In 2025, the Country Office conducted multiple field monitoring and partner support missions. These visits strengthened partners’ capacity to implement interventions effectively and ensured adherence to agreed project standards. The missions provided an opportunity to validate reported results, identify and address implementation challenges, and propose timely mitigation measures to reduce project risks. They also enhanced documentation of results and facilitated adaptive management by integrating lessons learned into ongoing programming. The Country Office advanced the development of the new Strategic Note (SN), following the near completion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2026–2030. As part of this process, staff engaged in Headquarters-led webinars to ensure alignment with the global Strategic Plan and where Uganda’s Cooperation Framework priorities and their linkages to the initial SN focus areas were articulated, particularly in relation to the evolving gender equality and women’s empowerment context. The Strategic Note and Biennial Work Plan were submitted and approved within the expected timeline by both Headquarters and the Regional Office. Notably, Uganda was the first country office in the region to secure approval in PRISM. Additionally, the Country Office continued its role as co-chair of the Results-Based Management (RBM) Group under the Resident Coordinator’s Office (RCO). Through this engagement, the office contributed to the development of the UNSDCF Theory of Change and the corresponding Results Framework, including outcome- and output-level indicators.
