EU: Evaluation For The EU Trust Fund in Kenya
EU: Evaluation For The EU Trust Fund in Kenya

December 2022

Samuel Hall was commissioned to evaluate the EU Trust Fund in Kenya. This evaluation was used to inform the next phase of EU funding to start in 2023.

The overall findings of this evaluation point to a positive track record despite a historically challenging context of a global pandemic and of an extreme drought affecting the arid and semi-arid lands of Turkana and Garissa. The findings show that continued funding and support is needed as policy openings in Kenya expand the range of possibilities and can change the approach to solutions in refugee hosting areas, beyond camp-based approaches.

The outcome of this workshop is concrete and operational: a set of possible key objectives and indicators that can help guide NGOs in their work with Afghan refugee youth, as well as facilitate improved donor and host government understanding of key issues. The centrality of better data was voiced by all NGOs present, a priority need in Iran and Pakistan, as well as upon return to Afghanistan, to enable tailored programming that support youth’s potential and are aligned with their aspirations.
