Évaluation finale du programme 2022-2026 "Children4Change à Kaffrine" (Sénégal)

L’objet de la mission est d’évaluer le projet « Children for change à Kaffrine » pendant la période allant du 1er janvier 2022 jusqu’à la date de l’évaluation finale (31 janvier 2026).

KIYO’s five-year DGD programme (2022–2026), Empowering Youth Together Globally, aims to create quality learning environments that enable young people to discover and develop their talents and potential, to become aware of their rights and claim them, and to actively shape their future while contributing to a more just and sustainable world.

In Belgium, KIYO implements the programme directly with secondary schools and organisations that work for, with and through young people.This programme translates into two major result areas.

On the one hand, the work with secondary school teachers focuses on building their competence to create an inclusive, quality learning environment in which all students can develop themselves, learn from and experiment with societal challenges. Within this result area, the School for Rights project is included. This project is implemented in partnership with four other organisations and supports teachers through long-term trajectories to structurally integrate children’s rights and global citizenship into the school culture. Another component of the work in schools is the Action4Rights/Youth2Youth initiative which guides students through a citizenship pathway to encourage them toward active engagement.

A second result area relates to work with organisations that work with, for, and by young people. Here, mentors are strengthened in their capacity to create a quality, inclusive learning environment in which all young people are aware of their rights and potential, feel safe, can express themselves, and develop new skills to become more resilient in life. This also includes the work with fourth-pillar initiatives.

The work of KIYO in Belgium takes place in Flanders and Brussels.

The final evaluation aims primarily to ensure accountability and to foster learning for KIYO, its partners, and other stakeholders within the wider NGO sector.

The evaluation results will enable KIYO to:

• Demonstrate accountability by assessing the extent to which the programme has achieved its intended outcomes, using the OECD DAC evaluation criteria. The evaluation will examine the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, coherence, sustainability, and impact of KIYO’s interventions across the different countries.
• Generate learning by identifying what worked well, what worked less well, and why — with the aim of informing future youth empowerment initiatives and the broader sector, even beyond KIYO’s own organisational framework.
