The Prospective Country Evaluation (PCE) is an independent evaluation of the Global Fund commissioned by the Global Fund’s Technical Evaluation Reference Group (TERG). The PCE is designed to evaluate how Global Fund policies and processes play out in country in real time and provide high quality, actionable, timely information to national program implementers and Global Fund. This report provides an overview of setting up the PCE platform in Uganda, progress to-date and highlights early findings from the initial evaluation phase covering October 2017 – February 2018, which focused on the funding request and grant-making process for Global Fund’s 2017-2019 application cycle.
