The Projects and their related Activities and Sub-Activities are described below. In addition, the Programme Logic in section 2.2 provides a high-level graphical depiction of the expected chain of events for each Activity while the map in Annex 5 portrays the geographic locations of MCA-N’s interventions across the country. All the Projects and their Activities and Sub- Activities were carried out in partnership with the relevant GRN Offices/Ministries/Agencies (O/M/As) and State-Owned Enterprises, as guided by Implementing Partner Agreements (IPAs) that MCA-N entered into with each. The Education Project was aimed at improving the quality of education and training and access for under-served groups, enhancing the quality of the country’s labour force and increasing employment opportunities for young people. The Activities and Sub-Activities of this project were: 1. Activity 1: Improving the quality of general education a.

The specific methodology and a refined set of evaluation questions will be outlined in the approved evaluation design report; in the meantime, some preliminary questions are highlighted below: • How has CLS contributed to increasing knowledge and awareness about land rights, laws, and procedures? • To what extent was the policy reform agenda of CLS effective and appropriate? • How and to what extent has CLS helped improve perceptions related to tenure security? To what extent has CLS helped to improve tenure security for women and other vulnerable groups? • Has CLS contributed to improved economic outcomes?

Agriculture Project. The CBLRM Activity will be subjected to rigorous impact evaluation. The evaluation will address the effectiveness of the Activity in improving herders’ value, grade and incomes. As the Activity is envisioned as a pilot, the evaluation will contribute to the justification for scaling up the Activity through arrangements outside this Compact. The evaluation will include measurement of outcomes of communities outside the target communities. The appropriate rigorous methodology will be used.
