The purpose of the evaluation is to provide a forward looking assessment based
on the lessons learned from the final or sustainability phase (2003 – 2009) of
the community schools project. The main focus of the evaluation will be to
develop a project sustainability strategy. It is expected that the evaluation
will yield evidence on the impact of community schools on increasing access,
improving quality, and achieving learning outcomes (within the framework of the
criteria of child rights in education as indicated in the Child Rights
Convention) as well as the impact on gender issues. Furthermore, it will
contribute to the Ministry of Education and other education stakeholders'
strategy with regards to Community Based Education.
The main objective of the evaluation was to undertake a comprehensive and final
assessment of the community schools project that provides scientific based
evidence to substantiate the evolution, progress and achievements of the final
phase of the CSP. In particular, the evaluation was designed to:
1. Provide substantiated evidence as to the achievements of the Project
principal goals and objectives as well as broader outcomes (Appendix 10.3,
MOE-UNICEF 1992 Agreement refers).
2. Provide the basis for the forward looking recommendations and identifies the
strengths and weaknesses of the CSP.
3. Analyze the reasons underlying the factors that challenged the achievement
of the sustainability Phase through a review of the management model and of the
financial aspects of the CSP.
4. Studying the programme relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact
(qualitative and quantitative), sustainability, and costing of community
schools
