This end term evaluation (ETE) of the Digital for Girls and Women (D4GW) project is both summative and formative with a general purpose to assess overall project performance. It aims at identifying all project outcomes and generating learning for scaling, sustainability, and policy integration within broader D4D initiatives.
The evaluation considers all pillars of the Project and its diversity in activities. Therefore, the scope is:

• Temporal: the ETE covers the whole implementation period, hence from December 2021 to May 2025, complementing the findings of the previous reviews (2022-2023 Results Report).
• Geographical: the ETE covers the project’s three geographical intervention areas: Belgium, Burkina Faso, and Uganda.
• Thematic: the ETE will assess the entire project, covering the analysis of the 2 specific objectives of the project, the interventions in the 3 countries, and the expected results.

Our approach to conducting this evaluation and the methodological tools is as follows:

• A theory-based approach relying on a contribution analysis that links together the inputs and activities of an intervention with its expected outcomes and impacts. A Theory of Change (ToC) is used to explain this intervention logic.
• Process evaluation: This methodology allows for understanding how well a program is working, the extent to which the program is being implemented as designed, and whether the implementation mechanisms are sufficiently efficient. While focusing on the “how” and “why”, it observes variances to initially intended, planned, and implemented activities.
• Collaborative and utilisation-focused approach: We will ensure to establish our analysis, interpretation, judgement and recommendations with an active involvement of evaluation users. This will not only improve the quality of our work but also allow a greater ownership and dissemination of our findings.
• Capitalising on existing data & evidence and combining qualitative and quantitative investigations: gather existing data from multiple sources, mainly the project management team and the beneficiaries, but also from the literature. Quantitative data provides hard evidence on the desk review, informs about the initial needs assessment and design of the programme, its implementation process, and outcomes.
• a mixed methods approach to conduct this evaluation, using a variety of tools to collect and generate credible evidence and respond to the evaluation questions. This methodology has been designed also to generate “useful” learning throughout the evaluation process for the project management and for Enabel in general.
