ConsultUs Work
The formulation of an end of project evaluation report with the purpose of assessing the performance (activities, outputs, outcomes) of the project and producing lessons and recommendations for UNESCO to improve planning, implementation, management, monitoring and evaluation of future similar interventions.
Our work was based on a mixture of quantitative and qualitative data and multiple information sources and we used different evaluation tools such as questionnaires, focus group sessions, open questions, reports, and introductory documents to highlight the results achieved by the program.
Both quantitative and qualitative evaluation results clearly indicated the high degree of effectiveness and the good effects of the project in general. Average goals achievement was good in the two main components of the program and all the implemented sub-activities.
Project Background:
“Sustaining Quality Education & Promoting Skills Development for Young Syrian Refugees in Jordan” is a large-scale European Union-funded project implemented by UNESCO Office in Amman. The project comes as a response to the Syria Crisis in Jordan. UNESCO’s overall objective for the project has been to sustain quality education and promote skills development opportunities for young Syrian refugees and Jordanians impacted by the humanitarian crisis. This project aimed to address the challenges posed by the continuing influx of Syrian refugees on the quality of education in Jordan.
The project included two main components:
Component 1: aims to sustain the quality of education for Syrians and Jordanians through developing the capacities of the Ministry of Education, its teachers, schools’ principals and supervisors to promote long-term support to Jordan’s efforts to address the adverse impact of the Syrian crisis while maintaining quality education for all.
Component 2: aims to provide demand-driven non-formal and informal education, skills development and mentoring opportunities to Syrian and Jordanian youth affected by the Syria Crisis in Jordan in both Al Za’atari refugee camp and in urban areas in addition to Jordanian youth living in urban areas with limited opportunities for skills development training.
