Evaluering
Participatory impact and organizational performance of the education programme of NRRDO
The partnership between NRRDO and Strømme Foundation began in 2002 with support to implement an education programme in eight model schools in Rashad and Kadugli counties in Eastern Jebels. The effects of war and conflict in Nuba Mountains continue to be felt. However, despite the destruction, education remains the number one priority need for the people of Nuba and in response some humanitarian and development agencies including NRRDO in partnership with local communities have opened schools in Nuba Mountains. As a region, the Nuba Mountains was a marginalized area even after UNCEF was allowed to operate from Kenya to serve the Southern Sudan in 1983. NRRDO undertook a needs assessment exercise in 1999 that led to the creation of its development oriented programme mandated by the community to address the need for education in the Nuba Mountains Regions. The evaluation looked at education initiatives implemented under the partner, e.g. quality of approaches, methods and techniques used in programme planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting, programme achievements, effects, and impact on the target groups. In addition, the report raises issues of organization's capacity, relevance and efficacy to understand, interpret and address emerging changes in the program context.
