performance evaluation - local works

The United States Agency for International Development Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (USAID/BiH) commissioned the USAID/BiH’s Monitoring and Evaluation Support Activity (MEASURE II) to conduct a performance evaluation of the USAID/BiH Local Works (LW) program. LW is a $9.95 million program that consists of six Activities implemented by five local organizations: Improving the Legal Framework for Philanthropy (ILFP), implemented by the Mozaik Foundation; Capacity Development Activity (CDA), implemented by the Institute for Youth Development KULT; Network Development Activity (NDA), implemented by the Network for Building Peace; Together for Local Development (TLD), implemented by the Center for Civic Cooperation (CGS) Livno; Our Community is Our Responsibility (OCOR), implemented by Tuzla Community Foundation; and LW Local Resource Organization Assistance Activity in BiH, also implemented by the Network for Building Peace.

The performance evaluation examined LW’s progress in strengthening and improving the capacities of local organizations, improving collaboration among LW partners and other actors, increasing philanthropic activity and fundraising, and resolving local issues by supporting locally-led initiatives. In addition to evaluating the Activities’ progress toward their objectives, this research also assessed the local organizations and communities’ future priorities for programming. The Mission and the implementing partners (IPs) can use the evaluation and assessment results to make adaptations to the ongoing LW Activities and inform the design of new Activities under the program.
