The programme “Strengthening Civil Society to End Child Marriages in East and Southern Africa” has as its main objective to significantly reduce the occurrence of Child Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) and Early Pregnancy (EP). The main drivers of CEFM include religious practices, traditional practices, social norms, and poverty. Added to that is the lack of information on SRHR leading to EP. The project engages young people and the traditional figures of authority to pursue the implementation of laws and where appropriate, to report cases where child marriage cases persist. The measures are being implemented by country offices of Plan International in close collaboration with the following, not-for-profit independent partner organisations: Girls Empowerment Network (GENET) in Malawi, Women in Social Entrepreneurship (WISE) in Tanzania, and Simukai Child Protection Programme (Simukai) in Zimbabwe. In Zambia, Plan International is implementing the project without a local partner. The Plan Centre of Excellence 18+ (CoE), based within Plan Zambia is responsible for the regional coordination of the project and for implementing the activities at the sub-regional level. The objective of this evaluation is accountability to the main donor, the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. Another objective is learning from this programme to improve and build on good practices for potential future programmes. Muthengo Development Solutions was commissioned by Plan International Germany to conduct the final evaluation of the 03 programme. MDS conducted data collection in Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. MDS roles included assessing the programme indicators for the endline programme; re-checking indicator values against the sources of verification and measuring some of the not yet collected indicator values; Assessing the six OECD-DAC evaluation criteria and answering corresponding evaluation questions with a special focus on the criteria impact; sustainability and coherence.; report writing and presentation of evaluation results to the four implementing countries, relevant stakeholders in the respective national evaluation workshops and global workshop.
