Mid Term Evaluation IDEA Project

The IDEA project was designed to improve literacy levels and increase the use of better food and health practices in primary school age children in the department of El Quiché using products and funds provided by FAS.

The mid-term evaluation of the Investment for Educational Development of the Highlands – IDEA – Project was carried out from May to August 2016 and covered the project implementation period from October 2014 to May 2016. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the quality of implementation, achievements and/or progress to date, to identify areas which need improvement and to generate recommendations for the remaining implementation period.

The Mid-Term Evaluation revealed that in the implementation period from the baseline survey to the present, the IDEA Project has generated significant changes in the school-age children, in the teaching, and in the community, municipal and national contexts.
