ILO – Road to Jobs: Bringing decent work to rural households in the Northern Provinces of Afghanistan
ILO – Road to Jobs: Bringing decent work to rural households in the Northern Provinces of Afghanistan

January 2021

The International Labour Organization (ILO) carried out the Road to Jobs (R2J) project 2015-2020 with the aim to create more and better jobs in two provinces of Northern Afghanistan: Balkh and Samangan. ILO reports that more than 60,000 people have recorded positive changes in their working conditions and/or income and approximately 120,000 beneficiaries from disadvantaged groups have been reached. Around USD 14 million have been generated over five years for poor-income earners and targeted MSMEs.

Samuel Hall was commissioned to conduct the final independent evaluation of R2J and assess its outcomes on market systems and local communities, using a mixed-methods approach and the OECD-DAC criteria to examine the project’s relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability in a holistic manner.

HALO Trust – An Independent Evaluation of the HALO Trust 2016-2020 Mine Action Programmes Funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs

February 2021

Between 2016 and 2020, the HALO Trust conducted mine action across eight projects: Afghanistan, Colombia, Kosovo, the West Bank (Palestinian Territories), Somalia, Somaliland, Syria, Ukraine and Yemen. With over 16m USD in funding from the Dutch MFA, HALO conducted landmine/ERW clearance, explosive ordnance risk education (EORE), and victim assistance (VA), in order to prevent injuries and death, return land to local communities and increase people's resilience. This independent evaluation assessed the performance of the global programme along OECD-DAC criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, impact and sustainability. It found the programme largely succeeded along these criteria.

UNMAS/UNOPS - Evaluation of the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan (MAPA)

October 2014

UNMAS and the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan (MAPA) are in a paradoxical situation. Successful and increasingly efficient over the past six years, the MAPA is now in a delicate position to negotiate the years to come, as it struggles to secure the yearly funding it needs to allow Afghanistan to fulfil its treaty obligations.
