The main purpose of this evaluation is to review the effectiveness of this
UNICEF-supported project and assess its impact , with a view to further
improving and expanding the project in the 2006-10 GOC/ UNICEF Programme of
Cooperation. The three main questions asked in the evaluation are:
How effective is the peer training in providing children with the correct
information they need to protect themselves against HIV/AIDS and to what extent
is this being effectively integrated with an anti-stigma and discrimination
message. How much have the knowledge and attitude changed in project schools
compared to non-project schools?
How has peer education experience affected the peer educators themselves?
What are some of the greatest challenges they have encountered, and how have
they overcome them? Are there any significant differences in perceptions
between male and female peer educators in these respects? What have been their
sources of satisfaction and/or frustration within the project? In what areas
do the participating peer educators feel the project could be improved in the
future?
How do the parents of peer educators and teachers assess the project in its
usefulness and effectiveness? What differences exist in this regard as between
schools which are within the project and those which are not? Has the project
encouraged interpersonal communication about HIV/AIDS issues among students,
parents and teachers—has the issue become desensitized in the perceptions of
these three groups?
