Creating meaningful and lasting change for children requires more than policies and programmes. It requires strong partnerships, community leadership, and a genuine commitment to listening to children themselves. These themes stood at the center of the recent visit of Ahmad Alhendawi, Regional Director for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe (MENAEE) at Save the Children International, to Kosovo, where discussions and field visits highlighted both the progress achieved and the continued need for collective action to protect and advance children’s rights.

SCiK is seeking National or International Individual Evaluator(s) or Company to conduct the project’s final evaluation in line with ADA’s Guidelines for Programme and Project Evaluation. 

The evaluation will assess the project’s progress and achievements against the indicators and targets outlined in the project logical framework, while also exploring additional questions and areas of interest beyond the log frame to provide actionable evidence for future programming. Evaluators are encouraged to identify emerging issues, lessons learned and opportunities that can inform and strengthen future interventions for vulnerable communities.
