Generation For Peace (GFP) Ghana has held a Participatory Evaluation (PE) forum to assess the impact of its Sports and Arts for Peace Programme with Social Emotional learning for Children (SP-ARPP) at Deyoungster’s International School in Adenta.
The PE serves as a learning platform and an opportunity for GFP to review its progress so far.
Lead Pioneer of GFP, Ghana, Naa Adei Dsane-Boateng, elated about the success of the programme stated that the positive feedback from the PE will be factored to improve future programmes.
“The gains from the just-ended cycle and the previous are worth safeguarding. Sustainability has become a watchword in the development industry,” she stressed.
Some parents noted that their children’s human relations have positively improved since they joined the SP-ARPP and wished that it could continue so other children could benefit from it.
The Participatory Event was attended by parents and friends of participating school children, as well as teachers and other stakeholders in and outside the school.
In total, 200 learners of Deyoungster’s International School, Adenta participated in the programme. The programme, which should have started in 2020 after training of volunteers in 2019, had to drag to 2023 due to Covid-19.
About GHA GFP SP-ARPP SEL – ‘Share A Smile’
Sport and Art for Peace programme for children seek to use sports and arts as an entry point to engage with the younger generation through carefully facilitated sport-based games and arts that provide a vehicle for integrated education and behaviour change.
For our Community Engagements, we had artworks of our GFP Tree and two GFP Hopscotch with most words used during our programme for the DeYoungster’s International School and its community.
The GHA GFP SEL SP-ARPP Programme was initiated in January 2020 after initial preparatory processes, including a special training of pioneers in Jordan in October 2019 for the implementation of the programme, training of delegates in December 2019, and meeting with key stakeholders. The preparatory plans for the commencement of the programme went well with little to no hitches. Per initial plans, the programme was expected to conclude in September 2020.
The programme which was billed to conclude within a period of about nine months, from January 2020 to September, 2020, had to travel over two years due to the advent of COVID-19. The implementation team had to readjust to the times and incorporate new measures to ensure the programme ended successfully.
