DGD22-26 Programme Midterm evaluation
Bodhi undertook a multi-country mid‐term evaluation of Plan International Belgium’s 5‐year programme, funded by the Belgian development cooperation (DGD). The programme was operationalised in eight countries (Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Ecuador, Niger, Senegal, Tanzania, and Vietnam) across four continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America). The specific outcomes for each country of operation differ, but the overall strategy of the DGD programme was to "contribute towards the economic and social empowerment of adolescents and young people, especially adolescent girls, and young women.” Bodhi conducted participatory primary data collection in the form of key informant interviews, focus group discussions and a Bridge Exercise Workshop with each of the Plan International country teams. It ensured that participatory evaluation approaches were embedded throughout the evaluation, thus contributing to enhancing the participation of children, adolescents, and youth.
