Background Information on Plan International Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination, and it is girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters, and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood, and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national, and global levels using our reach, experience, and knowledge. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 75 countries. Read more about Plan International's Global Strategy: 100 Million Reasons at https://plan-international.org/strategy. Project Background Plan International Nigeria and Unique Care and Support Foundation (CASFOD), through the Swedish National Office (SNO) received a 2-year funding from Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO DG) to implement an integrated Education in Emergencies & Child Protection project in Borno State- Damboa, Mobbar and Kala Balge LGA), in North Eastern part of Nigeria, beginning 1st July, 2023. Two local partners have been involved in the implementation as well, Goalprime at the start of the project, and CASFOD from July 2025 to date. The integrated response sought to address the need risks and gaps identified by the Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) for ECHO HIP 2023 with the following key education needs: lack of security, insufficient school infrastructure, teacher's capacity challenge, inadequate ratio of teacher per learner, lack of financial means, together with child protection risks such as deteriorating psychological well-being, child marriage and high levels of violence against children and a lack of protective services within schools. With an emphasis on IDPs, returnees, and host communities, Plan International Nigeria response reinforces and was aligned with DG ECHO programmatical priorities of HIP 2023. In particular, the Action sought to meet the needs of hard-to-reach children in affected communities by looking at their profile (including age, gender, time out of school, never been to school, drop out, etc.) while mainstreaming Psycho Social Support (PSS) for students and teachers, their preparedness response for children’s safety and wellbeing and resilience for future shocks and motivation to continue to deliver quality, equitable, and inclusive education that addresses key cross-cutting issues. This Action also supported the SBMCs to promote community participation and school ownership, especially during implementation of emergency preparedness and response plans even after the project lifespan with a strong sustainability approach. Result 1 and 2 of the suggested Action focused on the factors of dropout and non-enrolment of school aged children affected by the crisis from displaced, returned, repatriated and host communities in Borno state. The formal schools of the host and target communities of the action received support to improve inclusive quality learning and reinforce the capacities of teachers and head teachers while mainstreaming of non-formal learners. To meet the needs of large classes as described in the MSNA, Temporary Learning Spaces/ classrooms were constructed or rehabilitated depending on the needs which aimed at creating a more safe and conducive learning environment. 71% of the respondents identified the latrines and handwashing facilities to be insufficient, which were also constructed/rehabilitated as identified in assessments at the start of the project. Secondly, the action also helped to address the issues around strengthening teachers’ capacities and other education personnel including SBMCs to enable improvement of quality learning both in formal and non-formal settings. To support the education authorities in ensuring/ conducting quality monitoring and supervision of schools, SUBEB and SAME quality assurance officers were supported technically to better support teachers under their supervision. Education authorities received substantial support to facilitate and operationalize their annual school monitoring and supervision plan. Community leadership and participation were also a component of this action. The suggested Actions were worked with community members on awareness raising on the importance of education and ensure that children access school, in all ages. To meet the needs among households that are financially limited, learning materials were provided to encourage enrolment and attendance in school, including mainstreaming kits, as recommended in the MSNA for ECHO HIP 2023 Purpose of the Evaluation The purpose of the end line evaluation is to independently assess the overall performance, achievements, and results of the ECHO-funded project by measuring progress against baseline values and project targets. The evaluation will determine the extent to which the project has improved access to safe, inclusive, and protective learning opportunities for children in the targeted LGAs of Borno State. The evaluation will also assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability of the project interventions implemented throughout the project lifecycle. The findings will provide evidence on the project’s results, identify lessons learned and good practices, and generate recommendations to inform future programming in Education in Emergencies (EiE) and Child Protection interventions in Northeast Nigeria. The evaluation will be conducted by an independent external consultant or evaluation team, working in close coordination with Plan International Nigeria and its partner CASFOD. Child rights, gender and inclusion The evaluation will apply a child-centred and inclusive approach consistent with Plan International’s Child and Youth Safeguarding Policy and Ethical MERL Framework. Special attention will be given to the participation of girls, boys, children with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Data collection tools will incorporate gender-sensitive and disability-inclusive approaches, including the use of the Washington Group Short Set questions to capture disability-disaggregated data where appropriate. Participation of children in the evaluation will be voluntary, age-appropriate and conducted in safe environments with appropriate consent procedures.

Qualitative data will be analysed through thematic content analysis and triangulated with quantitative findings to strengthen interpretation of results.
