Samuel Hall conducted a final independent evaluation to promote accountability and learning within ILO’s teams which undertook the programmatic interventions for R2DJ4ALL. The evaluation aimed to understand why and to what extent intended and unintended results were achieved and analysed the implications of the results.  A critical approach was adopted to conduct the evaluation as previous learnings from R2J were also factored into the design and methodology of the evaluation. 

According to Samuel Hall’s findings, R2DJ4ALL is considered relatively successful in coherence and market systems development, creating safe employment opportunities and effectively reaching gender objectives. The project was effective in achieving its objectives with positive changes in income and working conditions. However, its efficiency needs significant improvement due to issues with fund allocation. There is a need to provide more support to traditional and non-traditional businesses with innovative and technological approaches and initiate deeper collaboration with different stakeholders to achieve systemic changes and sustainability of the enterprises.
