Project description

The โ€œWe Cannot Wait: Towards an Inclusive and Diverse Womenโ€™s Movement in the Greater Horn of

Africa (WCW)โ€ project is led by an entirely Southern-based consortium of organizations and is

focused on building an inclusive and cohesive womenโ€™s movement in the Greater Horn of Africa

(GHoA). The Power of Women programme enables organizations such as SIHA and its partners in the

Global South to shift power to indigenous womenโ€™s organizations and in turn share its power with

grassroots individuals and groups. The overall objective of the consultancy was to strengthen project Monitoring and evaluation skills among consortium members and give guidance to sharpen Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the existing WCW Project Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) Frameworkโ€™ through reflection and training.

Three training sessions were provided, 6 monitoring tools were designed and rolled out in the consortium, IATI results reporting was supported and the baseline study was linked to the WCW monitoring framework.

Project Scope:

The We Cannot Wait programme started in January 2021 and runs until December 2025. The programme is implemented in the following countries: Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Somaliland, Ethiopia, and Uganda. Project and monitoring staff from all countries and all partner organisations involved, participated in the trainings.

Result:

Several training sessions were conducted in order to enhance a generic knowledge within the WCW staff on data quality and data collection in combination with clear reporting tools, Dutch MoFA PMEL requirements, and WCW monitoring tools and templates to fulfil those requirements. Participants gained a basic understanding of MEL principles and concepts. In addition, participants learned how to report on the programme in IATI. Finally, six monitoring tools were developed and rolled out in the WCW consortium.
