The evaluation will utilize the findings to highlight lessons learned and provide recommendations to the Donor, Project Owner and other stakeholders. 2.2. Key evaluation questions The Evaluation Team shall refine and finalize the detailed evaluation questions during the inception phase, building upon the core project evaluation criteria and the following overarching questions: - What have been the most significant changes for persons with disabilities and their families that can reasonably be attributed to the projects interventions? - Which interventions are most likely to continue after project completion, and what factors will influence their sustainability? - To what extent have investments in workforce development translated into improved quality and utilization of rehabilitation and care services? - Which implementation approaches adopted by the partnership proved most effective, and what could be improved in future programming? III. METHODOLOGY 3.1.Methodology design The evaluation shall use a mixed-methods approach of qualitative and quantitative in combination with literature review in carrying out this evaluation to achieve the objectives as mentioned above. The methodology must be participatory, inclusive of diverse beneficiary groups, disability-sensitive, ethical and ensure confidential handling of data.

All data collection tools and the overall methodology must comply with HIs and DoS ethical standards for research involving persons with disabilities, including informed consent procedures adapted to different communication needs, child safeguarding, and protection from sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (PSEAH). 3.3. Sampling strategy The Evaluation Team is expected to design and implement a mixed-methods sampling strategy that integrates both quantitative and qualitative approaches to ensure robust and triangulated findings. Quantitative Component The Evaluation Team shall draw a stratified random sample of project beneficiaries using available monitoring data. The sampling approach must ensure adequate representation across key characteristics to allow for disaggregated descriptive analysis. Stratification criteria shall include: - Geography: Coverage of both provinces Gia Lai (former Binh Dinh) and Quang Ngai (former Kon Tum) - Demographics: Inclusion of children and adults, and balanced representation of male and female beneficiaries (sex-disaggregated). - Disability profile: Diversity in disability types (physical disability, mental disability, intellectual disability etc.). - Beneficiary categories: PWDs, including AOVs, caregivers, service providers etc. 7 - Intervention types: Beneficiaries who received rehabilitation (PT, OT, ST, AD/ATs), psychological/ mental health support, and social services.
