This report reviews the new application and budget from the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and provides recommendations for the project Enhancing access to education and health services in the areas of implementation of the peace agreements (referred to as the Project henceforth). The review focuses on the Project’s objectives, results framework, budget and reporting on results so far, taking into account the overall goal of reincorporation and reconciliation, logistical challenges and enhancing sustainability.

The review uses documentary analysis to assess the extent to which the Project is achieving its objectives (effectiveness) and whether these results are being achieved with effective use of resources (efficiency). It also addresses the project’s sustainability and discusses whether there could be increased efforts to foster local ownership and continued education options for basic education graduates who complete the programme.

There are three main limitations of this report. Firstly, its heavy reliance on project documentation. Secondly, due to time constraints, interviews with stakeholders could not be conducted. Lastly, analysis of cost efficiency was beyond the scope of the review.
