Evaluering
Synergy in Development - An Evaluation of the Speed Schools (SSA/SSP) & the Women’s Saving for Change project (CMMF/SFC) in three African Countries
In SF’s three intervention countries in West Africa, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, 3.18 million children are out of school. SF’s Speed Schools (SS) aims to bring out-of-school children between the ages of 8 to 12 back to school through 9 months of intensive training. SF also works through CMMF groups in SS areas, to encourage the mothers of Speed School children to save and increase their income. This contributes to keeping children in school and has other positive developmental effects in the community. Speed Schools and CMMF are often combined in programming to promote synergy, and there has been a need to evaluate the effect of this.
