The purpose of the evaluation was twofold:
1) to evaluate the effectiveness of the UNICEF’s Early Childhood Development (ECD) kit interventions on children’s psychosocial well-being, early learning and development in a humanitarian context; and
2) to evaluate the relevance and effectiveness of different approaches for improving caregiver interactions with children and the use of the ECD kits for early learning and development.
Specifically, the evaluation examined the interventions being supported by the UNICEF Uganda Country Office and its partners on behalf of the South Sudanese refugees and their host communities in the Bidibidi refugee settlement in the Yumbe district of northern Uganda.
The primary objective of the evaluation was to document and analyse the benefits and challenges of the ECD kit interventions for children and their caregivers through a formative evaluation design that could yield judgments on the effectiveness of different training approaches.
A secondary objective of the evaluation was to assess the relevance of the ECD kit interventions in relation to the country and programming context.
