Mid-term evaluation of the strategic plan 2019-2023 Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger

Since 2019, the Strømme Foundation West Africa (SFWA) has been implementing a strategic plan (SP) in its countries of intervention (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger) that covers the period 2019-2023. The SP is based on three thematic goals, including: 1) a strong civil society and public sector, 2) inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for marginalized and disadvantaged groups, and 3) improved livelihoods for the rural poor through income generation. The implementation of the SP was challenged by the changing context of insecurity, COVID-19 and the socio-political situation. After 3 years of operation, it is necessary to carry out a mid-term evaluation with the following specific objectives: to analyse the operational approach to the implementation of the strategy by SFWA; to analyse the strategy with regard to the criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability as well as crosscutting issues and lessons learned; to analyse the effects and changes through some indicators of the
logical framework.
