End-of-Term Evaluation of Afrobarometer’s regional program 2023-2025
Purpose and use
This evaluation of Afrobarometer (AB) was commissioned by the Embassy of Sweden in Addis Ababa covering January 2023–December 202. AB is Africa’s leading source of independent public-opinion data, informing policy and development decisions across 42 countries. The review assessed AB’s relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability to guide future support.
Conclusion
AB is highly relevant and trusted for its independence and methodological rigour. It delivers quality data and analysis with strong capacity-building, though outreach remains urban-focused. Governance and efficiency are robust, and sustainability measures are advancing. Key challenges include timeliness, wider dissemination, stronger African Union engagement and inclusion of marginalised groups.
Recommendation
The Embassy should maintain core funding and pursue donor harmonisation. AB should refine its Theory of Change, strengthen inclusive research, safeguard methodological autonomy and improve dissemination through timely, accessible and localised products. Expanding capacity-building, diversifying financing and securing African Union presence are essential for resilience and policy impact.

Evaluation of “Expanding Space for Youth’s Political Participation” – GoFor
Purpose and use
Evaluation of the Expanding Space for Youth Political Participation” project in Türkiye implemented by Gençlik Örgütleri Forumu (GoFor) focused on progress made on the project’s four objectives to:
1) Strengthen youth organisations;
2) Expand youth participation in decision-making;
3) Increase cooperation & networking in the youth sector; and
4) Develop GoFor as an institution.
Conclusion
Despite operating in a rapidly shrinking civic space, GoFor has given its member organisations a voice and safe spaces to express themselves, strengthening their capacity and its own. These voices are being heard at local and national levels within Türkiye, and internationally in European fora and at UN bodies. These are impressive achievements sorely needed to build youth-inclusive democratic processes in Türkiye.
Recommendation
Due to domestic funding challenges for rights-based Turkish CSOs and the weak capacity of many youth organisations, GoFor fills a gap by advocating for youth rights and participation. Given GoFor’s positive track record, Sida and other donors should seriously consider providing core funding as a bridging option while GoFor builds alternative sources of funding.
