    Evaluation of the US Peace Corps Volunteers Small Project Assistance (SPA) Program<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

    \r\n

    TBSC implemented an evaluation of the US Peace Corps Volunteers Small Project Assistance (SPA) Program. Within the collaboration, from 2009 to 2012 BSC evaluated a total of 15 SPA projects, which have been implemented by Peace Corps volunteers and project partners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    As part of the evaluation, BSC paid specific attention to project sustainability and evaluated every operational and procedural aspect of each project.<\/p> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

      The goal of this collaboration was to conduct program evaluation, revealing the positive and negative factors impacting the outcomes of each implemented project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      One of the most important factors the evaluation focused on was the \u201cmissed\u201d benefit, which is often hardly noticeable during the project implementation phase.<\/p> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

      The evaluation was aimed at understanding the impact of the SPA programs on communities and identifying the factors that contribute to the success and sustainability of each individual project.<\/p>\r\n

      BSC conducted fieldwork for 15 SPA programs, including face-to-face interviews with program stakeholders, partners, SPA Committee members and the US Peace Corps Armenia staff. Moreover, focus group discussions were conducted with project beneficiaries enabling a deeper assessment.<\/p> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

      Based on the data collected and the analysis of evaluation results, three cases studies have been developed, complete with recommendations for further activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      In addition to the comprehensive report evaluation, results were summarized and presented in a presentation session, followed by Q&A sessions with BSC consultants, Peace Corps Armenia staff and SPA Committee members.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
