End-line Evaluation Assessment BRICKS Project

Since 2019, Save the Children has been implementing the BRICKS project in 4 townships of Northern Shan state and 2 townships of Kachin State, which aim to “increase resilience to shocks and conflict for targeted population, and protect adolescents and children from trafficking and unsafe migration”. BRICKS project is funded by UNOPS, under the Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT).

The project worked through multi-sectoral and integrated interventions in nutrition, livelihoods and child protection. BRICKS focused on youth and adolescent boys and girls, pregnant and breastfeeding women and children 0-23 months of age, living in IDPs camps, host communities and conflict affected villages in Kachin and Northern Shan States. In these areas, the project was implemented with 2 partners, namely Winpung Ninghpoi (WPN) and Highland Development Initiative (HDI). BRICKS provided direct support to the most vulnerable individuals and their households’ members to overcome unemployment, trafficking, unsafe migration and undernutrition.

The endline study aimed to establish the status of key programmatic indicators after the implementation of key interventions, as well as to reflect on the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of the key project interventions. The endline also enabled critical performance monitoring and overall reflection on the progress made toward anticipated outcomes and milestones.
