INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION, DJIBOUTI

The Creative Spaces for Migrants in Djibouti is a pilot project aimed at establishing creative makerspaces in Djiboutiville, in partnership with the University of Djibouti. These spaces follow the global FabLab model promoted by the Fab Foundation, which includes several standard digital fabrication technologies – including laser cutting, 3D printing, CNC mills, and vinyl cutting.

The overall purpose of FabLabs is to support technical education, digital fabrication, and provide a meeting space for youth on the move. The evaluation focused on establishing the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the project, with a focus on learning from the pilot initiative, including the viability of innovative approaches to migrant engagement and skills development.

Final Evaluation of CaLP Activities in the MENA Region

Final Evaluation of CaLP Activities in the MENA Region

Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP), MENA Region

 

CaLP has been operating its Middle East and North Africa Office in Amman, Jordan since 2017. In 2018, CaLP received funding from the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) to support further expansion of regional presence that would facilitate more intensive engagement on capacity building, research and knowledge management, coordination support, and policy and advocacy objectives. Meraki Labs was commissioned to complete a final evaluation of the CaLP's overall contribution to building an enabling environment for CVA programming in the region and more broadly. The evaluation assessed past project objectives, not only in light of the MENA context and project aims, but also rapid shifts in context. In order to best serve CaLP's agenda, the evaluation was focused on assessing approach as compared to the new global strategic plan for the 2020-2025 period.
