World Citizen Panel Oxfam is committed to capturing and communicating the effectiveness of its work, as demonstrated in the Oxfam Policy on Programme Evaluations,[1] the Oxfam Programme Standards,[2] and the Oxfam Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning principles (MEAL).[3] Alongside the conventional MEAL framework, Oxfam uses the innovative methodologies for community-led self-monitoring which is part of the GALShousehold methodology. Oxfam also uses a MEAL approach named the World Citizens Panel, now referred to as Impact Measurement and Knowledge Management, which was successful in a number of countries (including Uganda). This system includes a set of impact indicators and a toolkit to conduct surveys among a sample of project participants and control groups using mobiletechnology for data entry and statistical reporting. Indicators are tailored and specific learning questions for this project will be included.

The proposed logical framework with indicators will serve as the primary tool for monitoring and evaluation(M<(>&<)>E) as is being done with the current grant. The self-monitoring methodology that is part of GALS will be used, where individual community participants keep track of their progress in their diaries or their household or group diagrams. The data are aggregated and quantified, complemented with qualitative notes during the Participatory Gender Reviews indicated in the Indicative Workplan. The findings of these reviews will bepresented, verified and discussed during the international mid-term review workshop and again at the end of the project during the international review and sustainability workshop. An external evaluation is foreseen at the end of the project
OPA OI Basic Extended UP research Seafoo This project aims to provide a contribution to the research carried out by BASIC (Bureau for the Appraisal of Societal Impacts for Citizen information) on the distribution of value and power in food value chains.
At the beginning of 2017, Oxfam International has commissioned this study which is a first attempt # using a comprehensive methodology # to estimate and analyse historic and projected future trends in the distribution of value across a basket of food products purchased by retailers from international markets. It also aims at assessing the necessary changes in the distribution of value and/or consumer retail prices to ensure that small producers and workers can achieve a sustainable livelihood. By estimating the distribution of value within supermarket supply chains in 7 consumer countries for a sample basket of 12 common food products sourced from 16 producer countries, this study presents extensive new evidence that the socio-economic conditions for small-scale farmers and workers have worsened over the past 20 years, largely to the benefit of supermarkets and to a lesser extent international brands, and are likely to deteriorate further in the years ahead ina business-as-usual scenario.
Our research also investigated the opportunities to chart a different future, in which small-scale farmers and workers manage to make a decent living and realise their human rights, looking to what extent mechanisms and processes such as adequate statutory minimum producer prices and wages; increased bargaining power of small-scale farmers, workers and women; andredistribution of value along the chain, could provide effective solutions to the current situation.
Food Sovereignty in Coastal Communities Project:  Creating Enabling Environment for Promoting Food Sovereignty in the Coastal Communities of Karachi and Thatta District

Country Office 506708 Oxfam Novib Uganda The proposed project builds on the concluded 5-year Raising Her Voice Project (RHVP) which was conceived and designed to influence the Uganda Government to ratify and domesticate the Africa Union Protocol on Women#s Rights without harmful reservations; and to contribute to promoting the role of women in the decision-making processes affecting their lives. The five-year Project was launched in2008 and ended in March 2013. This project will be part of the 2nd phase of the RHV with started march 2014. Although the 2nd phaseof the project focuses on fostering Local women#s activism and leadership to advance Women#s land rights and fight against VAW, the3rd year of the 2nd phase of RHV will only focus on Women#s Land rights.

 This project aims to build onthis momentum by specifically building capacity of rural women and women leaders to be at the forefront of advocating for the issues impinging on their rights especially the right to Land especially land inheritance and succession rights. The project  will building women#s capacity to engage with the governance framework and cultural institutions at different levels so that functional land management structures are put in place and responsive to the needs of women.  It#s envisaged that the engagement ofwomen with cultural institutions and Legal framework will increase land accessibility for women as well and control. The voices of women  At local level, the project will be implemented in 3 sub regions of the Greater north , in the districts of Lamwo, Kitgum( Acholi region) Kabong and Kotido( Karamoja region)and Nebbi and Arua (Westnile region).  Given the situation of women in northern Uganda with regard to high land ownership injustices and other injustices against women, domestication and implementation of the Maputo Protocol is important to address gaps in policy, laws and implementation of programmes to address women#s rights. The project will focus on pushing for the implementation of the recently passed land policy.
Budget Monitoring This project builds on the results of the previous (and first) programme on participatory and transparent budgeting.
 It aims to enhance citizen participation, particularly of women, in elaborating pro-poor budgets both at the national level and in 30 municipalities (in 5 provinces). Focus is on the allocation of resources to the health and education sectors. To this end, GSB is also working towards the approval of a formal decree to the Malian law on budget; this decree will make civil society participation both structural and obligatory in the various phases of the elaboration of budgets.
 The project also aims to monitor the effectiveness of publicexpenditures in the health and education sectors (both at the national level and in the participating municipalities). It will develop gender sensitive analytical tools, which will be used by the members of GSB. The results of the budget research will be analyzedand communicated publicly. The conclusions of the budget analysis will also serve as a basis for citizen groups lobbying for betterallocations in the new budget cycle.
 In order to be able to reach these results, GSB will invest in capacity building (budget analysis and lobby) of its members and commissions, and also work to further improve its own functioning.

Innovative ICT for RuralCommunities ALIN In February 2012, the Dutch National Postcode Lottery (National Postcode loterij) approved the large and innovative Dreamfund project #Internet Now!# to be implemented in Northern Uganda. Oxfam Novib will implement the project together with 3 other project partners: Arid lands information Network (ALIN), Inveneo and Samasource.

The project is to bring services providing work and income to rural communities in Northern Uganda through reliable, affordable and sustainable high-speed connection to the Internet (providing information access through ICT). One hundred centers will be established to cover 9 districts in Northern Uganda (Gulu, Amuru, Adjumani, Moyo, Kitgum, Pader, Lamwo Nwoya and Agago). These will form a social enterprise following an innovative business model. Each center will offer solar powered workstations housed in shipping containers together with daily support and training by company staff andvolunteers. The centers will be interconnected to the internet through Wi-Fi technology.

The social enterprise to be created by the project will be set up as an independent legal entity established locally in Uganda of which the initial shares will be held by the independent Dutch not for profit Stichting internet Now! SINFA which is to be established in the second quarter of 2012. One of the goals of the project is to make the company self-sustaining so its activities and contribution to the local community can continueafter the initial 3 year funding for the project. . SINFA will provide income generating services in the centres, such as employment through micro work, a specialised form of business process outsourcing.  The centres also will give access to an agricultural commodity platform, and other services, all driven by specially designed information technology.

The innovative approach of the internet Now! project requires an intense level of collaboration between all parties which is expressed in the project management structurewith a project management team with members of all the project partners working together in Gulu, Uganda on a daily basis. Next to that a coordination committee with members of all project partners will be established for the project all as further set out in theproject initiation document.
