The overarching goal (impact level) of the EVA project was to promote gender equality, women’s empowerment through strengthened implementation of gender mainstreaming in local public policies, and to combat domestic violence affecting women and children, in two selected districts (Cahul, Ungheni) from Moldova. The project had two outcomes: (1) Gender equality is mainstreamed in the local policymaking and decision taking by the local public authorities (LPAs); (2) Victims of domestic violence, including sexual violence, have greater access to effective survivor-focused multidisciplinary services, and violence prevention is piloted in local schools and communities. The purpose of the final evaluation of the EVA Project were twofold to: i) Assess the programmatic progress and final project performance based on the evaluation criteria (Relevance, Coherence, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Sustainability and Gender Equality and Human Rights) and identify good practices and lessons to be learned; and ii) Develop recommendations for the next phase of the project or other similar initiatives.
As a result of the final evaluation, the CO received eight broad recommendations that have been accepted fully/partially by the Country Office and key actions identified under each recommendation. The findings and the recommendations help the CO to further fine-tune the project design, scale up the good practices and consider the lessons learned for the development of the new project documents for negotiation with development partners, including EU.
