The Peacebuilding, Education and Advocacy Programme (PBEA) is a four-year programme funded by the Government of the Netherlands, currently being implemented in 14 countries. The aim of the PBEA is to strengthen education policies and practices for peacebuilding.
The evaluability assessment was intended to provide the evidence required to answer the following question: “To what extent does the PBEA have the technical and strategic elements in place to manage effectively towards result and to credibly demonstrate such results in future evaluations?”
Undertaken in 2013, the evaluability assessment involved extensive data collection through systematic document review and analysis, stakeholder interviews, as well as country visits. The major conclusion of the evaluability assessment was that, if viewed as a unified global programme, the PBEA faces significant challenges in terms of its “evaluation readiness”. However, if viewed from a different perspective as a global approach applied to programmes in diverse country contexts, it appears that some country programmes require only a few inputs to make them evaluable, while others will require major inputs. The evaluability assessment offers advice and recommendations on how to improve the programme and bring it to the required level of evaluation readiness.
