The main purpose of the evaluation was to measure the extent to which the project achieved its aims and objectives. The results from the evaluation will be used by UNICEF Pacific, project partners and other agencies seeking to improve education in developing countries to better understand what worked and what did not work and to document lessons learned that could be applied to similar projects.
