description The purpose of the study was to evaluate the Resilience project interventions and their effect on vulnerable households’ Standards of Living in Uganda with empirical Evidence from the USAID ICAN project. The research focuses on three objectives; to assess the impact of project livelihood interventions on vulnerable households’ standard of living in the Kigezi sub-region, to examine the influence of project nutrition interventions on vulnerable households’ standard of living in the Kigezi sub-region, and to determine the influence of governance interventions on vulnerable household’s standard of living in Kigezi sub-region. The study relied on secondary quantitative and qualitative data collected by the USAID ICAN project 900 respondents. Data was analyzed using Stata software to determine descriptive statistics (mean, average, frequencies) and the relationship between variables using Chi-square whereas Inferential analysis for a two-sample test of proportions for livelihood, nutrition, and governance interventions as well as adoptions at baseline and end line of the project, was conducted to determine whether the difference or change created by the project was statistically significant. The study findings revealed that households receiving and adopting livelihood and nutrition interventions had increased steadily depicting a boost in the resilience of vulnerable households’ standards of living whereas governance interventions had a slight increase from 2018 to 2022. This was affirmed by the chi-square tests where the computed significant value was less than the critical value of 0.05 for nutrition and livelihood sub-purposes contrary to the governance sub-purpose with a computed significant value greater than the critical value of 0.05 in 2018 and 2022. The two Sample tests of proportions for livelihood and nutrition sub-purpose were statistically different for both interventions and adoptions and even for governance adoptions but not governance interventions. The study concluded that the USAID ICAN project improved vulnerable standards of living much better in livelihood and nutrition sub-purposes, unlike the governance sub-purpose where the adoptions could be due to other external factors in addition to the project. The study further recommended a strong need for quality of training, increased duration of resilience projects, integration of services at the household level, and complementing facilitative approach with Pip approach and demonstrations for efficient livelihood, nutrition, and governance resilience interventions that enhance the resilience of vulnerable household’s standards of living.
