The Midline Evaluation of PLANE was delivered by a consortium led by Ecorys UK through the Human Development Evaluation Learning and Verification Service (DELVe). The purpose of the Midline was to describe and critically assess progress, outputs and outcomes along the change pathways described in the PLANE portfolio Theory of Change. The evaluation covered the full implementation of the programme from January 2023 to August 2025 across all PLANE interventions in Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa states in North West Nigeria and in Borno and Yobe states in the North East, and at federal level. The evaluation was completed and approved in March 2026.
