BACKGROUND
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
Habitat for Humanity Uganda (HFHU) is a non-profit organization established in 1982. It is part of the global Habitat for Humanity network, which aims to provide affordable and safe housing to families in need. By strategically contributing to community impact, HFHU ensures that poor and vulnerable partner families have adequate and affordable houses, secure tenure, and access to basic services. Their market system approach in the housing sector further enhances their contribution to building sector and societal impact. This approach involves media engagement, advocacy, and system change, which are crucial in addressing poverty and improving living conditions in Uganda. Through these efforts, HFHU not only built homes but also empowers communities by promoting sustainable development (SDG 6), improving livelihoods, and fostering resilience. HFHU’s comprehensive approach makes a significant difference in the lives of many Ugandan families, helping to build a better future for all.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
HFHU’s participation in the campaign focused on addressing the lack of empowered participation, essential services, and tenure security mainly triggered by rapid urbanization growth rate. Uganda’s urbanization rate is approximately 5.2%, one of the highest in Africa.1 This rapid urbanization is driven by a high rate of rural-urban migration, particularly among the young population2. Currently, around 26.77% of Uganda’s population lives in urban areas. As part of the Home Equals campaign, HFHU with funding from HFHI-Global Affairs implemented a 2 years’ demonstration project within the informal settlement of Kamwokya in Kampala City and Kumi rural settlement.
PROJECT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
An ultimate goal of the project was to advance equitable access to adequate housing and essential services by promoting empowered participation, access to basic services, and tenure security within informal settlements.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the overall project performance against its desired impact and outcomes, thereby identifying successful elements and areas for improvement. Furthermore, the insights gained will guide the future direction and initiatives of HFHU, ensuring transparency and responsibility to both stakeholders and HFHI-Global Affairs. It contribute to HFHU program strategic areas of Habitability, Basic service and tenure security. It is also a critical step in qualifying for subsequent grants from HFHI-Global Affairs, which will support the expansion of pioneering and proven approaches from this Home Equals Campaigns` project phase.
