Optimum Analysis was contracted by Save the Children Australia to conduct a mid-term evaluation of the Building Peaceful Futures program in Sinjar and Hawija, Ninewa and Kirkuk governorates, Iraq.

In total, 220 qualitative interviews (key informant interviews and focus group discussions) were conducted with a variety of stakeholders, including beneficiaries (male, female, child, and with disabilities), government officials, consortium partners, cluster representatives, and community leaders.

The data was used to analyze the progress of the program to date and develop recommendations for the remainder of the program.
