Bodhi conducted a mid-term evaluation of Save the Children International's 'Children Affected by Armed Conflict' programme. The programme operates across sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to build the capacity of civil society and national stakeholders, including armed forces, to advocate for and mainstream the protection of children and recognition of their rights. Our evaluation assessed the programme's progress, effectiveness, and impact at its midpoint, providing insights to guide its continued implementation and improve its ability to protect children in conflict-affected regions.
