Bodhi carried out a multi-country mid-term evaluation of Plan International Belgium's 5 year programme (funded by the DGD). The programme was implemented in 8 countries (Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Ecuador, Niger, Senegal, Tanzania and Vietnam) across 4 continents (Africa, Asia, Europe and South America). The outcomes for each country of operation were different, but the overall DGD programme outcome was to 'contribute towards the economic and social empowerment of adolescents and young people, especially adolescent girls and young women'. Bodhi conducted participatory primary data collection (in the form of KIIs, FGDs and a Bridge Exercise Workshop) with each of the country teams. This ensured that participatory evaluation approaches were embedded throughout the evaluation and therefore contributed to the enhanced participation of children, adolescents and youth.
