This document reports on the evaluation, and suggests recommendations for improvement, on one of the components of the Norwegian Refugee Council’s (NRC) education programme in Sierra Leone, the Youth Pack. This pilot programme for 400 youth in four different centres, provides a combination of vocational skills training with basic academic and life skills education for 14-22 year olds. Youth Pack was run for two years (2003-04 and 2004-05).
The Youth Pack project has resulted in a very positive direct outcome for the learners and teachers, and a very good impression in the communities. However, the NRC has not had the right skills, tools and experiences for Youth Pack to reach optimal results. The main problem is the way the programme has been planned and implemented, almost in isolation from other actors (including the local implementing partner), as an expensive service-delivery project.
