Evaluation Finale “Dans les Zones de Feed the Future” du Projet USAID/Nutrition et Hygiène/ CARE dans la Région de Mopti – Mali.
Health International (FHI 360), International Rescue Committee (IRC), CARE International au Mali avec son partenaire malien l'ONG Yam-Giribolo - Tumo (YA -G- TU) - (Association pour la Promotion de la femme). L'objectif global du Projet est d'améliorer l'état nutritionnel des femmes et des enfants, avec un accent particulier sur le renforcement de la résilience à travers la prévention et le traitement de la malnutrition, tout en ciblant la «fenêtre d'opportunité» de 1000 jours de la période de conception de l'enfant jusqu'aux deux premières années de sa vie; et cela dans neuf (9)) districts sanitaires, dont Nara (région de Koulikoro), Niono (région de
Ségou), Mopti, Bandiagara, Bankass, Tenenkou, Youwarou Djenné et Koro(région de Mopti). Initialement, trois (3) objectifs stratégiques étaient assignés au projet USAID/Nutrition Hygiène, que sont : (i) accroître l'accès et la consommation d'aliments diversifiés et de qualité, (ii) améliorer la nutrition et les comportements liés à l'Hygiène et (iii) accroitre l’utilisation des Services à Haut Impact en Nutrition et en Eau, Hygiène et Assainissement. En mai 2016, le projet a bénéficié d’un fond additionnel qui a permis de renforcer les activités au niveau de l’objectif stratégique 1 et d’ajouter un quatrième objectif stratégique, qui consiste à « Contribuer au renforcement de la capacité institutionnelle et opérationnelle de la DNACPN1 pour la mise en oeuvre de la stratégie post FDAL (Fin de la Défécation à l'Air Libre) au Mali». L’objectif de cette évaluation finale est d’apprécier le niveau d’évolution des indicateurs du
Projet entre l’étude de base et étude finale. De façon spécifique il s’agit d'évaluer les niveaux actuels des indicateurs agricultures, les indicateurs Santé/Nutrition/WASH d’une part, et d’autre part, de mesurer l’impact des émissions radiophoniques sur les communautés
bénéficiaires.
De façon globale des résultats forts encourageants sont notés, car la plupart des indicateurs ont connu des améliorations par rapport à leur valeur de base en 2016. Read More...

Myanmar Endline Report Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Programme II 2016-2019
Project name: Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Programme (GEWEP) II
Project period: 2016-2019
Number of people that have been directly reached: 4,429 Female and 2,305 Male
Myanmar endline / baseline report submission: 31st March 2019
Result highlights for GEWEP II in Myanmar
Sex Workers in Myanmar (SWiM) is growing. SWiM advocates for the rights of fellow sex workers by advocating for amendment of the 1949 Suppression of Prostitution Act, a law that punishes and fines prostitution, putting sex workers at increased risk. With the contribution from SWiM and other stakeholders, the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement has been drafting a new law. The draft law is expected to be submitted to parliament by the end of 2019.
More than a hundred brothels have been lobbied to promote safer work environment for female sex workers using a minimal standard checklist. The minimal standard includes provision of condoms, and hygiene and sanitary materials for both clients and female sex workers. It also needs the brothel owners/managers to allow sex worker to go out for regular medical check-up.
58% of the endline survey respondents are members of one or more self-help groups. Participation in self-help groups develops sense of social inclusion among the sex workers. This is important, as sex workers are greatly discriminated in the general community and often excluded from the social activities in the general community.
During the survey, a subset of men – who were partner of, have work relationship with, or are somehow related to FSWs – showed aggressive attitudes towards their intimate partners. These attitudes may be linked to high incidence of violence against female sex workers. More exploration on this finding and more targeted engaging men activities are suggested for future programs.

Strengthening Rural Development Models in Georgia (ENPARD II) Midterm Evaluation
Strengthening Rural Development Models in Georgia seeks to build on the success found by Mercy Corps, CARE and People in Need as they introduced the LEADER model for rural development to the municipalities of Borjomi, Lagodekhi and Kazbegi. In addition to continuing to implement this community-led local development approach, they were tasked with providing more national-level support for other Georgian LEADER implementations with the support of ELARD, a Europe-based not for profit organisation.
A series of interviews and focus groups held with beneficiaries, implementing agencies and other stakeholders provided a very positive picture of the impact being delivered by the LEADER model in these three municipalities, particularly in terms of increased engagement with local governance, community cohesion and economic participation.
Results further suggested that the growing presence LEADER in Georgia’s rural municipalities was positively moving Georgian rural governance in the direction envisioned by the Georgian Government and the Delegation of the European Union, that is, towards a state of alignment with the European Common Agricultural Policy.
The main difficulty identified is that Georgian Government policy looking forward appears to be wavering with regards to its commitment to the LEADER model, despite the levels of investment provided by the EU. Read More...

Final Evaluation Partnership for Learning
The Partnership for Learning (P4L) project is funded by Educate a Child (EAC) P4L whose goal is to return 6 million out-of-school children to school all around the world. P4L has been implemented by CARE Haiti since November 2013 in partnership with several institutions that provided leverage funding such as the Haitian Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MENFP), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), TOMS, LIV Livres Solidaires, LIDE, GAP Inc and other local and international institutions. P4L is implemented in the departments of Ouest, Grand’Anse, Centre and Artibonite.
At the end of the project, 53,059 girls and boys had been enrolled by the project in 465 partner schools. The enrollment rate of formerly out of school children age 5-17 supported by the project (parent survey data) is estimated as 95.4% in school year 2017-2018, compared to 92.0% among the children age 5-17 from randomly sampled households. There was a statistically significant difference (chi-squared = 14.399, df=3, p<0.01) in the enrolment rate per department, with the department of Centre having the lowest rate of children 5-17 years in school (93.0%) and Grand’Anse with the highest at 97.7%.
