1.0 BACKGROUND
Since time immemorial, in most African countries Zambia inclusive girls and women have recorded smaller numbers in terms of taking up leadership roles and positions. Statistics have shown that there are more men in top management positions compared to women who mostly occupy lower level positions with little influence to make decisions. This lower women’s participation in both large and small scale development sectors is as a result of the historical and cultural belief that education and leadership was for men. Because of such notions, most women and girls have been left out in endeavours to pursue competitive education life styles. Most times, girls and women have recorded smaller numbers in terms of academic prowess at tertiary level while at primary level fewer of them concentrate in technical subjects such as mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry. This trend has continued hitherto and has become a source of concern as it precludes them to participate in the diversifying economies that put such subjects at a centrepiece (Gender Baseline Study Report, Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development, EU/MSDP, 2006,)
While GIDD and the National Gender Policy addresses gender in various sectors of the economy, equitable participation of both women and men and benefiting from the development process at all levels, ensuring sustainable socio-economic development and the attainment of equality between the sexes has not been realised (GRZ: Poverty reduction Strategy paper, 2002-2004). Among the equalizers of equal participation and benefiting from development programs is education which is generally recognised as the key human development indicators with strong connections to other human development indicators such as enhanced health status, poverty reduction, low fertility rates, participation in decision-making.
However, educational statistics for Zambia indicate considerable inequalities between males and females. The World Bank, Zambia Strategic Country Gender Assessment Report 2004, indicates that in 2000, male literacy was much higher at 76.6% compared to 58.3% for females. On the other hand School dropout rates were indicated to be higher for girls than for boys. With regard to HIV and AIDS pandemic, gender-differentiated impact in terms of prevalence rates has been identified. The Ministry of Health Joint Annual Review Report of April 2008 showed that HIV prevalence rates vary significantly according to gender, age and geographic location. For instance, 16.1% of women were HIV positive compared to 12.6% of men, with women getting infected at younger ages than men. Statistics from Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship (TEVET) indicate that by 2005, female trainers in TEVET institutions accounted for only 24 percent compared to 76 percent for male. In terms of enrolments at the University of Zambia, while other schools were making strides to increase the number of female students’ enrolment, the School of Mines had no female student in 2005, only 3 in 2006 and 7 in 2007 (GRZ: National Employment and Labour market Policy, (2004,))
2.0 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Girl’s discrimination in pursuing education for leadership training and vocational skills development militates against their right to education as enshrined in the convention on the right of the child. Gender stereotypes that boys are better than girls still prevail in Zambia. Such stereotyping has compartmentalized careers for boys and girls and destined their participation in decision making, with girls taking up low paying jobs that have traditionally been perceived as female domains. Article 18 of the convention on the elimination of all form of discrimination against women reaffirms the need for government to put in place measures that are going to arrest such practices. In line with this article, government and non-governmental organisation have been working towards promoting girls active involvement in decision making and realising their potential where their performance is astonishingly low. To this day, both institutional and non-institutional barriers preventing girl’s participation in these subjects still prevail in Zambia, albeit with varying magnitudes depending on geographical localities and intervention put in place. It is for this reason that we aim to undertaken an evaluation of the leadership training programs for young women with a particular focus on education for young women’s participation in Zambia activities implemented through the Students’ and Academic’s International Assistance Fund’s (SAIH) Education for Young women’s participation in Zambia.
3.0 Our Understanding of the Terms of Reference
The Technical Proposal is based on the following assumptions and understanding:
❖ The primary objective of the evaluation is;
➢ To provide information on the achievements made by the programme and provide recommendations for decisions on the programme and the project success to SAIH and its partners.
❖ Other objectives include:
➢ To assess the extent to which the objectives of the program and project have been achieved.
➢ To inform the project leadership on development of the next program cycle.
➢ To review the program and the project activities that has been implemented from 2009 for their relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact in relation to program objectives.
➢ To ascertain the extent to which project activities of the three organisations are complementing each other and reinforcing the program goal and to which extent the program goal is achievable with its current project activities.
➢ To review project assessment, design, implementation/monitoring and evaluation processes.
➢ To review the significance of project strategies/objectives and identify met/unmet/ emerging needs and priorities
➢ To assess whether the project achieved the intended results and meet the benchmarked activities in the work plans
➢ To asses effectiveness of partnering and collaboration in the project
➢ To review project ownership, transition and sustainability strategy after phase out or in an event of donor pull out.
➢ To document lessons learnt and provide discrete management, administrative and technical recommendations for improving overall efficiency and effectiveness.
➢ To assess the participatory nature in the project by stakeholders (young women, communities, and partners) at various stages of the project cycle and establish the gapes
❖ A baseline study was undertaken at the start of the project.
