Cheshire Homes Society of Zambia through Cheshire CBR programme is seeking for consultancy services to carry out an evaluation to look at the long-term viability of the project and how CBR/CBID services in Zambia can be sustainable
Cheshire Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID) Programme CHSZ has been implementing a CBID Programme with support from CBM (a leading International Disability and Development NGO). The CBID Programme was established in 1999 and has an administrative office in North Gate Gardens, Mandevu off Kasangula Road, Lusaka. It is active in the poor high density compounds of Lusaka (Garden, Mandevu, Chipata, Chazanga and Kabanana)
The programme follows the WHO CBR guidelines, whose matrix has five pillars that address issues for people with disabilities in Health, Education, Livelihood, Social and Empowerment domains. Rationale and context of evaluation
As CHSZ and CBM consider further development, expansion and/or redesign of the programme, it is desirable that they take stock of the efforts in the implementation of the programme through an evaluation. This is meant to assess whether the programme is delivering in line with CBID principles in order to provide actionable evidence.
The overall objective of the evaluation is to measure the impact of the CBID programme on the quality of life of persons with disabilities and their families in the context of Zambia since the programme was founded in 1999. It is also critical for this evaluation to look at the long-term viability of the project and how CBR/CBID services in Zambia can be sustainable
