The Challenge

ADRA Netherlands implements the ADRA ECF programme through partners in Madagascar, Pakistan and Nepal. The evaluation aimed to assess the impact, achievement and progress in relevance and effectiveness of the ADRA ECF’s objective of reducing poverty in sponsored children’s lives in the targeted countries. The evaluation study examined the various activities and processes within the programme’s implementation framework and recommended improvement.
