Mid-term and Final External Evaluation of the Global Districts Project (DEAR Programme)
Client
Fondazione ACRA (project coordinator)
Partner
Policy Impact Lab (consortium leader)
Timeline
April 2025 – March 2028
Description
The Global Districts Project—formally titled “Localised and Informal Critical Global Citizenship Education for Wider Inclusion and Engagement of European Youth in Local and Global Challenges”—is funded under the EU’s Development Education and Awareness Raising (DEAR) Programme. The project seeks to foster inclusive, active citizenship among young Europeans (particularly those from groups less involved in global challenges), integrate Global Citizenship Education (GCE) into informal learning practices, and strengthen the leadership of girls and young women to counter global inequalities.
Our role
IMPACTFUL is evaluation partner and has nominated a core member of the evaluation team with focus on the evaluation methodology. We are co-responsible for designing and guiding a robust evaluation framework, ensuring methodological alignment with INTPA standards and stakeholder engagement throughout the entire evaluation cycle. This includes both the Mid-term Evaluation (2025–2026) and the Final Evaluation (2027–2028). Our work involves the validation of the project Theory of Change (ToC) through a participatory workshop with project partner, the advice on and review of the project’s logframe, monitoring system, and data collection tools, ensuring alignment with the DEAR MEAL Guide, design of the evaluation plan , implementation of the mid-term and final evaluation using participatory methods (e.g., Most Significant Change (MSC)) to capture qualitative insights from youth, educators, and CSOs across the nine participating EU countries, and contribution to the analysis and reporting of findings with the ultimate aim to strengthen learning, accountability, and strategic decision-making within the project partnership.
Final External Evaluation of the RSE4ALL Project (EaSI Programme)
Client
SOLIDAR
Timeline
September – December 2025
Description
The “Realising Social Europe for All and With All” (RSE4ALL) project, implemented by SOLIDAR under the EU Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI), supports the effective implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights through just transition policies and its alignment with all other EU policies, member engagement, and public awareness. The four-year programme (2022–2025) aims to foster social justice, reduce inequalities, and strengthen civil society action at EU, national, and local levels.
Our role
IMPACTFUL is contracted to carry out the Final External Evaluation (FEE) of RSE4ALL, following up on our previous assignment as the Mid-Term Evaluators. The objective of the FEE is to assess the implementation, outcomes, and impact of the project while informing strategic learning within the SOLIDAR Secretariat and member organisations.
We have designed and implement a comprehensive, participatory evaluation process based on mixed methods and guided by OECD/DAC evaluation criteria. Our tasks include analysis of project documentation and progress reports (desk study), development and administration of a comparative online survey for SOLIDAR members, interviews and focus group discussions to assess contribution to policy change, capacity building, and network strengthening, and synthesis of findings into a final evaluation report with actionable, scenario-sensitive recommendations.
Advisory Support to Final Internal Evaluation – NHRI.EU Phase 3
Client
GANHRI – Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions
Timeline
July – December 2025
Description
The NHRI.EU Phase 3 project, funded by the European Commission and implemented by GANHRI in collaboration with the four Regional Networks (APF, NANHRI, ENNHRI, RINDHCA), aimed to strengthen the effectiveness, coordination, and sustainability of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in line with the Paris Principles, while promoting civic space and the protection of human rights defenders.
As the project approaches completion in 2025, GANHRI is conducting a final internal evaluation to assess outcomes and impact, inform the design of Phase 4, and ensure alignment with EU evaluation standards.
Our role
IMPACTFUL provides targeted methodological guidance to support the GANHRI team in conducting the evaluation internally. This assignment includes advisory input on the evaluation framework, criteria, interview tools, and use of existing monitoring data, helping to ensure the process remained participatory, focused, and strategically relevant.
Our input contributes to a proportionate and efficient internal evaluation process, focused on impact, sustainability, effectiveness, and EU added value.

Support to the Design of Logframe for Phase 4 of the NHRI.EU Project
Client
GANHRI – Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions
Timeline
March – April 2025
Description
The NHRI.EU Project—Strengthening National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs)—is a multi-phase initiative implemented by GANHRI to enhance the capacity, effectiveness, and resilience of NHRIs worldwide. The project promotes compliance with the UN Paris Principles, supports the protection of human rights defenders, and fosters peer learning and cooperation through GANHRI and its four Regional Networks.
Our role
In preparation for Phase 4 of the project, our company was engaged to support the design of the project’s logical framework (logframe). Building on the experience of Phase 3, our role focused on refining outcome-level formulations and developing a results-oriented logframe structure aligned with the project’s overarching objectives.
Through a participatory approach, we facilitated structured consultations with GANHRI and implementing partners, helping to define and differentiate outcomes related to NHRI capacity building, accreditation systems, and network strengthening. Our contribution ensured that the logframe captures the project’s ambition to reinforce NHRI compliance with the Paris Principles, protect civic space, and enhance the global accreditation system—while remaining adaptable for use in future reporting, monitoring, and evaluation.
