Services Provided:

Poseidon provided a team of 3 experts to complete a final project evaluation. A theory of change was developed, evaluation questions (and their judgement criteria and indicators) were specified, research methods and tools defined, and consultations completed. The collection and review of primary and secondary data allowed for a high quality evaluation against DAC evaluation criteria (sustainability, effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence, and acceptability). The evaluation findings were validated by stakeholders during workshops facilitated by the experts.
