Specific Objectives:
i. Assess the project’s performance using standard OECD evaluation criteria (relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and impact and sustainability) and humanitarian action criteria (connectedness, coherence, coverage) in assessing Adolescent and Youth Programme and how cross-cutting issues such as a human rights-based approach to programming (HRBAP), gender equality and equity and disability has been addressed or recommendations of mainstreaming the cross-cutting issues mentioned.
