The purpose of the evaluation is to identify implementation gaps and inform future BEAM programming, which must be aligned with other emerging elements of NAP II related to social protection. The main audience of the evaluation is the GoZ – in particular the MoLSS and the Ministry of Education, Sport, Art and Culture (MoESAC) – and BEAM donors. Specifically the evaluation seeks to:
I. Review the underlying policy assumptions associated with BEAM to determine whether they are still relevant and identify any emerging issues after a decade of implementation.
II. Review the resource allocation methodology used by the PMU to benefit communities.
III. Review the BEAM targeting methodology/identification of beneficiaries and extent of inclusion and exclusion errors.
IV. Determine the effectiveness of institutional arrangements and the roles and efficacy of various stakeholders at all levels (GoZ departments, donors, civil society, local leadership, community selection committees, school development committees);
V. Determine the impact of BEAM on the lives of the beneficiaries, the communities around them and the nation at large.
VI. Identify additional financial and non‐financial barriers affecting children’s access to schools and how BEAM can be part of a holistic approach to overcoming them.
VII. Provide findings, conclusions and specific recommendations with respect to future programme design, budget planning and implementation in both the immediate (2012), medium term (2013‐2015) and long term.
VIII. Determine the extent to which BEAM objectives were achieved.
