Cluster Evaluation (Phase 2) – case study: Ouganda, 2010

13/04/2010

Uganda was a pilot country for the introduction of the cluster approach. Clusters were formally introduced in the country in 2005/06. At that time, very little global guidance existed for the cluster approach. This created a range of particular challenges for its implementation in Uganda. At the same time, the experiences gained in Uganda informed the development of the cluster approach at the global level. This report assesses the operational effectiveness and main outcomes of the cluster approach in Uganda. It is one of six country case studies conducted for the second phase of the global evaluation of the cluster approach. The evaluation mission was conducted in September 2009, at a time when the clusters in Uganda were planning their phase-out and closure.
