Background
The We Effect IMPACT Programme in Uganda is in a phase where strong monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning functions are essential to support quality implementation, accountability, and adaptive management. The programme works with multiple partners and stakeholders across agricultural value chains and requires consistent follow-up on results, indicators, evidence, and partner reporting.

Looking ahead, the role will support ongoing learning, reviews, and performance tracking, while also contributing to stronger partner capacity in monitoring and reporting.
