The purpose of this evaluation as described in the Terms of References is to “review and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of the programme on the prevention and reduction of incidents of violence against children in the school setting and the creation of a safe educational environment in Kyrgyzstan. Furthermore, it is to evaluate the role, contribution and impact of every component of the programme in order to feed the process of further improvement, adjustment/revision, and finalization of the programme.”
At the time of the evaluation, there was a consensus among partners that the programme should be scaled up in all schools of the country. All members of the Technical Team involved in supervising the programme unanimously support the scaling up of the programme nationwide. To this aim, the Institute of the Ombudsman released a report titled “Combating violence against children in the Kyrgyz Republic” (April 2015) providing recommendations as to how to operationalise this based on concluding observations of all partners involved (including the Child’s Rights Defenders League). This evaluation complements the general recommendations provided by the Institute of the Ombudsman with an in-depth field research, desk review and an independent review of findings.
In this context, the results of the evaluation aim at supporting national planning, effective policy making and resource mobilization with reliable data and well-informed recommendations.
The main objectives of the evaluation were therefore to:
1) Collect feedback independently at the school level
2) Determine in which conditions the programme can be successful
3) Identify areas for improvement
4) Provide recommendations
5) Define the role that the various stakeholders could further play in addressing violence in schools
