comments:

The evaluation may be participatory and inclusive however, it will not have explicit focus on assessing pre-decision orientation sessions. In consultation with the WIF team, the Evaluation Manager and Evaluation Advisor of ROAS will guide the independent evaluation consultant in agreeing on the Evaluation Criteria, Questions etc., however, as suggested in the recommendation that conducting remote surveys among the policy makers would not be feasible in the available time. The consultant shall be conducting selected number of individual interviews with the policy makers to gather information on how WIF influenced/not influenced their perceptions.

title:

10. Focus of final evaluation. The final evaluation will follow on shortly after the finalisation of this mid-term reporting. As such, the evaluation should be complementary and not repetitive. We would recommend that the evaluation focuses on assessing existing and generating new evidence around the Outcome indicators for the Results Framework. This will allow a more precise assessment of WIF’s achievements with respect to its overall objectives. This would include indictor 1.2 on Sustainability and replication of processes/ methods, since this will also help elaborate efforts already undertaken to ensure the continuity and expansion of WIF’s approaches on topics like the pre-decision orientation training. Since WIF itself has been highly innovative, so should these assessments. We have already recommended that the assessment be conducted in a participatory manner, involving WMWs themselves, whether returnee, existing or prospective, and be conducted using a purposive sampling framework for locations. The aim of the survey for the first objective is to find out what difference the various forms of orientation training and discussions made to women’s lives – what types of changes, how many women did each type of change apply to, with what effects on their lives. This will be appropriate across the three countries of origin, and in India, can also be conducted in destination locations. Within the Middle East a substantial survey will not be possible. A second focus of any final evaluation should be the sustainability strategy for the programme. We have sought to highlight needs relating to that here, and there are just a few months to put more pieces into place regarding this. This should be a priority for the ILO itself, considering the quality of WIF’s work, and the nature of its achievements thus far across its lifespan.
