Impact bond project: INDIGO-POJ-0073

Result level: Outcome level
Result type: Final
Outcomes achieved: In year one (2018), FCW fell slightly short of the attendance target in the pre pre-grade R group. Ninety percent of children and their caregivers completed at least 50% of planned sessions with the home visitors. Subsequent recruitment and retention and attendance targets were exceeded. FCW exceeded the targets in 2019 for pre pre-grade R, and in 2018 and 2019 for the pre-grade R cohort

Outcomes achieved: FCW missed the ELOM targets at both assessment points in 2018 and 2019. Several reasons were proffered for missing the target on the first ELOM assessment. One set of reasons relates to the poverty that the beneficiaries live in. At the first ELOM assessment, some children needed to be excluded due to malnourishment and hunger. A second set of reasons derives from the nature of the ELOM assessment. It required that the children interact, on a one-on-one basis (without their caregivers), with a stranger (the trained assessor), in a strange environment (the testing location) for 45 minutes. For children not in a centre-based early learning environment and therefore not accustomed to this kind of interaction, this proved to be challenging.
