End-of-project evaluation of the Enabling University Peace Education in Regional Conflict/Post-conflict Settings (EUPE) Project
Bodhi is conducting an end-of-project evaluation of the British Council's Enabling University Peace Education (EUPE) project, implemented in Ethiopia and Sudan. This 3.5-year initiative aims to support young university graduates, particularly women, to effectively participate in peacebuilding. The evaluation will assess progress towards achieving the project’s outcomes, the relevance and effectiveness of its theory of change, and the impact of interventions at individual, institutional, and policy levels. Our approach integrates conflict sensitivity and gender responsiveness, ensuring the unique experiences of women and marginalised groups are adequately addressed. The evaluation uses a rigorous mixed-methods approach, including outcome harvesting to analyse changes and contributions from various stakeholders. This method is suitable for understanding the complex pathways of change in peace education and the participation of young graduates in peacebuilding. The methodology includes both qualitative and quantitative methods, such as Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and a thorough review of project documentation and data collected at the baseline. This comprehensive approach is structured along the OECD-DAC criteria, emphasising relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability. By employing a gender-sensitive, inclusive, and participatory approach, we aim to provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations to inform future programming. This project highlights Bodhi's expertise in conducting evaluations in complex, conflict-affected contexts, ensuring that the findings contribute to the learning and development of peace education initiatives in the region.
