External Evaluation – Improving the local response capacity and strengthening the resilience of Congolese refugees in Western Uganda

Between June – November 2020, Key Aid Consulting conducted an evaluation of a Refugee Response project that was initiated in December 2018 by the Belgian Red Cross – Flanders (BRC-FL) with funds from the Belgian Federal Government (DGD). This project was responding to influx of refugees into Uganda and Rwanda that was triggered as a result of inter communal conflict in the North Kivu and Ituri provinces of the DRC. In Uganda the two refugee settlements of Kyangwali in Hoima district and Kyaka II in Kyegegwa district were targeted, while in Rwanda, the Nyabiheke Camp in the Gatsibo district was targeted. This evaluation used desk review, remote key informant interviews and focus group discussions that were conducted by local enumerators that were remotely trained by Key Aid Consulting staff.
