Project main information:
Project goal: The quality of life and social participation of people with disabilities in Jordan has improved.
Project outcome: People with disabilities benefit from improved provision and access to inclusive community-based education and rehabilitation services, particularly in the targeted areas of Ramtha, Salt and Karak.
Output 1: Awareness and knowledge of inclusive community development are strengthened among government officials and NGOs as well as public and private providers of education and rehabilitation services nationwide.
Output 1 focuses on introducing the concepts of CBR and CBID to representatives from the directorates of the ministries in the 12 governorates of Jordan, NGOs, CSOs, OPDs and community-based service providers across Jordan and linking them together. CBR and CBID approaches should become the basis for service delivery in order to create an inclusive community. This will also increase the inclusion in strategic planning and budgeting.
Output 2: An inclusive service platform of public and private community-based service providers is established and operational in three target areas.
Output 2 involves the creation of a national online platform that will link service providers and persons with disabilities. The planned platform should lead to coordination, exchange, and faster and simplified referral to and between service providers. This should lead to early diagnosis of disabilities and reduce possible late effects through timely referrals and access to relevant services. Telemedicine services are also to be made possible in the medium term within the framework of the planned platform. Another aspect of the platform is the collection of data and information to complement official statistics and thus create a clearer picture of the situation and needs of people with disabilities in Jordan.
Output 3: Accessible inclusive education and rehabilitation services for people with disabilities are developed at community level in the three target areas of Ramtha, Salt and Karak.
Output 3 aims to create inclusive and accessible services and provide training for staff in rehabilitation centres and for teachers to design services and lessons that are accessible to people with disabilities. Three KAP[1] studies will identify the need for inclusive services and collect data for these regions. These are to be used both in the creation of a guideline planned under output 2 and as a baseline and basis for further measures (e.g. measures to increase accessibility in relevant buildings). Furthermore, awareness-raising campaigns are planned to bring the rights of people with disabilities closer to the community and to break down prejudices, especially with regard to the issue of psychosocial problems.
[1]A KAP study is a Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) survey. It is a quantitative method (predefined questions in standardised questionnaires) that provides access to quantitative and qualitative information. KAP surveys uncover misunderstandings or misconceptions that can be barriers to activities to be implemented and potential barriers to behaviour change
- Scope of the evaluation
The mid-term evaluation will review and analyse the overall project implementation according to the proposal from the project start in November 2022 up to the moment the mid-term evaluation takes place.
- To review planned and achieved project objective, results, activities, and indicators specified in the approved impact matrix (Logframe) and project plan (original proposal)
- To evaluate the quality, impact and potential sustainability of conducted trainings (output 1 and 3)
- To assess (preparations for) the multi-year strategic planfor inclusive community development in the three target areas and to what extent it is suitable to achieve related results.
- To assess potential sustainability of the online platform after the project has ended and whether existing structures allow for a smooth handover of responsibilities.
- To evaluate the extent to which the guide with available relevant services for persons with disabilities meets the need of the target group and whether it is of use to them
- To assess whether the improved accessibility of service provider buildings meets the needs of the target group and whether they use them
- To evaluate the achievements of the awareness-raising campaign in Ramtha
- To review whether overall beneficiary selection is in line with the criteria outlined in the proposal
- To evaluate whether implementation of activities is inclusive, with a specific focus on different types of disability, gender and marginalized groups
- To identify and elaborate relevant and useful lessons learned to apply in the remaining implementation period of the project, especially with regards to:
- the approach/effectiveness of the intervention as well as
- the implementing strategy/efficiency and
- sustainability of the project and whether activities and overall structures are designed and implemented in a way they are on track to ensure sustainability after the project has ended
in order to take a mid-term course correction if required, before the end of the project.
The mid-term evaluation shall cover all three target areas of Ramtha, Salt and Karak.
- Target audience and intended use
The mid-term evaluation shall be designed as to have a ready, accessible and easily understandable reference that provides a review of project interventions and achievements so far and offers recommendations for improvement in project implementation for the remainder of the project period. For the implementing organizations it can be used as an instrument and go-to learning document when it comes to confirm, revise, reassess or make adjustments to the current implementation plan and project design in order to facilitate a successful project implementation and target as well as impact achievement.
For the donors the evaluation provides a stock-taking of the current state of affairs of project implementation and documents adherence to funding guidelines and project plan as well as of the necessary reflection of whether the project is still on track – not the least for the sake of accountability. In addition, for CBM as the private executing agency of the co-funded BMZ project, the evaluation helps in discussing necessary adjustments to project implementation with the partner and informs future project monitoring.
The target group including persons with disabilities can express crucial feedback and participatory input, which may help steering further project implementation to a closer alignment with the target groups’ demands and expectations.
Moreover, the evaluation will also be useful to the various stakeholders involved in project activities, such as the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the project’s Steering Committee to learn about the project progress in the different components and possible adjustments required.
2-Methodology
The detailed methodology shall be developed by the evaluation team in close consultation with the local partner and CBM. A first outline shall be provided in the proposal. The evaluation shall be results based (outcome and objective) rather than activities based. It shall be a participatory process conducted by involving the implementing partner, stakeholders, and representatives from the target group. Particular attention shall be given to people with disabilities in terms of their involvement in the program and accessibility of the intervention. Therefore, sampling should deliberately include persons with disabilities from the target group. The evaluation shall involve males and females equally.
It is suggested to use mixed methods incl. qualitative and quantitative methods, including document review and stakeholder discussions/interviews. The evaluation shall be conducted using rights-based principles, i.e. participatory, inclusive and following a do-no-harm approach. Data security and privacy issues must be adhered to during data collection, management as well as reporting.
Ideally, the evaluation team shall include a mixed gender team and be inclusive of a person with disability.
The project team will share a matrix of key partners and stakeholder with the evaluator so that s/he is aware on who to include in the sampling.
