PO7805 - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Support Programme (KESP) – Performance and Process Evaluation

Description

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Sector Programme (KESP) supports the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP), Pakistan, to deliver equitable access to better quality education across the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). In particular, it aims to improve learning outcomes for all children, especially girls and other marginalised children The purpose of this project is to determine how well the programme has performed but also about what sort of education sector support works to improve education systems, what the relative contribution of different components of DFID support has been, and what the unintended effects of these programmes, if any, may have been. This learning is mainly relevant to Pakistan but could be applicable in other contexts too. This would help DFID and partner governments design better education programmes. An independent evaluation will also enhance DFID’s accountability to stakeholders, including UK taxpayers, for how well the programme performs and the value for money that it represents. The evaluation will look at the overall performance KESP and its contribution to towards the achievement of the logframe and ESP goals. DFID is interested in evaluating the entire programme to capture how the various components (sector budget support, technical assistance and infrastructure) and strands (teaching and learning, better school facilities, equity and access, and management) of the programme contribute to the final outcome and what linkages between components as well as strands work best to produce results.
