The second phase of the SDC project Promoting Life Skills and Livelihoods (S4L) in Turkana West is co-funded by Swiss Humanitarian Aid and South Cooperation. The project goal is “increased income generating capabilities of refugees and host community in Kakuma”. The project's innovative and unique model includes; i) combining outreach to refugees and the host community; ii) practice orientation and informality of the training; iii) the combination of life skills, technical skills, business start-up support and creation of a community based finance system; iv) supporting quick earning opportunities; and v) relevance and adaptation to the beneficiaries’ realities. Training is provided in learning groups, that later advance into business groups and mavuno (saving and credit) groups. While the evaluation showed that the project is of high value and is using an innovative model with high potential, a number of corrections need to be introduced to get a better understanding if the project can and shall be replicated. The evaluation report includes 29 recommendations and describes five scenarios to support SDC in the discussion on a way forward with the Skills for Live Model. The holistic approach of the project has provided the key to a successful project, and for most participants, the project is delivering good outcomes. This proves the high relevance of the chosen model. The total income generated by business group members is between CHF 45’000 and 65’000. In comparison, the project costs until end of June 2018 have been CHF 1’981’000. As project data on income neglects all individual economic activities outside business groups, it substantially underestimates income stimulation by project activities. The evaluation identified the monitoring of the outcomes as one of the biggest challenges, despite the project's considerable investment in a monitoring and result measurement system. Another challenge is the project's context: there is a market, but the buying power of potential customers is low and facility rent and prices for consumables are high. The project has also shortcomings in terms of planning and steering, affecting efficiency. Further, the project has started to work with local partners on a mandate base, but their capacities and capabilities are not yet sufficient to take over project implementation, hence, sustainability is not given at the moment. SDC will address these challenges in the next project phase
