DFID Performance Evaluation for the UK Aid Match II Programme
Ecorys UK
The purpose of this performance evaluation of the UK Aid Match II programme is to investigate two assumptions which the programme’s theory of change is built upon: that the programme leads to a wider and more diverse constituency of the UK public engaging with international development issues, leading to greater engagement and demand for transparency and accountability; and that the programme leads to increased public funding available to CSOs by matching donations from individuals. The evaluation is a learning opportunity, and will strengthen DFID’s work with civil society partners. Ecorys UK, with our evaluation partner IPSOS Mori, will develop evidence to test these assumptions using a theory based evaluation approach and will evaluate the programme using cutting edge quantitative evaluation techniques (randomised controlled trials) as well as other leading evaluation techniques to evaluate the impact and efficiency of the programme in reaching its objectives.

PO7805 - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Support Programme (KESP) – Performance and Process Evaluation
Ecorys UK
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 DFIDs 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.

Evidence generated through the pilot will help us to understand when DIBs may be an appropriate commissioning tool, how they can be designed to support providers to innovate and deliver better outcomes, and the costs and benefits of using DIBs.
