The Education Above All (EAA) foundation launched the Al Fakhoora Scholarship and Empowerment Programme in 2009 to promote the right to education in conflict and post-conflict regions. Phase I of the programme was implemented from 2009 to 2018 with co-funding from the Islamic Development Bank. Upon successful completion of the first phase and the positive impact seen on the students and their families, Phase II of the programme was launched in 2014 supporting 630 post-secondary students from underserved backgrounds in Gaza to optimize their potential to excel in their academic and professional life. The programme was implemented by UNDP in collaboration with local civil society organizations.

The main objective of this evaluation was to assess the performance of the programme and the extent to which the expected results have been achieved. The evaluation identified best practices and lessons learned and provide practical recommendations for EAA, UNDP and relevant stakeholders’ future interventions. The evaluation objectives have been operationalized and guided through a series of evaluation questions and sub-questions, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to facilitate triangulation and the robustness of the evaluation findings.

The Multi Year Water Allocation System (MYWAS) project (2011 – 2014) has been implemented by the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) under the coordination of the Czech Development Agency (CZDA). It has built upon stage wise support from the Czech development cooperation (CZDC) to effective integrated water resource planning dating back to 2008. The intended outcome of the project was the introduction of MYWAS for optimizing planning of investments in the water and sanitation sectors using economic aspects as the main criteria.
The principal purpose of the evaluation was to obtain objectively substantiated and consistent conclusions that can be used in the decision-making of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), in collaboration with the CZDA, on the future direction and implementation modalities of the CZDC in the Palestinian Autonomous Territories in general and in the water sanitation and hygiene sector in particular. The evaluation covered the progress in the implementation of the unfinished project, with an emphasis on the roles played by all stakeholders and their interaction.
