The Skills, Attitudes, Governance and Anti-Corruption Project (SG+) is a pilot initiative with a total budget of 5,000,000 EUR, financed by the European Union under the Inclusive Green Economy Uptake Programme (GreenUP). It was implemented by Enabel in collaboration with the Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU), a leading private sector body. The project addresses key constraints to Uganda’s business environment and aims to bolster a constructive dialogue on economic reforms. Its overarching goal is to help make the business environment more conducive to inclusive and green investments by increasing the supply of qualified workers and strengthening private sector-led initiatives to fight corruption. The two specific objectives were to equip graduates entering the labor market with adequate skills and attitude for productivity in companies engaged in the green economy, and to improve evidence-based dialogue and advocacy within the private sector to combat corruption. Key results included making a Work Readiness Program (WRP) accessible to young graduates, enhancing the capacities of private sector companies in e-procurement, and implementing corruption reporting mechanisms.

This End-Term Evaluation was conducted for the dual purpose of accountability and learning, seeking to identify project achievements and generate insights for future programming. The evaluation covered the full implementation period, from December 2020 to December 2024, and spanned all communities across Uganda where activities took place, including Kampala, Mbarara, and Wakiso. The analytical framework relied on a comprehensive assessment of all six DAC criteria. The evaluation specifically focused on the two project components: the Work Readiness Program (WRP) and the Governance and Anti-Corruption (GAC). Further cross-cutting issues examined included the project’s integration of Gender Equality and Environmental sustainability, and its contribution to promoting decent work and accountability within companies and public institutions.
