CONTEXT
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is a ministry of the Society of Jesus, acting as an international non-governmental organization with a mission to accompany, serve, and advocate for the rights of refugees and forcibly displaced people. The organization was founded in 1980 and has a presence in 58 countries. In Uganda, JRS operates in two locations, Kampala and Adjumani in the West Nile Region, offering services encompassing basic needs, education, mental health & psychosocial support, livelihoods, socio-economic integration, pastoral care, peacebuilding, and reconciliation. br>BACKGROUND
As part of its Strategic Framework 2019-2023, Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) prioritized reducing the gap between primary and secondary school enrollment, especially for girls. The JRS Global Education Initiative reflected this priority through its focus on promoting secondary education for those most in need.
Guided by JRS’s Gender-Responsive Education Framework, GRE projects have implemented interventions across several domains including financial and in-kind support, Menstrual Hygiene and Hygiene (MHH) support, teacher training, community engagement, and alternative education pathways for young mothers and vulnerable youth over the last 6 years. The GRE initiative in Adjumani built on the findings of a comprehensive gender analysis conducted in 2020, which validated both supply- and demand-side barriers to girls' secondary education. These findings informed the design of interventions that are context-specific, culturally sensitive, and rooted in both global best practices and local realities. The projects not only aimed to improve girls’ access to and completion of secondary education but also sought to influence broader gender norms and promote community ownership of gender equality in education.
SCOPE OF WORK AND METHODOLOGY
SCOPE
The assessment will cover all major activities implemented under the GRE project between 2020 and 2024 focusing on selected secondary schools in Adjumani and Obongi refugee settlements.
The GRE Impact Evaluation work will cover assessing the relevancy, effectiveness, sustainability, transparency, impact of the project activities and how the communities served have been impacted by the GRE projects. The work will also include determining the lessons learnt by the various project actors and stakeholders in terms of factors responsible for project successes and failures so far; evaluation of risks and threats to the implementation and achieving the set outcomes and impact; and how the successes will inform the implementation and management of future projects.
It will target key stakeholders including learners, teachers, School Management Committees (SMCs), Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs), and relevant local authorities.
OBJECTIVES OF THE EVALUATION


To assess the extent to which the GRE project design and interventions were appropriate and responsive to the specific gender-related educational needs and priorities of refugee and host community girls, as identified in the 2020 gender analysis.
o determine the extent to which the GRE project achieved its intended outcomes, particularly in improving girls’ access to, retention in, and completion of secondary education, and any failures or setbacks. < r> T examine the broader and long-term intended or unintended changes resulting from the GRE project on gender equality in education and community attitudes toward girls’ education and girls’ rights more in general.
