Comic Relief funds evaluation of AfriKids’ core projects
In January 2010 Comic Relief offered AfriKids a grant of £20,000 over six months to conduct an independent evaluation of our work with street and working children in northern Ghana. Between April and June we worked with Pauline Wilson, a respected and experienced evaluator to undertake this work. Pauline went out and spent two weeks with a team of four AfriKids Ghana staff to evaluate the impact of our three major core projects for the period 2005—10.
The evaluation covered various areas including relevance, effective-ness, coverage, sustainability and history of AfriKids. The write-up of the evaluation is very positive and credits AfriKids with achieving goals and making effective, valuable changes in rural Ghana.
Here are just a few points pulled from the evaluation:
