Evaluering
International Disability Alliance – End Review : Desentralisert evaluering/Norad Collected Reviews
The program is built on three pillars: the strengthening of the disability movement in Sub-Saharan Africa; the development of technical capacity amongst the movement; the development of evidence-based action to support advocacy initiatives at local, national, regional and global level. The evaluation concludes that the initial objectives of the program have been achieved overall, and that the planned activities have been effectively carried out, despite the health context linked to the COVD 19 crisis, which led to an adaptation of some of the activities (validated by NORAD in 2020). The three years of the program saw a clear strengthening of the disability movement in Sub-Saharan Africa, marked by the emergence of many new representative organizations, and the strong structuring of the African Disability Forum, which has become a central actor in the fight for disability rights in the region. This dynamic has been inclusive of groups previously not very present in the movement, such as women with disabilities, indigenous groups, youth, people with deafblindness or with intellectual disabilities. It is one of the crucial achievements of the program to have succeeded in making the voice of these underrepresented groups heard, in a context still not very favorable to their political and social participation. Moreover, the program has allowed the disability movement to position itself in many countries as a key player in the advocacy for the effective achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. All these results were coherent with IDA’s and its members pluri-annual strategy. The evaluation also highlights the efficiency of the program and IDA's ability to mobilize the financial, substantive/technical, logistical, and human resources necessary to achieve its objectives in a relevant and appropriate manner.
