Through an analysis of secondary data sources, including project monitoring and evaluation reports, partner implementation reports, etc., and a select number of key informant interviews with relevant project staff, participants and other stakeholders, the Consultant will collate knowledge, learning, and evidence that relates to the following questions:
What are the key components of the Power to Girls approach? How was the approach adapted to the LEAP context and why?
What impact/change is evident as a result of the Power to Girls work led by LEAP:
At the level of girls themselves?
In schools?
In the community?
What is the effect of girl-centered empowerment programming and holistic community engagement, either in combination or individually?
Have there been any unintended outcomes as a result of the Power to Girls interventions, both positive and negative?
What are the key drivers of success in relation to:
Increased voice, choice, and agency amongst girls themselves?
Changes in attitudes and behaviours within school environments?
Changes in attitudes and behaviours within communities?
What challenges/barriers were encountered that affected the effectiveness of the model, and how were they overcome?
How do girl-centred empowerment programming and holistic community engagement, either together or separately, impact the social acceptance of gender inequality and violence against women and girls?
What, if any, indications of sustaining the impact of this work beyond the length of the project are evident? How could this be strengthened?
NB: Please note that this is an initial list of questions for this assignment and may be adjusted through co-creation in the inception of the consultancy.
