The overall objective of the evaluation was to assess the operational logic of the mobile mental health service (the Smiles Mobile) and the National Child Diversion Programme and to determine the extent to which expected results were realized in light of the planned outcomes. The evaluation also assessed the relevance of the RJPSI to the sector and intended beneficiaries; the effectiveness and efficiency of implementation of activities under both components of the project. The sustainability of the project was also examined as these pilot activities were intended to be ‘rolled out’ as government programmes. Specifically the assessment sought to:
I.Document the operational processes and lessons learned in the execution of both pilot projects
II.Assess performance in terms of shared responsibility among stakeholders, accountability and appropriateness of design and provide recommendations for improving same
III.Recommend changes in strategy and process that should be incorporated to effect the desired long-term outcomes of the projects
IV.Develop a sustainability plan with practical strategies to support the project’s transition into the formal structures of Child Development Agency, Department of Correctional Services, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Justice without external funding.
