In recent decades, the poverty rate in Uganda decreased by more than half, from 56% in 1992/1993 to 21.4% in 2019/2020. However, Uganda remains as one of the poorest countries in the world. Recognising that poverty is a multifaceted issue, International Care Ministries (ICM), a non-profit organisation, implements a program called Transform to target households living in poverty from 3 dimensions: values, livelihood and health. ICM first started the Transform program in the Philippines and recently expanded to Uganda and Guatemala. The program includes 15 sessions and delivers them to the participants during the course of a 4-month period. Previously, three randomised control trials found positive impacts of Transform on certain poverty indicators in the Philippines. Although positive impacts were found in the Philippines, the effectiveness of Transform in Uganda is unknown.
