Tuinuane: Internal Evaluation
Tuinuane is a Kiswahili word meaning “uplifting each other”. The Tuinuane Women project started in 2005 and had an evaluation in 2008. Based on the evaluation Tuinuane was redesigned and a new project document was worked out. The project is now in its second project phase; 2010-2014, and the project goal is to improve poor women’s ability to be self-sustainable.Tuinuane is implemented by the Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya (FPFK) and financed by the Norwegian Pentecostal Mission (PYM). The primary target population for Tuinuane is female community members living in and around one of the 1200 communities across Kenya where there are FPFK congregations. According to the project document, Tuinuane is to carry out an internal evaluation during the project period (2010 – 2014) in order to fine-tune the project’s design to assure best possible project results. Roy Mersland has been involved in Tuinuane since its beginning and he has facilitated this internal evaluation and written this report. The mid-term evaluation should focus on projects achievements and give recommendations and strategies for the way forward. Main focus should be on the new decentralized system with field agents (FA), new simplified accounting system and the new MIS.
