Strategic Evaluation

Purpose

This is a Short-term consultancy assignment to carry out an evaluation on year one of implementation of core activities of the strategic plan of PAWA. The assignment will also assess organizational capacity development reflecting on the findings of the internal control systems audit carried out in 2014. PAWA is a partner organization to the ongoing Forum Syd Wajibu Wetu Programme.
Assignment Background

PAWA Initiative is a non-profit initiative established in 2009. It is the philanthropic arm of PAWA254, Kenya’s unique art and cultural collaborative hub that houses, fosters and catalyses creative and community-driven projects for social change. The acronym “PAWA” is Swahili corruption of “power,” while “254” is Kenya’s international telephone code. Our vision is to facilitate a bold, innovative and thriving art and media landscape to create social change in Kenya and exists to provide space and avenues where artists can learn and develop skills that can expose them to further opportunities for enhanced outputs, while promoting social change.

As a bold ‘ARTIVISM’ organization that creatively integrates art and activism to promote active civic participation, livelihoods and employment development for Kenyan youth, PAWA’s work is organized around two thematic areas;

Arts and Culture: PAWA works at developing the capacity of emerging artists and facilitating the integration of this artistic expression for livelihoods development for young people in Kenya. This is achieved through a number of interventions including provision of a state of the art co- working space that consists of creative suites for artists and professional equipment such as cameras, lighting, and other production equipment, skills transfer, networking and partnership opportunities.

Civic Engagement & Social Accountability: PAWA uses art as a form of civic engagement through dance, poetry, graffiti, theatre, music, film and photography all while embedding dialogue and participation. The arts are leveraged to spark civic participation through focusing attention on emerging social concerns in the country and in the process prompt communities to action. Furthermore, through art, PAWA brings forward unheard voices in public discourses and convenes groups of people with divergent views through provision of physical, psychological, experiential, and intellectual spaces conducive to reflection and discussion.”
