General Objectives of the Evaluation

After 2 years of intervention with this emergency mechanism, SI would like to review the implementation of those activities and to study the coherence, the effectiveness, the efficiency and the relevance of the program. In addition, SI sees two aspects to study:

It will also be shared broadly with other EPR actors in the area to build on the lessons learnt.
