A Study of the Local Capacity Initiative in Uganda: Longitudinal Survey of Public Officials

The primary purpose of the Local Capacity Initiative (LCI) evaluation, including the Uganda case study, was to foster learning about how policy advocacy activities can contribute to increased access to quality HIV services for key populations and vulnerable groups. Public officials who were targeted by the LCI intervention were included in a survey. The goal of the survey was to assess the degree to which LCI activities have served as a resource to public officials, as well as their knowledge and attitudes towards SWs, MSM, and HIV service provision for these groups. A sampe of public officials were invited to participate at the national and district level. The public officials who were reached in 2016 form a panel that was followed up and re-surveyed in 2018.
