The purpose of the evaluation was to support learning and provide guidance for future programme direction. In 2015, NRC Education began a strategic review of its programming with young people. This Jordan Youth Programme evaluation is seen as a key additional component of the wider NRC learning youth agenda. The programme in Jordan has been regarded as a high quality, relevant and innovative programme.
The evaluation is based on a review of 47 mostly internal NRC documents; focus group discussions and individual interviews with Syrian camp residents including teachers in the Programme; and interviews with NRC staff and partners. Sampling of Syrian respondents was a combination of random, snowball and convenience, depending on location, and a likely strong positive bias toward the Programme was anticipated and accounted for.
