CONSULTANT INDIVIDUAL FOR SPONSORSHIP MIDTERM EVALUATION QUANTITATIVE &
QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND
Save the Children began implementing long-term Sponsorship programs in West
Sumba in 2014 and Central Sumba 2015). This program aims to reach 100,000
children and their communities over the course of 10 ten years to improve the
quality of education and health service of children in West Sumba and Central
Sumba.
In 2019, Midterm Evaluation (MTE) has been done by consultant. However, the
works were not finished yet and remaining a lot of data to be analyzed. In the
other side, the needs of MTE results are increasing, as the Sponsorship program
enter the last half period of the program, which considered as the right time
to re-develop Sponsorship program design and strategy for the remaining period
of the program. The MTE aimed to answer these Evaluation Questions (EQ) as
follow:
EQ1
What is the status of key child, family, and community on core programming
outcome indicators, and what should be the targets for end-line evaluation in 5
years?
EQ2
What unintended/unplanned outcomes, both positive and negative, have occurred
over the past five years due to sponsorship programming?
EQ3
To what degree are key stakeholders, such as children, caregivers, community
leaders, school and health officials, local partners satisfied with current
programming? In what areas is Sponsorship meeting the needs of children and in
what areas is it not?
EQ4
What areas require improvement or additional attention considering key
indicator status, stakeholder satisfaction, child rights and participation,
gender, equity, and inclusion?
EQ5
What are key contextual issues that have, or currently are, positively and
negatively affecting Sponsorship programming and results, or may do so in the
future?
EQ6
To what degree have program staff made progress on plans for "transfer of
ownership" that will be assessed at the upcoming end-line evaluation?
