Evaluation of QBEPs Township Education Improvement Plan Activities
Overview
The purpose of this end of the project performance evaluation, per the terms of reference (TOR), was to assess TEIP as a QBEP funded activity, strengthen its ongoing implementation and provide lessons for future application. The evaluation was intended to examine the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and likely sustainability of QBEP’s TEIP activities to date, identify lessons learned and formulate recommendations for future programming. The evaluation was therefore both summative and formative in nature. It is anticipated that the evaluation will be able to support the new Government in deciding their education priorities as well contribute toward a decision on whether to continue QBEP support for decentralisation reform.
Specifically, the evaluation had the following specific objectives:
1. To test programming assumptions and the underlying theory of change;
2. To identify areas where implementation can be strengthened under QBEP for possible expansion under QBEP;
3. To explore a finding from the QBEP midterm review questioning the relevance of its TEIP activities; and
4. To respond to an overarching midterm review recommendation that QBEP assess its activities before scaling up.
The evaluation sought to provide an independent assessment of QBEP’s TEIP activities based on the OECD/DAC criteria listed below questions. Per the TOR, the evaluation was not intended to examine impact or higher level results because two and half years of implementation was not sufficient to produce higher level results. The three major evaluation questions are:
1. Are TEIP activities relevant to the planning needs of Township Education Officers (TEOs) to manage the delivery of basic education in their townships?
2. To what degree are TEIP activities effective and efficient in developing education plans that are inclusive, informed, and realistic?
3. What elements of the TEIP activities should be sustained as part of NESP following the end of the current QBEP funding?
