The Government of Saint Lucia and SSDF have expressed interest to evaluate the Koudmen Sent Lisi Program to learn from this pilot and use the evaluation findings to reform program design and scale up the program to national level.
However, given the information available about the Koudmen Sent Lisi program (available data, documents, reports, etc.), it is suggested that the evaluation objectives be the following:
- ascertain results to date, pinpoint the expected and unexpected outputs and bring all the evidence it can to qualify and quantify the outputs (and if possible the outcomes) at the household, individual and community levels.
- identify opportunities and constraints the program has faced and draw lessons and good practices from the Koudmen Sent Lisi pilot.
- to evaluate the operational effectiveness of the pilot including cost evaluation and costing its scale up in the current and projected national fiscal situation
- suggest ways, if needed, to re-design the program to better integrate it as part of the country’s broader social protection system with a view of greater efficacy and greater inclusion of gender and equity concerns
- identify implications and requirements (institutional capacity, coordination mechanism, etc.) for scaling up and rolling out a re-designed social protection program in a context of a broader and revamped national social protection framework.
The Koudmen Sent Lisi evaluation is therefore formative by nature and carried out around the needs of the identified intended users such as SSDF, Ministries of Social Transformation, Housing, Education, etc. The value added from this evaluation is expected to be achieved through the use of the findings in the ongoing and future national discussions about (a) reforming the social protection system in St Lucia supported by (b) re-engineered coordination, delivery and management mechanisms for social protection programs.
