End-line Evaluation of the USAID/BHA-Funded Integrated Multisectoral Assistance for Conflict-Affected Vulnerable Populations in Greater Maiduguri
The Integrated Multisectoral Assistance for Conflict-Affected Vulnerable Populations in Greater Maiduguri Project aimed to alleviate suffering, uphold human dignity, and save the lives of men, women, girls, boys under five years (U5), and Pregnant and Lactating Women/Girls (PWL/Gs) in MMC and Jere LGAs, Borno State.
The purpose of this end-line assessment was to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of Save the Children’s Integrated Multisectoral Assistance for Conflict-Affected Vulnerable Populations in Greater Maiduguri Project. The specific objectives of the evaluation were:
The evaluation utilized mixed methods and relied on both primary and secondary data sources to gather information. The data collection methods used at baseline, including the tools and sample sizes, were replicated for comparability of findings, and PDM (Post-Distribution Monitoring) data was also considered.
The Bodmando consultants conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of existing project documents, carried out 24 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), 15 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and surveyed 1,267 participants sampled across the various thematic areas.
The evaluation was inclusive, considering cross-cutting issues such as gender, age, disability, and other vulnerability considerations, as well as the sensitivity of social norms and practices. It followed a participatory and consultative approach, incorporating a child-centered approach, an intersectional approach, and the OECD DAC criteria.
Bodmando’s evaluation unlocked critical value by providing a comprehensive and reliable assessment of the program’s impact, progress, and effectiveness across food security, child protection, WASH, shelter, and nutrition sectors. By replicating baseline methods and incorporating diverse perspectives—including gender, age, and disability considerations—the evaluation ensured inclusivity and contextual relevance.
Using a participatory approach, Bodmando not only highlighted program achievements but also identified lessons learned, unintended outcomes, and actionable recommendations for future improvement. This rigorous analysis empowered stakeholders with evidence-based insights to refine strategies, amplify successes, and drive meaningful, sustainable change for vulnerable populations in Greater Maiduguri.
