ENHANCED ACCESS TO HUMANITARIAN NEEDS: THE FINAL EVALUATION REPORT OF THE CRS DRIVE PROJECT

The CRS DRIVE project was implemented from March 27th 2021 to the end of March 2022 in partnership with Caritas Kalemie and Caritas Kongolo, with financial support from USAID/BHA. The goal of the DRIVE project was to ensure that vulnerable households affected by armed and intercommunal conflicts in Tanganyika Province (of DRC), had access to humanitarian food, non-food items (NFIs), water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and agricultural livelihood assistance. Thus, the project assisted the project participants with food, shelter and settlement (S&S), and WASH NFIs and agricultural inputs. The DRIVE final evaluation assessed the extent to which the project had achieved its objectives, addressing what contributed to those achievements, challenges faced during implementation, and lessons and best practices learned for use in future programming.
