1. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT OF THE EVALUATION

The evaluation proposed aims at analyzing the project “Socio-economic development in 8

communities adjacent to N.R. of Chome, through the ginger business. Tanzania”. The

action started on 15th June of 2014 and it is finishing on 31th October of 2016. The total cost

of the project is 267.078,75 €, with a contribution of Obra Social La Caixa of 262.978,75 €.

The overall objective of the project is “To reduce poverty in Tanzania's rural population,

through an economic development intervention with an environmental sustainability

approach”. The specific objective is “To strengthen the economic and productive fabric of

eight (8) communities in the surroundings of the Chome Nature Reserve, working on the

ginger value chain, with a gender and environmental sustainability approach”. The

estimated results of the project are:

• ER.1 Ginger productivity increased by promoting improved agricultural practices and a more efficient water use;

• ER.2 Enhanced ginger marketing by the organization of the producers, the access to information and the connection to markets through innovative approaches;

• ER3. Ginger business models development by analyzing alternative processing and marketing;

• ER4. Improved access to credit (Financial Capital) through the support to community savings and credit organizations.

Detailed information about activities, indicators and sources of verification of the project

can be found in the logical framework annexed (see Annex 1). Also it´s attached the

timeline of the project (Annex 2) and the control panel which has been used along all the

project for monitoring its advances and progresses.

The Direct Beneficiaries of the Project are all the members of the families who produce

ginger in the following rural communities: Lugulu, Kanza, Mtii, Myombo, Vuje, Mvaa, Bombo

and Mjema. All of them are in Same district, adjacent to the Natural Reserve of Chome.

The total population of these communities is 20.081, and 4.860 out of them are directly

targeted by the Action. It also indirectly targets population of the villages located in the

down part of Hingilili and Yongoma subcatchments, summing up a total of 24.820 people.

This initiative has been implemented in partnership with Faida Market Link, local

counterpart of the project, and in close coordination and with the permanent involvement

of Same District Council, as institutional partner. ONGAWA, as main applicant has been in

charge of the general coordination of the project and also has implemented directly result

1. Beneficiaries´ communities and their governments and leaders have played a key role

along the Action. At the beginning of the project a MOU was signed with each of them.

The evaluation will be leaded by ONGAWA although it has been designed with full

participation of the abovementioned actors. Besides the required analysis of the level of

achievement of the objectives and results of the project, a deep identification and

development of the main lessons learnt together with a full study of recommendations for

sustainability of this action and for the design of possible complementary future phases are

expected as main results. Also the team in charge of this evaluation is especially interested

in the analysis of the impact of the action, mainly among women and vulnerable groups.

2. THE ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE EVALUATION

The main purposes of the evaluation can be divided into 2 different categories, as follows:

a) Objectives of Accountability:

- To reinforce the analysis of the relevance and fulfilment of general and specific

objectives and the expected results, done by the implementing team, validating and

verifying the information available and providing qualitative complementary data.

Particular weight will be given to measure the achievement of gender objectives

pursued by the intervention.

- To asses achieved impacts, especially among vulnerable groups within the

communities, and analyze the factors of sustainability, replicability and scaling-up of

the project´s benefits.

b) Objectives of Learning:

- To provide inputs for strengthening ONGAWA´s methodology in economic

development projects in the country, mainly in Tanzania. Particularly, it will

contribute to enhance the implementation of the project denominated "The species

as sources of incomes in Usambara Mountains (Tanzania)” which is starting on

October 2016 and it is also funded by Fundación Obra Social La Caixa. Key

recommendations are especially expected related to the way of working with the

main counterpart in both projects (Faida Mali) and also in the strategy of

commercialization of cash crops.

- To reinforce the general strategy of promotion of ginger as a key cash crop in the

country and especially in Same district. The conclusions and recommendations will

be key inputs for Same District Council who has been intensively working in this

component in the last years.

- Lastly, to provide recommendations for further development and successful

performance of Chome AMCOS (umbrella organization of the different economic

groups of farmers). In this sense, the evaluation is expected to provide key

orientations and recommendations for the formulation of a possible future phase of

this project.

The target audience of the evaluation will be ONGAWA members (including the teams in

other countries where ONGAWA is working and specially the team in Muheza District), our

main counterpart (Faida Mali), Same District Council, Fundación Obra Social La Caixa and

the beneficiary groups.

The final report will be submitted by ONGAWA to Fundación La Caixa. After that, the

document will be published in ONGAWA website, will be distributed by email to the target

groups and workshops and meetings will be hold in order to disseminate the results of the

Evaluation.

GUIDE FOR PRODUCTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION PROJECT FINAL

EVALUATION. OBRA SOCIAL LA CAIXA

STRUCTURE TYPE OF THE EVALUATION REPORT

The executive summary (Maximum 5 pages)

The evaluation report must contain an executive summary, which contains the main results of

the evaluation, the obtained learnings and recommendations made by the evaluation team.

The executive summary is a very important communication tool. It must be synthetic, while

containing all the necessary information to allow the reader to benefit from the results of the

evaluation process. Even if it appears at the beginning of the evaluation report, it can only be

actually drafted once the report is completed.

Introduction to the evaluation report( Maximum 4 pages)

The introductory chapter must contain the following elements:

• An introduction, including a brief description of the intervention (including the people

involved, the objectives-results and activities main deadlines and budget)

• A brief description of the background and justification of the evaluation

• Presentation of the objectives, expected results and scope of the final evaluation

exercise

• The limitations of the evaluation

• A synthesis of the research methodological design (the methodology details - methods

of data collection and processing of the information; survey design; methods for

sample selection and /or the organization of focus groups and workshops, work

schedule of the evaluative team; etc.) will be included in the annexes

Analysis of the criteria and evaluation questions (Maximum 25-30 pages - about 5-6 pages

per criterion)

This chapter represents the central part of the evaluation report and contains a description of

the results of the evaluation.

The chapter is generally divided into sections according to each criterion of evaluation:

• relevance,

• efficiency

• effectiveness

• impact

• sustainability

Each section (i.e. each criterion) is further subdivided into sub-headings corresponding to the

guidance questions put 19 forward by the evaluation proposal (see sections 3.1 and 2.2 for

more detail on the evaluation questions)

Conclusions and recommendations (maximum 10 pages)

Like the previous chapter, this case also represents a central chapter of the evaluation report,

which contains:

• The set of conclusions and learning arising from the evaluative work, usually

numbered and

• structured by evaluation criteria to facilitate its reading and;

• The set of recommendations and suggestions, also numbered and structured on the

basis of the conclusions. On a general basis, each conclusion must correspond to

one/several recommendation(s) of action with an indication of who has the

responsibility to implement them.

Finally it may be advisable to include a section in this chapter on new actions to be promoted

for the continuity of those already undertaken.

Annexes

The evaluation report annexes must contain the documents prepared for the evaluation that

contain relevant information where a decision was made that it is better to include them as

annexes due to their volume and/or level of detail and also to facilitate the reading of the

evaluation report.

We refer to documents such as: the list of persons interviewed; the work plan; the synthesis of

the focus group meetings organized; the sources consulted; etc.
