This research evaluation (i) assess the extent to which the SFP was implemented as planned, (ii) investigate how SFP resources, activities and outputs are contributing to the delivery of outcomes, (iii) assess the SFP in terms of its relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and potential impact in line with the evaluation criteria set by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC), and (iv) inform the DSWD in implementing the impending devolution of SFP implementation to the LGUs in 2020.
This evaluation intended to answer overarching questions such as: (i) What factors facilitate or hinder the performance of the SFP? (ii) What good practices and lessons does the SFP have that can be shared with DSWD and other stakeholders? (iii) What gaps, issues and constraints did the SFP encounter in program implementation and how can these gaps, issues and constraints be addressed? To facilitate the analysis, these questions were re-classified under three research areas: (i) Quality of the Theory of Change, (ii) Quality of Implementation and (iii) Influencing Factors. Each research area comprises a set of Key Evaluation Questions (KEQs) related to the criteria proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment - Development Assistance Committed (OECD-DAC)
