Background of the evaluation

FCA Kenya is currently implementing the second year of a project funded by the Bureau for Population, Refugees, and Migration (BPRM) education project named Right to Inclusive and Safe Education (RISE II) in Kalobeyei Settlement. The project is implemented across 8 primary schools that have a population of 22,176 learners (56% boys,44% girls) and 243 teachers. The project aims to promote enhanced access to inclusive, equitable, and quality primary education in a safe environment for refugee and host population boys and girls in Kalobeyei Refugee Settlement.

It addresses the needs of the most vulnerable children, including children with disabilities (CwDs), out-of-school children (OOSC), and overage learners’ children in Kalobeyei Settlement and surrounding host communities in Kenya. FCA Kenya is implementing the action and is accountable to the donor for the implementation of project activities. The activities are related to improving access to quality education through primary teacher education training, improving protection, safety, and well-being of learners in the schools, and increasing access to safe and inclusive primary education. The project also focuses on the psychosocial well-being of teachers and learners in the schools. The project is coming to an end in July 2023, thus the need for end-term evaluation. An end-term evaluation was conducted at the end of the RISE I in August 2022, which acted as a baseline for the project.
