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

The usefulness of the baseline study that was used to select the CBO partners in 20 locations in Pakistan, was uncertain as it assessed CBOs and their attributes rather than their qualifications. Some of the CBOs seemed extremely competent, but others might not have been the most appropriate choices. For instance, at least two did not appear to have offices where the Voice of a New Generation groups were expected to meet and the Information Resource Centres to be housed.

Project: Young Builders of a New Citizenship In Chad
Evaluation Date: December 2015
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Although more than eight hundred young people from Chad were informed about their rights and duties, the project did not lead to any changes in the youth organizations’ perception of how the voice of young people could be heard. Most of the young interviewees declared that there was no additional dialogue with authorities after the project’s termination.

Project: Young Builders of a New Citizenship In Chad
Evaluation Date: December 2015
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The project design would have benefited from a better use of lessons learned from the grantee’s previous projects and its youth association network. This would have helped identify the challenges faced by young people and to develop a proper national action plan and youth platforms that were relevant.

Project: Young Builders of a New Citizenship In Chad
Evaluation Date: December 2015
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The project outcomes were ambitious especially given the outputs that were delivered to achieve them. The authorities in Chad were not adequately informed or involved during the project. The grantee assumed that putting youth organizations together and formulating a youth plan and platforms would be sufficient to create autonomous youth initiatives and to forge dialog with authorities.

Project: Promoting democratic and human rights values among Rwandan youth
Evaluation Date: February 2014
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

The project essentially targeted existing members of the NAR to the detriment of outreach towards other young people who were not involved with the organization. Although some clubs were established in the Eastern province during the project period, this was not a deliberate priority. More specific targeting of new groups of young people would have enhanced the project’s relevance by disseminating its benefits more broadly.
