DAMAX Solutions was commissioned to conduct a mid-term evaluation for the Aga Khan Foundation, assessing the project's progress toward achieving its intended outcomes. The evaluation aimed to determine the quality of education delivered, its alignment with Tanzanian mainland and Zanzibar government standards, and its effectiveness in strengthening early childhood education at the community level.
The project focused on enhancing pre-primary education by improving infrastructure and teacher capacity, fostering community and parental engagement, strengthening oversight and supervision, and creating a better teaching and learning environment.
To gather comprehensive insights, the evaluation engaged 260 children and 260 caregivers, conducted 26 teacher interviews, and included qualitative interviews with local leaders, project staff, and education officers from the two study locations.
This assessment provides critical insights into the project's impact and offers recommendations for ensuring sustainable improvements in early childhood education.
