The main expected results were:

1. Capacity built amongst UNRA and road fund staff;
2. Institutional systems improved or introduced;
3. Contractors and consultants trained.

The global objective of the Final Evaluation is to provide the Government of the Republic of Uganda and the European Commission (EC) with an independent and reliable assessment about the overall performance of the Ugandan Road SPSP-CDC and its impact on the management of the road sector in the country.
