Overview
The main objective of the evaluation was “to assist UNCDF and its partners to understand the relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, and the likely pathways towards impact and sustainability of JSF while understanding the context and challenges in which JSF operated.” The evaluation followed a theory-based methodology, assessing actual programme performance against a Theory of Change. The evaluation utilised five different data collection methods or ‘lines of evidence’ which have been combined to triangulate data and verify findings: analysis of project data and reports; review of secondary data and literature; key informant interviews; case studies and focus group discussions.