SCOPE AND FOCUS OF THE EVALUATION
In addition to the above, the evaluation will assess the following:
a) Relevance
b) Effectiveness
c) Efficiency
d) Impact
e) Sustainability
EVALUATION DESIGN
4.1. Nature and source of data
In order to understand the process and generate lessons from the project to feed into future programming, the evaluation will collect both secondary and primary data in quantitative as well as qualitative form. Quantitative will be collected on the process and outputs while most of the data on the process and outcomes and impact will be qualitative in nature. Process data will be experiential data collected from the programme implementers and beneficiaries. Other individuals and organisations that have collaborated with the programme will also be consulted. The evaluation team will go to all programme sites for individual partners of SAIH’s Young women’s participation programme in Zambia: Youth Vision Zambia (YVZ), Young Women in Action (YWA) and Zambia National Women’s Lobby (ZNWL).
4.2. Data collection techniques
Data collection will start with review of documents from the projects. The documents contain key information such as the objectives of each project, the logical frameworks, annual work plans and budgets, progress achieved on targets and the challenges faced during implementation.
Most of the quantitative data will be collected from the projects’ data bases. An evaluation of this nature utilise participatory approaches as the main source for its primary, qualitative data. Participatory method will also be used to validate the data obtained from programme process reports through triangulation. After review of documents and confirmation of the scope of work, detailed methodology and specific tools and checklists will be developed and discussed with the client for adequacy and comprehensiveness in addressing the inquiry needs of the evaluation. Key participatory techniques envisaged include focus group discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews with beneficiaries and programme staff and key informant interviews (KII),
4.3. Focus Group Discussions (FGD)
The FGD will be essential to capture the views, feelings and expectations of the beneficiaries of the projects. These will constitute about 7-8 participants in each FGD in order to enhance participation. Such a group size should guarantee an interesting discussion, and at the same time will be easier to control than a group of larger size. Focus group discussions are important way of soliciting information among people because agreement between group members can build an elaborated and fuller picture of views whilst disagreement between group members may lead participants to defend their views and provide further explanation. Focus groups will be homogeneous, with participants of similar backgrounds.
4.4. In-depth interviews
Individual interviews will form one of the main methods of collecting data. To conduct the interviews, the study will use semi-structured questions. Expressive questions will allow for more explanations on perceptions and experiences of the projects and how it has either changed their lives in a positively or negatively manner. The interviewers will be probing the informant to elicit information, opinions, and experiences.
4.5. Key informant
The rationale for key informant interviews will be to discuss the subject of key interest in a more in-depth way than in individual interviews and focus groups. This will facilitate analysis of the views of project staff, collaborating partners and community leaders. This will aim at identifying lessons learned that will help improve future program implementation, as well as on assessing whether targets were achieved.
4.6. Case studies
Case studies on selected beneficiary households will facilitate the in depth analysis of specific activities that take place in these projects. This will involve focusing on the process as well as outcomes of the project activities, what can be learned and/or subsequently be replicated in other areas. This will also help to record anecdotes that will illustrate a program’s shortcomings or accomplishments. This will help to obtain information about incidents or concrete events, often from the project or an individual’s experience.
4.7. Observation
Observation is often seen as the main pillar of conducting qualitative research, allowing the researcher to spend time observing and interacting with groups. Participation observation will be conducted during the data collection process. In conducting this, attention will also be paid to spaces, events, and social practices that underpin the relationship between beneficiaries and project staff and general perceptions of people towards the project.
4.8. Informal discussions and brainstorming with programme staff
This will help to gather information from the key staff on how they perceived the project, which is the challenges, successes and what need to be improved in future. The more the project staffs are involved in identifying evaluation questions and in gathering and analyzing data, the more likely they are to use the information to improve project performance.
4.9. Stakeholder analysis
In order to capture the views of various stakeholders, partners and collaborators will also be consulted. These will include the various clients that that partner organisation are working.
4 Data analysis
Different types of data will be analysed as appropriate. Quantitative data will be presented in table, graphs and other formats that will be make easy their interpretation and understanding. Content and thematic analysis will be used to interpret qualitative data.
5 Potential limitations of the study
A study that requires consultation with a broader stakeholder base runs the risk of none availability of some of the key informant. Prior advance appointments need to be made in all cases.
Availability of all key documents, including the baseline is very key to the evaluation just like a clarification of the roles that memorandum of understanding emphasised. Electronic, as well as hard copies of all reports needs to availed to the evaluators

Currently I am the co-investigator working on a UNICEF countrywide survey, “A Study on Systems Addressing Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Zambia”. This is a five year research project that is aimed at studying different systems and how they coordinate in order to address gender based violence in Zambia which is rife. By using the systems conceptual framework it is hoped a better and effective way of coordination among stakeholders will be found which will subsequently help to resolve GBV in Zambia.
