Problem
The end-line had to support credible attribution across a four-year program window, including two years of operating disruption. The donor required a published evaluation that would stand up to independent review.
Approach
- 1
Matched the sampling frame and instruments to the original baseline.
- 2
Conducted household surveys, KIIs, and focus groups in the original study provinces.
- 3
Applied difference-in-differences analysis where comparison groups were available.
- 4
Delivered an evaluation report and validation workshop.
Result
The evaluation was published as part of the program's close-out and cited in follow-on funding decisions by the donor.
“Careful field work. Honest analysis. The kind of end-line you can publish.”
