Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Endline Evaluation for the Holistic Action Project for Young Adolescents 151 views1 applications


  1. Introduction

DSW Kenya is a locally registered representative country office of DSW (Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung), an international development and advocacy organization with headquarters in Hannover, Germany that seeks to empower young people and communities in low and middle-income countries by addressing issues of population dynamics and health as a key to sustainable development. It is committed to creating demand for and access to health information, services and supplies and economic empowerment for youth. We achieve this by engaging in advocacy, capacity development, and reproductive health initiatives, so that young people are empowered to lead healthy and self-determined lives. DSW envisions a world where all youth – especially girls and young women – live free from disease and make independent and informed choices over their sexual and reproductive lives with full access to sexuality education, health services and modern contraceptives.

  1. The Project Background

Young adolescents (YA) and youth between 10 and 19 years comprise 23.7 percent of Kenya’s population (Kenya Population and Housing Census 2019). In absolute numbers, that referred to over 12.7 million Kenyan adolescents. A young adolescent is a person aged between 10 and 14 years who is in the process of developing from childhood to adulthood. Young adolescents (YA) are in a period of dramatic intellectual, physical, psychological and social transformation. This age group represents a unique sub-group of adolescents undergoing rapid physical, cognitive and emotional changes related to puberty. It is also at this age that many young adolescents first engage in sexual activity. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services are therefore crucial for this age cohort. Many young adolescents lack knowledge about the physical changes happening in their bodies and need reassurance and support to deal with them. However, their parents/guardians and other adults are usually unprepared to deal with such changes. In most African societies, topics on sexuality are considered a taboo and parents lack the skills or time to communicate effectively about them with their children. In schools, teachers who should provide SRHR education are constrained in terms of skills and time, and typically focus on those subjects that are examinable. Consequently, young adolescents often do not have adequate support from their social surroundings, appropriate information, access to youth-friendly health services, protection, and decision-making power or the life skills that are needed to handle SRHR issues.

Despite the government introducing sexuality education into the curriculum, poor SRHR outcomes are widespread and evident through high rates of unintended pregnancies among teenagers. According to statistics, in Kilifi and West Pokot, teenage pregnancies amongst girls aged 15-19 stand at 13 and 36 percent respectively (Kenya Demographic and Health Survey 2022). Adolescent pregnancy puts girls and young women at heightened risk of contracting HIV, STIs and cervical cancers and makes them susceptible to other health challenges. Contributing factors include: (i) inadequate knowledge about SRHR and poor access to SRH services, (ii) lack of community support and harmful practices and social norms, (iii) economic vulnerability, (iv) lack of political good will and (v) weak voice and agency. Unintended pregnancies often lead to school-drop outs. While primary school enrolment is at 84% and 85%, transition rates to secondary school are at 26% and 19% in Kilifi and West Pokot respectively (Basic Education Statistical Booklet 2014). Against this background, DSW Kenya implemented the Holistic Action Project for Young Adolescents (HAPA) in Kilifi and West Pokot Counties, aiming to increase access to youth-friendly SRHR services and information, create a supportive school and community environment, ensure that young adolescents participate in leadership and decision-making processes, and engage decision makers at the community, county and national level.

  1. Project objectives and outputs

Overall, HAPA envisages that young adolescent boys and girls aged 10-14 in Kenya take conscious and informed decisions about leading a healthy and self-determined life.

Project outcome: 7,000 boys and girls aged 10-14 in Kilifi and West Pokot counties have improved Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) by 2022.

The project aimed to achieve the following five key outputs throughout the implementation period:

  1. Targeted young adolescents have increased access to age appropriate SRHR information.
  2. A supportive school and community environment is created, promoting young adolescents’ SRHR and access to SRH services, with a focus on tackling gender inequalities.
  3. Targeted young adolescents have increased advocacy and leadership skills to participate in leadership and decision-making processes at the community, county and national level.
  4. Decision makers prioritise and support young adolescents’ SRHR at the community, county and national level.
  5. DSW Kenya is strengthened as an institution for enhanced programme delivery and organisational management.

Project areas and location: Specifically, the project intended to improve SRHR and protection of young adolescents in (and around) nine primary schools in Kaloleni Sub countyinKilifi county and five primary schools in North Pokot Sub county in West Pokot county, Kenya.

Target group: 7,000 young adolescents aged 10 to 14 in 14 primary schools.

Direct beneficiaries included 630 in-school youth club members who are organised in 14 in-school youth clubs, 56 peer educators, 6,300 in-school boys and girls, 28 YA champions, 28 contact teachers, 3 Youth Empowerment Centers (YEC), 12 youth mentors and 28 mentor parents. Cooperation partners include county officials and community leaders, 5 Community Action Committees (CACs), School Management Committees (SMCs), 10 journalists, 5 Paralegal Officers, 28 Law Enforcement Officers and 28 health service providers.

Many project activities targeted pupils, teachers, parents and community members in and around fourteen (14) primary schools. In addition, DSW Kenya is to be strengthened as an institution for enhanced programme delivery. DSW Kenya’s staff are to be trained in results-based management (RBM), monitoring and evaluation (M&E), gender responsive programming (GRP) and financial management. Further, the operational procedures and processes including policies and strategies and the effectiveness of the Board of Directors is to be strengthened. HAPA is co-financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

  1. Purpose and Objectives of the Endline Evaluation

The End of project evaluation will be conducted at the end of the project, involving the target group and relevant stakeholders. Guided by the Logical Framework and using the baseline and target values established at the start of the project, the objective of the evaluation is to assess, measure, and determine the impact of the project interventions.

Broad study areas include:

  1. Young adolescents’ knowledge about SRHR and access to SRH services in primary schools.
  2. Level of community awareness and support for young adolescents SRHR, prevalence of harmful practices and social norms hindering improved young adolescents SRH.
  3. Level of economic vulnerability among target households.
  4. Level of awareness of relevant decision makers on young adolescent’s policies, guidelines and budgets supporting their SRHR and Protection.
  5. Level of young adolescents’ advocacy and leadership skills in engaging with decision makers.

Specific study objectives based on project indicators:

  • Determine the number of girls aged 10 to 19 in project schools who have dropped out of school due to pregnancy related causes.
  • Determine the number of young adolescents in project schools who have dropped out of school as a result of causes other than pregnancy.
  • Determine the level of existing knowledge on SRHR among young adolescents in project schools.
  • Assess the types, availability and content of IEC material accessed by young adolescents in project schools.

  • Determine quality, quantity and type of activities related to SRH and youth empowerment offered by Youth Empowerment Centres.
  • Assess collaboration of targeted YECs with surrounding health centres.
  • Determine the types of youth-friendly SRHR teaching methodologies applied by teachers.
  • Assess the coverage and content of SRHR topics taught in project schools.
  • Assess the level of engagement of school management committee members on young adolescents’ SRH as well as any policy arrangements.
  • Assess community structures around project schools involved in supporting SRHR and relevant issues of young adolescents.
  • Assess the level of open communication between parents and young adolescents on SRHR.
  • Assess parents’ knowledge and information on children’s rights.
  • Assess the project area households’ economic vulnerability.
  • Assess the level of awareness among key decision makers on prioritising adolescents’ SRH and protection from relevant authorities.
  • Determine number and content of county plans and county budgets addressing YA SRH and related concerns.
