Summary

The project “Digital skills and opportunities for youth employment towards digital economy in the Kyrgyz Republic’ was implemented by UNDP between February 2019 to December 2021 with a total budget of $1,060,000.

The objective of this evaluation report is to share the findings, conclusions and recommendations based on the theory-of-change-based evaluation of the project. The evaluation was both summative, presenting how the theory of change had operated towards results through the reference period, and formative, demonstrating what dynamics prepare the results to ultimately contribute to long term impact, and how future follow-up activities could be framed. The report aims to unpack the lessons learned and recommendations to UNDP as well as local and national duty bearers, the private sector and relevant CSOs.

The evaluation was commissioned and supervised by UNDP and entrusted to Mr. Tommaso Balbo Di Vinadio, International Consultant, Team Leader

The evaluation process was composed of 3 phases:

  1. Inception: review of documentation, elaboration of the methodology, identification of stakeholders, consultation with the Reference Group, elaboration of the Inception Report.
  2. Data collection and field work: conducting remote data collection (as per standard COVID-19 prevention measures, with a series of interviews, an additional desk-review).
  3. Data analysis and reporting: conducting the analysis of interview and focus group notes, analysis of project documentation, report drafting, and finalization of the Evaluation Report.

The evaluation process started on 22 October 2021. It should end 31 of December 2021 as per timeline.
