Objectives of the end-term evaluation

• To highlight project successes and challenges throughout the project implementation.
• To assess the project impacts by identifying changes in people’s lives and livelihoods and in TTS practices.

The geographical area of focus will be Nairobi and Mombasa specifically TTS operation sites in Dandora and Kitengela dumpsites in Nairobi as well as Mwakerunge dumpsite in Mombasa.
