The quantitative and qualitative aspects of the study were used to assess the effectiveness of the Parish Development Model in providing financial support to vulnerable populations in Kapchorwa District. The results indicated that the majority of the beneficiaries felt that the PDM financial support was accessible and effective in enhancing household income, economic confidence, and livelihood resilience. The statistical results indicated a strong positive relationship between the utilization of the funds and the livelihood outcome. However, challenges such as delayed disbursement, funding adequacy, and implementation inconsistencies were established. From the conclusions that can be drawn from the research, it is evident that PDM has had a positive impact on the lives of the vulnerable population in Kapchorwa District. However, there is a need to enhance the timeliness of the fund disbursement, training, and monitoring to improve the effectiveness of the program.
