How to measure the effectiveness of development project? Attempt No. 1: The project KINDERGARTENS 2009, Namibia - Keetmanshoop
ŠŤASTNÁ, Veronika
The aim of thesis is to evaluate the project, which I started implementing in the South of Namibia last year, by OECD Evaluation Manual. The project, namely KINDERGARTENS 2009, Namibia {--} Keetmanshoop, deals with the pre-school educational network in the southern regional town Keetmanshoop, where I was working as a volunteer for Czech non-governmental organisation People In Need for six months. The project has provided local kindergarten teachers with technical assistance within the framework of one project, which is being implemented by organisation People In Need. The theoretical part is predominantly consisted of topics, which are relevant to own evaluation process {--} the socio-economic structure of Namibia, its development and policy educational context and lastly, accurate description of OECD evaluation handbook. At the beginning of this part I provide a general overview of development assistance and its official forms to readers. Then, the research part represents the evaluation report. It includes its own objectives, methodology and conclusions. The project is measured in terms of goals and changes accomplished. As a result, I am able to assess whether the project has been effective and its impact on national educational policy. The final part of evaluation is directed towards the question of project sustainability and recommendations and lessons learned for contingent users.
