Project: Empowering the Voice of a New Generation in Pakistan
Evaluation Date: August 2014
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Although project reporting stated that most project activities were completed as planned, there was not enough hard information available to be able to confirm this or to assess the project’s effectiveness. For example, there was not enough information to be able to assess the effectiveness of different core youth events – three trainings and inter-provincial study tours – and the information on who participated in activities was inconsistent. There was almost no information about the activities at the district level.

Project: Civic Involvement for Transparency and Accountability in Kosovo
Evaluation Date: August 2015
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The methodology for monitoring was adopted consistently by all partners. The approach to monitoring was well structured in setting out what to do and how to do it. The grantee also provided templates for recording information and reporting. In the course of the project, in addition to drafting monthly reports, all CSO monitors produced three reports on municipal governance performance.

Project: For a More Vigilant Civil Society in Morocco
Evaluation Date: May 2016
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The grantee in Morocco was very efficient in the operational follow-up of the project. Each external collaborator was expected to prepare a final report. Unfortunately, the quality of the reports showed serious discrepancies due to the lack of a standard template. This also limited the comparability of the results and the potential to further improve training and seminar quality.

Project: Support for Youth Involvement in Electoral Processes in Gabon
Evaluation Date: January 2016
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The fact that the grantee’s approach and methodology included the conduct of a baseline survey, annual follow-up surveys, and the formulation of target indicators is highly commendable. However there could have been a more rigorous approach to data analysis. The grantee has collected very basic data to monitor effectiveness and impact, and failed to provide UNDEF in its reporting with a comparative analysis.
