Blended methodologies and tangible recommendations
We work with NGOs, CBOs, and other community organisations which share our passion for delivering positive change, supporting them in developing, implementing, and evaluating their interventions, focused on measuring tangible impact and providing recommendations which are implementable and contextually-grounded.
Many of our projects involve working closely with NGOs, including as programme designers, advisors, evaluators, supporting these organisations as they grow, take on new projects, apply for grant funding, or prepare for transition following the conclusion of a funded programme.
We have seen, and understand, the challenges often faced, and work directly with organisations to mitigate them through building internal capacity, developing or adjusting programme frameworks and theories of change, providing technical support to project managers during project design or restructure, and supporting in developing sustainability and exit strategies to ensure the organisation can continue to operate post-funding.
Over the past eight years, we have delivered and supported participatory mid-term and final evaluations for UN Agencies, NGOs, and not-for-profits in five countries.
CASE STUDY
Mid-term evaluation of complex UN programmes
ILO and UNICEF contracted Delta Strategies to conduct a participatory mid-term evaluation of the USD 15m budget ‘Towards an inclusive social protection system and accelerating job opportunities for Syrians and Jordanians’ programme, implemented jointly by ILO and UNICEF in Jordan.
This mid-term evaluation of a complex and multifaceted programme involved extensive desk review of project documents, direct fieldwork through interviews with project staff, stakeholders, beneficiaries and partners, focus group discussions, and extensive validation workshops.
