In Uganda, four partners tested different models ranging from volunteers working 3-4 hours a week to those working between 20 and 50 hours per week.

• Kamwokya Christian Caring Community (KCCC) is working with Community-based Volunteers (CBVs) as HIV/AIDS treatment support workers. CBVs ensure that patients on Anti Retro-viral Therapy (ART) adhere to medication routines, give reports about side-effects and any opportunistic infections arising from such treatment. They also provide psychosocial support to clients and their caregivers. The project tested a tool for capturing information on the work of CBVs. It also established a volunteer forum to encourage peer learning and sharing of experiences, which also served as a forum for sharing concerns and rights of volunteers.
• Concern Mpigi Supported HIV/AIDS project implemented a home-based care model which focused on sharing and exchange of learning amongst home-based carers. It modified its recording and compiling of information and participation in community activities.
• Uganda Land Management is collaborating with the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS), to train farmer to farmer advisors. The underlying principle of this project is to empower poor farmers to demand and control agricultural advisory services.
• Rukungiri Functional Literacy Resource Centre is an ABET programme supported by CARE Uganda aimed at improving the role of the FA in building the capacity of the Resource Centre to link with different levels of government service providers.
