1. Background

Impact and Innovations Development Centre (IIDC) is a not-for-profit regional Technical Assistance (TA) and Learning partner organization that works with development agencies in the public and private sectors to promote impactful and innovative programming.

The pilot phase of the learning initiative was implemented between July 2016 until June 2019 and focused on enhancing the internal capacity of implementing partners in the areas of evidence-based programming; documentation and learning and elevating the participating implementing partners to a level where they could be able to more effectively account for and communicate their contribution towards Violence Against Children (VAC) prevention through their respective programmes and interventions. Within the initial three years, the major focus was on supporting partners to improve the measurability of their interventions, apply learning in programming, document and share learning on what works to prevent violence against children in East Africa.

The second phase of the project is being implemented from July 2019 and will end in July 2023. This project phase sought to consolidate the gains from the first phase. In addition to the focal areas under the first phase, the second phase included a focus on VAC evidence generation as well as building the capacity of the partners in scaling up tested interventions. During this phase a 5-year strategy for the leaning initiative was also developed.
