Table 3 Impact evaluation: success and failure factors in CERCA
Success | Failures |
|---|---|
1) Bolivia and Ecuador: Achieved modest behavioral change | 1) Data collected at t0 and t1 only for adolescents and not other stakeholders |
2) Reduced taboo, increased sensitization on SRH | 2) Inaccuracies in survey data collection |
3) Organized and improved community participation | 3) Not all data collected was used in the impact evaluation |
4) Bolivia and Ecuador: Expanded SRH networks | 4) Necessary first steps were omitted in the ToC; thus, not evaluated |
5) Tested Information and communication technology (ICT) to increase communication in SRH | 5) No multi-country intervention package but a common monitoring format that prevented good monitoring and evaluation |
6) Contributed to multi-country project design | 6) Cost-effectiveness was not assessed. Not all the activities were evaluated due to time and budget restrictions. |
