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. The evaluation aimed to gather evidence to show the partners what the beneficiaries are gaining and whether the programme contributes to improving the quality of learning in STEM subjects and enhancing the uptake of careers in STEM fields.
