3. Findings of the impact evaluation This impact evaluation exercise does not go back and review the performance or meeting the targets set by each of the implementing NGOs as this have either been covered by the project terminal reports or review reports. Its main focuses as stated in the objectives of the evaluation are concentrating on the impacts created by the project implemented by the three NGOs with the financial assistance of Kinderpostzegels. However, as starting points the evaluator wants to note that all the three organizations have met their set target in terms of numbers of children they planned to enroll in their respective NFBE programs. This has been confirmed by the executive directors and key program staff of the NGOs. On the CLFZ projects however, while encouraging impacts have been created as reported in section on child labor below, the target for establishing CLFZ was not possible due to the deep-rooted nature of the child labor problem. It has however to be recognized that even if the targets set to make the project areas free of child labor, the project efforts have resulted in increased demand for education due to the release of many school age children from child labor and paved the way for them to enroll in schools. According to Berhanu Tufa, Director of ADAA, The reason for the continuation of the CLFZ project starting from 2016 was increased demand due to the good results of Anti-HTPs and anti-child labor endeavors and the need to build on the impacts of previous CLFZ projects to eradicate the project areas from child labor. Below are the findings on the impacts of the NFBE and CLFZ projects supported by Kinderpostzegels and implemented by ADAA, LIA-E and ADAA presented in different sections and sub-sections based on the key impact evaluation questions provided by Kinderpostzegels. 14
