The evaluation will assess the results of USAID assistance to the CBE mechanism in fulfilling the educational rights of every child in Afghanistan, especially the most disadvantaged. UNICEF receives support from a number of different bilateral donors for its CBE-related portfolio. USAID, however, is by far the largest donor, and this evaluation only considers CBE-related activities implemented with funding from USAID.
The programme is planned to be completed in 2019, but with the possibility of extension and scaling up to other locations in Afghanistan. A key point of focus in UNICEF’s support to the CBE programme with USAID funding has been to expand learning opportunities for children, especially girls, in Afghanistan and to contribute to the development of a strategic approach to increase girls’ access to education in locations that are most vulnerable to conflict.
The current CBE programme supported by USAID aims “to fulfil the educational rights of every child, especially the most disadvantaged”. The overall outcome is to “provide equitable access to free and quality education to all Afghan children”. Programme activities are organized under four pillars to increase access to education for OOSC in remote communities:
a. Increased access to primary education for OOSC in remote communities;
b. Increased capacity of community-based teachers in CBS;
c. Increased awareness of communities and community leaders on the importance of education and their responsibilities in regard to CBE; and
d. Increased Government capacity to deliver education services to OOSC.
