Endline Evaluation Report: Empowering UASC, Refugees and Vulnerable Children in Greater Cairo (2024)

An endline evaluation report for the project “Empowering UASC, Refugees, and Vulnerable Children in Greater Cairo”. The endline evaluation found that the project effectively addressed the protection, education, and empowerment needs of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and vulnerable youth through a community-driven and adaptable approach. It aligned well with beneficiary priorities, particularly in child protection and education, and fostered strong internal and external collaboration. The project achieved high satisfaction rates and measurable improvements in mental health, resilience, and social integration, though challenges such as emotional distress, service delays, and regulatory hurdles were noted. Efficient resource use and sustainability efforts—like peer mentorship and community-led initiatives—show promise, but risks remain due to external factors like government restrictions on learning centers. Overall, the project made significant strides and offers valuable lessons for future programming.
