Volume II: Final case study reports– Albania, Cambodia, Colombia, Kenya

  • Year: 2020

  • Publication type: Evaluation

  • Author: Anne Buffardi, Bente Topsøe-Jensen, Henrik Alffram, Pilar Domingo

Summary

This report presents the findings and conclusions from four country case studies on the application and effects of a Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) in Albania, Cambodia, Colombia and Kenya. These country case studies form part of a larger evaluation, commissioned by Sida’s Evaluation Unit, which aims to systematise knowledge and learning and to generate lessons on what has worked well, less well and why, by understanding how and to what extent a HRBA is applied in Swedish development cooperation. The four countries were identified through a ‘most likely’ case selection strategy, oriented towards strategic HRBA efforts made in these countries. Data collection and analysis took place November 2019 – May 2020, drawing on document review, interviews with key informants and group discussions. Volume I contains the full evaluation report, which includes a synthesis of these case studies and presents recommendations for Sida’s future efforts in championing human rights through the application of a HRBA.

Central Evaluation of Conflict Sensitivity in Sida’s Development and Humanitarian Cooperation

Topic: Democracy and human rights Economic development Peaceful societies Humanitarian assistance Gender equality Environment and climate

Purpose and use

This evaluation examines how Sida integrates conflict sensitivity across its strategies and operations, with the purpose of strengthening learning and improving how Sida’s work affects peace and conflict dynamics.

Conclusion

It finds that conflict sensitivity is increasingly embedded in Sida’s portfolio but applied unevenly across contexts. Stronger results emerge where analysis is continuous, partner capacity is high, and adaptation is proactive. Weak monitoring systems and inconsistent feedback loops limit learning and the ability to track outcomes or anticipate risks.

Recommendation

The evaluation recommends establishing minimum standards for conflict sensitivity across all strategies, ensuring regular context updates, strengthening monitoring, evaluation and learning systems with simple indicators, and proactively addressing recurring risks such as gender backlash, unequal targeting, and challenges linked to country exits.

Evaluation of “Expanding Space for Youth’s Political Participation” – GoFor

Topic: Democracy and human rights

Purpose and use

Evaluation of the Expanding Space for Youth Political Participation” project in Türkiye implemented by Gençlik Örgütleri Forumu (GoFor) focused on progress made on the project’s four objectives to:
1) Strengthen youth organisations;
2) Expand youth participation in decision-making;
3) Increase cooperation & networking in the youth sector; and
4) Develop GoFor as an institution.

Conclusion

Despite operating in a rapidly shrinking civic space, GoFor has given its member organisations a voice and safe spaces to express themselves, strengthening their capacity and its own. These voices are being heard at local and national levels within Türkiye, and internationally in European fora and at UN bodies. These are impressive achievements sorely needed to build youth-inclusive democratic processes in Türkiye.

Recommendation

Due to domestic funding challenges for rights-based Turkish CSOs and the weak capacity of many youth organisations, GoFor fills a gap by advocating for youth rights and participation. Given GoFor’s positive track record, Sida and other donors should seriously consider providing core funding as a bridging option while GoFor builds alternative sources of funding.
