Independence and autonomy of people with disabilities in Gaza
The final evaluation took place at the end of the project promoted by the NGO EducAid entitled Independence, Capability, Autonomy, inclusion – Center for Independent Life for Persons with Disabilities of the Gaza Strip (I-CAN). The project started its implementation phase in May 2018 and ended – with an extension – in March 2021 in Gaza.
The I-CAN project was dedicated to strengthening the independence and self-determination of people with disabilities (PWD), especially women with disabilities, primarily through the establishment of an integrated and innovative Centre in cooperation with local organisations. The Centre is today the hub for improving the autonomy of the PWDs through the provision of personalised individual and group services. The Centre, in particular, has the characteristic of involving, as operators/women, staff with disabilities, proposing “in fact” a model of real contrast to stereotypes and strongly marked by the protagonism of the PWD in the target territory.
The evaluation work was carried out as follows.
- First, we worked to develop a critical analysis of the project path, taking care to build the logic of the intervention on the basis of the real potential and external constraints that emerged from the start. This analysis allowed to define the evolution of the reference framework presented at the initial stage (relevance of the intervention) and to analyses the progress of the project (through the monitoring documents and some interviews addressed to the actors involved in the activities (efficiency of the intervention).
- Secondly, have been investigated the economic, social and institutional factors that can ensure the implementation of the planned service activities (setting out the minimum standards of success with EducAid in the framework of the OECD DAC criteria).
- Thirdly, a quantitative study was organized, questionnaires have been administered to the users of the Centre and to teachers who received training. This demanding work has allowed us to work on a specific data source that strictly oriented to assess the effectiveness, sustainability and impact of the project. During the data processing data, documentations, results achieved and perceptions of key informants have been triangulated and evidences have been discussed with the project team to complete the analysis.

Fight against energy poverty: evaluation of the Doniamo Energia Calls
Through the evaluation of the Bandi Energia (Energy Call for Proposals), promoted by Fondazione Cariplo and Banco dell’Energia, we contribute to the development of intervention models finalised at avoiding that disadvantaged families in the Lombardy descend into structural poverty. We do this by focusing on promoting skills and territorial networks.
School and gender stereotypes: an innovative intervention model
With the Be.St. – Beyond Stereotypes project we promote the development of a systemic approach across primary schools in order to facilitate relationship building amongst children based on respect and the acknowledgement of diversity in order for future generations to become more aware of their potentials.
