Report For The End Term Evaluation Of The Jobs And Livelihoods Integrated Response Plan (JLIRP) For Refugees And Host Communities

The JLIRP remained highly relevant to Uganda’s development and refugee-response priorities, addressing the critical needs of self-reliance, income generation, food security, and skilling in line with NDP III, Vision 2040, the CRRF, and other sector refugee
response plans. Interventions such as agricultural input support (with 32.7% receiving input support) and training on sustainable farming methods (24.5% trained) directly responded to livelihood gaps and contributed to reducing aid dependency among  refugees and host communities.
The plan’s emphasis on gender equality, disability inclusion, and support to vulnerable households further reflected its alignment with the “leave no one behind” principle.
However, as highlighted in the full report findings, variation in consultations and contextualization across districts limited uniform relevance, emphasising the need for more consistent district-level engagement in future planning cycles.
