Overview
This evaluation examined how the Techno Girl programme operates, and the determinants for its efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, impact, and sustainability in its furtherance. It assessed what has been achieved, and established whether the goals and objectives of the programme remain consistent with the needs and priorities of the beneficiaries.
