Mid-Term Evaluation of the Partnership for Open, Distance and Flexible Learning (ODLF) in the Pacific

The mid-term evaluation of the Partnership for ODFL in the Pacific Project was commissioned by the Commonwealth of Learning to examine the initial two years of the five-year activity. The evaluation was undertaken by Standard of Proof, the MFAT MERL panel, providing specialist services in monitoring, evaluation, measurement and research and analytics. The evaluation provided a summative and formative assessment of the efficiency, effectiveness, coherence and alignment, relevance, sustainable development outcomes, gender equality, and resilient development outcomes. The evaluation involved an extensive review of secondary data and small group or individual interviews with key partners, including COL, PACFOLD, MFAT, COL focal points, and NGO and TVET partner institutions.
