Overview: Save the Children (SC), through Vietnam Sponsorship Programme, is partipating in the building up of human capital in Vietnam. The programme aims at giving children the best chance for a lifetime of success by transforming the lives of children and ensures children have the healthy start, opportunity to learn and protection from harm. The beneficiaries of the programme are not restricted to children but broadened to include families, community leaders and organizations to realize supportive institutions, systems, policies and services.Starting from 2013, Sponsorship Programme now covers an Impact Area of 23 (out of 95) communes in five districts of Lao Cai, which is one of the most disadvantaged areas of Vietnam characterized by a high percentage of ethnic minority population and persistent rate of multidimensional poverty.

The evaluation will assess the status of children, families, and communities on key indicators, while simultaneously identify progress to date and identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Sponsorship program. In addition, the evaluation will also explore to what extent the programme has made progress on plans for “transfer of ownership”.
