The baraza project, initiated in 2009, is a government-led initiative in Uganda that aims to increase the quality of public service delivery through the provision of information and involvement of beneficiaries in project monitoring by means of providing citizens with an advocacy forum. This article provides a qualitative assessment of the self-identified pathways through which barazas are thought to influence public service delivery, as expressed by participant stakeholders. It also explores motivating factors behind behavioural changes of stakeholders, hindrances to achieving positive outcomes, and opportunities for the implementation of future barazas. ; CRP2; IFPRI3; 5 Strengthening Institutions and Governance ; DSGD; PIM ; PR ; 11 pages ; CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM)

This report describes the baseline data collected as part of a major impact evaluation of the Government of Uganda's Community Advocacy Forum (Baraza) initiative. The Baraza initiative's aims were to (1) strengthen governance and downward accountability within the public sector, and (2) ensure adequate space for ordinary citizens to participate in planning and monitoring of government services in their local communities. The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) engaged the Kampala office of International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), which proposed to assess the impact of the Baraza initiative with a mixed methods approach, using sufficient, representative, and temporal datasets to control for any biases and consistently estimate the impact of barazas in Uganda. A major component of the impact evaluation was a social experiment in the form of a clustered randomized controlled trial, for which a nationwide baseline survey was carried out in August 2015. ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1; F Strengthening institutions and governance; D Transforming Agriculture; CRP2 ; DSGD; PIM ; CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM)
