Project Report from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 2,0(B), Universirty of Zambia (UNZA), course: RESEARCH METHODS IN DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, language: English, abstract: This report is based on an evaluation study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the e-voucher on agriculture in Zambia, conducted in Mungu village, Kafue.

The projects goal is to reduce the number of street children on the streets which is done by providing counselling sessions, sensitization and free basic education for the children. This evaluation adopted the Utilization-Focused Approach to Evaluation developed by Michael Quinn Patton. The evaluation design used cross sectional non-experimental. The study used a semi-structured interview schedule guided by a self-administered questionnaire with both closed and open-ended questions in order to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Forty individuals participated in the survey; which included members of staff, beneficiaries, parents and guardians of the beneficiaries who were randomly selected using purposive sampling. The implementation is well in the sense that 92 percent of the intended beneficiaries are receiving services which satisfy them. Sixty-four percent of beneficiaries were willing to be reunified with their families.

Furthermore, between 2015 and mid-2017, 520 have been reintegrated with their families. For the programmes to be fully implemented, school management should recruit more teachers to reduce the teacher pupil ratio to ensure quality service delivery, the organization should continue to explore local level advocacy opportunities for accessing funds for infrastructure improvement and construction of additional class room blocks, office space and dormitories, and must include professional orientation to develop and strengthen the children's professional aspirations.
