Kenya RAPID Performance Evaluation, 2020

Description

The five-year $35.5 million public private partnership/Global Development Alliance (GDA) program, Kenya Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development (RAPID) was funded jointly by USAID, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), private sector partners, and Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) international Non-Government Organization (INGO) members. Coordinated by the MWA, Kenya RAPID brings together public, private and civil society institutions and communities to increase access to water and sanitation for people and water for livestock and to rebuild a healthy rangeland-management ecosystem in five ASAL counties (Turkana, Isiolo, Marsabit, Wajir, and Garissa). This performance evaluation was commissioned by the USAID/Kenya and East Africa (USAID/KEA) mission in conjunction with SDC at the end of RAPID’s fifth year. By phone or other remote media, the Evaluation Team conducted interviews with approximately 70 key informants from USAID/KEA, SDC, Government of Kenya (national level), Kenya RAPID staff, Kenya RAPID implementing partner staff, county government officials (for WASH, pastoralist support, rangeland management, health, livestock, and nutrition, among other areas), private sector partners, and utility staff. The dataset consists of the results from coding the interviews.

21 The Evaluation Team conducted interviews, by phone or other remote media, with approximately 70 key informants from USAID/KEA, SDC, Government of Kenya (national level), Kenya RAPID staff, Kenya RAPID implementing partner staff, county government officials (for WASH, pastoralist support, rangeland management, health, livestock, and nutrition, among other areas), private sector partners, and utility staff. To analyze the qualitative information, the Evaluation Team developed a simple coding tree and set of three to five key codes for each of the evaluation questions, as well as a special code to highlight key quotations from the qualitative data. Excerpts from interviews were grouped by codes based on the evaluation questions and topics (e.g., water, sanitation, nutrition, etc.). Coded excerpts were then allocated to team members by area of expertise for analysis and to identify patterns of responses by partner group, county and level of seniority. The dataset consists of the results from coding the interviews. https://data.usaid.gov/d/5wm8-sham
