BASIC Performance Evaluation: Case Study Reports
BASIC Performance Evaluation: Case Study Reports
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) commissioned Integrity to undertake an independent performance evaluation of the £20.5m Better Assistance in Crises Programme (BASIC) in October 2020. This Appendix presents our summary case study reports for each country case (Jordan, Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen) and the learning case study for SPACE. These reports are broadly structured against the BASIC theory of change. Findings from each of the case studies were compared and constrasted through cross case analysis as well as with data collected elsewhere as part of the baseline. Data gathered through the case studies fed into the overall baseline findings.
BASIC programme BASIC aims to support the new and/or improved use of social protection approaches during crisis. It is being delivered between 2018 and 2024 by the FCDO Social Protection Team (SPT). It provides support across three workstreams: technical assistance (delivered through BASIC TAS, including SPACE, and BASIC TAF); BASIC Research; and Knowledge Management and Learning services. These workstreams aim to result in the use of more effective, efficient, equitable, and financially sustainable social protection (SP) systems during crisis. They expect to do this by improving human and institutional capacity of donors, multilateral agencies, and national governments; supporting the development of new or strengthened country plans, policies, programmes, and systems; increasing the level of high-quality evidence used by, and political commitments from, key actors; and greater coherence and coordination between actors and initiatives. Between October 2018 and` August 2021, BASIC technical assistance delivered 28 projects, engaging with 45 countries through 128 unique engagements, while BASIC Research is still in its inception phase at the time of reporting.
