RISE Learning Project on the Monitoring & Evaluation of Reintegration of Children and Adolescents – Consolidated Mid-Term Report for Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

Launched in 2015, the RISE Learning Network aims to promote and facilitate learning on Recovery and Reintegration (R&R) approaches that improve outcomes for children and adolescents affected by sexual exploitation (CSE) in three focus regions – Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Through corresponding regional hubs, RISE network members participate in various learning activities based on identified priority issues in the three regions. A major aspect of RISE is the implementation of three learning projects with the objective of capturing and generating learning at the grassroots level in a practical manner.

To this end, the first learning project intends to strengthen the awareness and capacities of organisations on the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of their reintegration interventions in order to more effectively track children’s and adolescents’ well-being and inform organisational programming and policy making.

This current report is a compilation of mid-term reviews submitted in February and March 2017 by learning partners of the project in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia (SA) and aims to capture key learning, themes, and innovative practice related to the M&E of reintegration programmes/interventions, including experiences and progress so far in the preliminary phase of the piloting process.
