The project document provides for a mid-term review after 18 months and a
comprehensive
evaluation at the end of the program. This evaluation is being conducted to
contribute to the
end-of- project /summative evaluation in accordance with the provisions of the
project
document.
The overall purpose of the evaluation was to determine, identify and understand
the
causes and effects and the difference the project made in the lives of the
direct and
indirect beneficiaries. While it was too early to show the difference (in the
three years the
project has run) as impacts, the evaluation attempted to identify behavioral
outcomes
attributable to the set of interventions that comprise this component of the
broader
programme3. The evaluation highlighted constraints and generated relevant
recommendations for scaling up and improvement of implementation in future and
hence
serves as a basis for further program design. Its main objective was therefore
to provide
strategic information and data on HIV/AIDS life-skills based education so as to
have reliable, accurate and comprehensive data on the achievements and the
impact (where
possible).
Evaluation findings will be used by the life skills education partners and major
implementers at national, provincial and district levels. The major outcomes
will be
shared with the implementers for them to take into account successful
strategies and
corrective action that may be required. The evaluation also provides
information for
leveraging funds and reporting to donors. It is meant to inform the next
GoZ-UNICEF
Review as it shall reflect the status of the program in terms of its relevance,
efficiency,
effectiveness, sustainability, coverage and impact and propose recommendations
aimed at
guiding implementation of life skills education in the next country program of
cooperation (2012-2016).
