Hygiene Education Toolkit Evaluation
Overview
Since its introduction, the only assessment conducted was in 2001. The
assessment recommended areas for improvement of the Blue Box, which were taken
into consideration during the final revision. In addition, several human
interest stories and a case study have been developed over the years that have
served as a means of showcasing its effectiveness. However, the Blue Box has
never been subject to a dedicated evaluation.
UNICEF is currently working with GOL counterparts to develop its next Country
Program Action Plan (CPAP). The WASH program sees it as an important
opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the “software” component of its
support to schools in order to incorporate recommended changes into the new
CPAP. The policy environment as also changed, necessitating a shift in strategy
for UNICEF. The new National School Health Policy has a much broader focus,
incorporating the whole cycle of general education rather than just primary
schools, whereas the Blue Box targets only primary schools. The MOE has also
adopted the Schools of Quality (SOQ) approach, supported by UNICEF’s Basic
Education and Gender Equality (BEGE) program. SOQ takes a holistic approach to
school development that incorporates improvement of the physical environment –
including hygiene and sanitation – with a comprehensive in-service teacher
training program to promote participatory, activity-based teaching and learning
and a strong focus on developing school management capacity and promoting a
participatory approach to community involvement. SOQ has also developed a
teaching and learning supply kit for each classroom, which brings into question
whether the Blue Box – as a stand-alone toolkit – should remain as such or be
incorporated into the more comprehensive package of learning resources provided
as part of the SOQ package.
The overall objective of the evaluation is to provide information on the
effectiveness of the implementat
