ITAR Consultants conducted an endline assessment of Plan International’s GNO programme, evaluating its impact on beneficiaries under Outcomes 1 and 2. The programme, implemented in Northern, Central, and Southern Moldova through seven local partners, focused on: (1) Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE); (2) Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS); and (3) Education in Emergencies (EiE). These activities were designed to address the protection and psychosocial needs of children, adolescents, and caregivers affected by the Ukraine crisis.
The assessment applied OECD DAC criteria (relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, sustainability) and utilised: (1) key informant interviews with project teams; and (2) focus group discussions with caregivers, adolescents, and younger children participating in activities.
The evaluation identified lessons learned and provided strategic recommendations to enhance future programming, ensuring more effective and sustainable interventions in upcoming projects.
