AAWAZ is an investigative as well as an implementing programme. It will need rigorous monitoring and evaluation to test the actual effects and assess the potential for scaling up.
A Programme Analysis, Research and Results (PARR) facility will be established to conduct on-going independent analysis and assessments of the three substantive outputs of the programme (gender equality in politics, community cohesion and tolerance and demand for services) to identify good practices and key lessons to be used to advocate for government reforms
The PARR will analyze monitoring information, synthesize evidence from AAWAZ and other programmes, evaluate AAWAZ interventions and carry out operational research to:
improve the effectiveness of the programme,
test the AWAAZ theory of change,
provide robust evidence to use in advocating and championing reform.
