Thematic Evaluation of Kenya’s Job Creation Programmes

The project evaluated four FCDO-funded job creation programmes in Kenya for the British High Commission (BHC) to assess the effectiveness of different approaches to job creation. The assignment generated evidence on programme performance, costs, and benefits to inform future employment programming by BHC Nairobi and the wider FCDO.

Designing an overarching theory of change for job creation during the inception phase, building on existing programme theories of change.

Conducting Evidence-Based Programme Evaluation

Collecting and analysing evidence through document reviews, programme monitoring data, interviews, focus groups, and application of the FCDO Jobs Measurement Framework using case study and cross-synthesis approaches.

Generating Strategic Recommendations

Revisiting the job creation theory of change and identifying opportunities to capitalise on synergies across programmes to strengthen future job creation interventions.
