      abstract = {Among the various challenges that the Ugandan government  is facing to improve educational
outcomes and achieve  Universal Primary Education (UPE) in the country, is the  necessity to improve
the “quality of education”. Service  delivery in education in Uganda has been proven to suffer,  in great
part, from the “weakness of accountability  mechanisms between school administrators, teachers and
the  communities”. In order to assist national decision-makers  in solving these issues, a team of local
researchers set  out to test and assess the effectiveness of two types of  community-based monitoring
interventions in improving  general educational outcomes, using methods of randomized  controlled
trials (RCTs) on a sample of 100 rural public  primary schools in the country. This paper presents  the
main findings from this experimental impact evaluation  project.},
