The purpose of the formative evaluation is therefore to analyze the status of implementation, determine if the modelling project needs any adjustments and collect evidence related to the modelling project’s effectiveness and efficiency in reducing adolescent risky behaviours. The evaluation will also provide information on model’s relevance and will help identify lessons learned and good practices. The evaluation includes an assessment of the extent to which the evaluated modelling project was based on a child rights approach and whether age and gender issues are considered in providing support services to adolescents.
There are two main objectives to be attained by this evaluation:
a. Measure the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and elements of sustainability of the modelling project in reducing risky behaviours in adolescents in 5 urban areas;
b. Identify the lessons learned and good practices and make recommendations for modelling project adjustment, as well as recommendations on how to promote legislation and policy development related to adolescents (information related to legislation, institutional building, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms) with a particular focus on the definition of adolescents’ friendly services.
The overall scope of the evaluation is to assess the performance of the current modelling project “Opportunities for Adolescents” and make proposals for improvement or adjustment in terms of design, what has worked and what has not worked, internal and external factors that affected in a positive or negative way the modelling project implementation. The evaluation covers the period of implementation June 2014 – June 2016. The focus is on the five cities where the modelling project is implemented (Bucharest-4th sector, Bacău, Cluj-Napoca, Iaşi, Constanţa) and on the policy development at national level. The evaluation process includes all of the project stakeholders.
