The MVC project has been implemented for two years (i.e. 2001-2003) after the
identification process and initial consultations between the stakeholders. The
project managers felt that an impact assessment of the MVC programme was
necessary. The idea is that the impact assessment of the MVC programme will
eventually help input to overall child protection millennium goals and the
realization of children rights. This would be done by exploring the integration
avenues of child protection and other socio-economic decisions such as planning
at different levels of the community. The assessment should enable to predict
social, economic, and cultural consequences of on going MVC supporting
activities. It will also help in enabling communities to come up with plans to
strengthen the positive traits and fill gaps and provide opportunities for the
full involvement of different stakeholders.
The impact assessment aimed at assessing the MVC programme effectiveness and
functionality in terms of services provided to MVC and achievement so far
attained for the MVC and the community. Further aim was to assess the extent to
which the MVC programme is institutionalized and owned by the community. The
commitment to programme and organizational support to provide required human
and material resources by different actors was assessed. Capacity development
and children participation in the process were considered. Impact on education,
health, care, food, housing, clothing and legal matters was examined.
Challenges of the programme were also considered. The identification process
and the idea of ownership were also assessed.
