PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project deploy a holistic approach that aim to restore basic social and economic services through the construction/rehabilitation of prioritised community infrastructures using the Cash-for-Work (CfW) approach, engagement of unemployed youth in professional/skills training programs and the establishment of local enterprises for selected beneficiaries as Income-Generating Activities (IGA).
These activities are accompanied by capacity building of local authorities, Civil Society Organizations (CSO), Local Committees and the communities at large through training, awareness raising sessions and social cultural activities; the CVR project is funded by EU.
The joint evaluation with the evaluation of the KOICA-funded project will maximise time and resources as the two evaluations have been scheduled at the same time. It will be important to conduct joint evaluation in order to compare the data and the progress both projects are making. Lessons learnt from the evaluation will allow the implementation team to derive operational recommendations in a holistic manner for all intervention zones.
