Mid Term Evaluation of Change the Game Academy Programme 2016-2018

Between October 2018 and January 2019, the Wilde Ganzen Foundation commissioned to undertake a Mid-term Evaluation (MTE) of the Change the Game Academy (CtGA) programme, covering the period 2016 and 2018.

The CtGA aims to empower self-help groups (SHGs), community based organisations (CBOs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) all over the world, but especially in low- and middle-income countries, to learn to raise funds locally (through courses on Local Fundraising) and to mobilise other kinds of support (through courses on Mobilising Support, which relate to lobbying and advocacy).

The MTE aimed to provide an objective assessment of the support of CtGA to SHGs, CBOs, and NGOs, and to provide insight and learning into success factors and barriers, as well as lessons learned and recommendations for the rest of the implementation period. The MTE involved country studies in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, India and Kenya, as well as a review of monitoring data (pre- and post-training assessments) collected from trained participants.
