KEY BUDGET NOTES

  1. High Programmatic Focus: 75–78% of the budget is allocated to direct program activities (training, survivor support, materials, research, media), ensuring maximum impact on beneficiaries.
  2. Leveraging Existing Assets: In-kind contributions from TSA-Uganda (Corps venues, volunteer champions, faith networks) and community resources (VSLAs, sports clubs) significantly reduce cash needs.
  • Year-on-Year Reduction: Year 2 costs drop slightly due to one-time setup (like manual development, initial trainings) and increased local ownership/sustainability.
  1. Value for Money: This modest budget (~$200,000/year average) delivers high reach (20,000 direct + 70,000 indirect beneficiaries), strong sustainability, and measurable results making it an excellent investment for continued donor support.
