Our approach
As Girl Hub was a relatively new organisation, this review was intended to be an interim investigation into the delivery of the programme, with a focus on impact and results to date.
The study examined the relationship between DFID and Girl Hub in depth. We explored how the origins and purpose of this partnership fitted with the Department for International Development’s new private sector strategy and the ways of working of the new Private Sector Department, which was set up shortly after Girl Hub was established.
We assessed how far it could be used as a model for future partnerships with the private sector and if the results could have been achieved without it.
Review questions
We sought to answer the following questions:
- Objective: What is the programme trying to achieve?
- Delivery: Is the delivery chain designed and managed so as to be fit for purpose?
- Impact: What is the impact on intended beneficiaries?
- Learning: What works and what needs improvement?
