish the progress, challenges and effectiveness of the programmes in delivering their intended benefits to communities.
