Final evaluation of Development Account project titled Policies and Programmes for Youth with Disabilities in Latin America
Overview
The Policies and Programmes for Youth with Disabilities in Latin America project (1819A) was approved for implementation under the 11th Tranche of the United Nations Development Account in 2017. The project, conducted in partnership between UNDESA and ECLAC, aims to strengthen national capacities in the three project countries (Argentina, Ecuador, and Peru) to establish and implement evidence-based mechanisms for the formulation, monitoring and evaluation of national policies and programmes aimed at the social and economic inclusion of youth with disabilities. This project consisted of 3 phases. The first phase consisted of the elaboration of an assessment report of the existing legislative and policy framework related to the inclusion of youth and/or persons with disabilities. The second part involved the realization of a national workshop in each of the participating countries throughout 2019. During 2020 training modules were virtualized in PERU, a pilot implementation of the “Registro itinerante de PCD en 6 Regiones del Perú” was completed, and a seminar was held on “COVID-19 y las personas con discapacidad en América Latina. Mitigar el impacto y proteger derechos para asegurar la inclusión hoy y mañana” report published by ECLAC. The objective was to generate a meeting point to discuss and develop recommendations to promote the inclusion of young people with disabilities given the new conditions. As the last phase of the project, training modules were completed for public officials in Argentina, and an end of project regional workshop was planned that would bring together the 3 participating countries. This event took place virtually on December 16th. Objectives and Scope The objective of this evaluation, as per the terms of reference, was to review the efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, and sustainability of the project and, specifically, to document its outcomes in relation to its overall objectives and expected results as defined in the project document. Emphasis was placed on identifying good practices and lessons learned from the implementation of the project, their sustainability, and their potential replication in other countries.Report Details
