A Project Steering Committee was set up to provide policy advice, guidance and direction. The Committee included representatives from central and local government, the private sector and community organizations. Project Technical Committees, composed of technical staff from the municipalities and key NGOs, were established to provide to complement the activities of the Project Steering Committee.
The Programme Management Unit was hosted by the NGO Living Earth Uganda. The advantages of this arrangement included: strong pro-poor focus, fast implementation, and active involvement of CBOs. The disadvantages consisted of: no scaling up, limited resource mobilization, lack of government access, and low engagement of the private sector.
The Programme has suffered from the weak design of structures, with unclear channels of communication, reporting, learning and accountability. This has affected the capacity to put in place concrete strategies to identify and mainstream key lessons learned from the pilot projects.
