FUTURES Project Midline Evaluation: Key Findings

FUTURES Project Midline Evaluation: Key Findings
Abstract: The FUTURES—My Forest, My Livelihood, My Family— Packard Foundation-funded project is implemented by CARE Ethiopia and its local partners in the Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve of southwestern Oromia, Ethiopia, through an integrated, multisectoral approach with a focus on women and youth. The project is designed to deliver targeted services at the individual, household, and community levels. The project is coordinating with stakeholders from the economic, agricultural, conservation, and reproductive health (RH) sectors to efficiently address the complex and interrelated needs of individuals and communities in the Chora, Dorani, and Yayu woredas.

The FUTURES project evaluation, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is implemented by Data for Impact (D4I) in collaboration with local research partner Jimma University. A qualitative midline evaluation was conducted to understand knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and the most meaningful outcomes to date of the project’s multisectoral approach to improving RH, livelihood opportunities, and agricultural and conservation practices.
