About ActionAid Bangladesh
ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB), an affiliate member of ActionAid Federation, has been working in Bangladesh for last 43 years in solidarity with the people living in poverty and exclusion to end poverty and injustice. AAB’s aims at facilitating people challenging poverty and exclusion through human, practical, politically intelligent, and open strategy underpinned by its Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA). AAB believes in a theory of change that requires purposeful individual and collective action, led by the people living in poverty and supported by solidarity, credible rights-based alternatives and campaigns that address the structural causes and consequences of poverty. AAB mobilizes and empowers the people living in poverty and exclusion to enable their collective analysis, identity, movements, and actions. In solidarity with citizens, partners and supporters, AAB fosters partnerships and networks for strengthening support, voice and actions to campaign and advocate with the state and non-state actors and institutions for influencing their policies and practices that safeguard the rights of the poor and excluded people.
Overview of the Projects
AAB is implementing ‘Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA II)’ titled project since 2022 with the support of ActionAid Denmark and DANIDA. SPA II project has been implementing across 7 districts of Bangladesh through partnership with partner NGOs named CDOW (Satkhira), BBF (Chattogram), BMUS (Khulna), NSS (Barguna), SHED (Teknaf), USS (Kurigram) and NDBUS (Dhaka). The project was successfully phased out at Dhaka in 2025 and is scheduled to be in the remaining areas by 2026.
Project aims to enable young people to enjoy basic human and democratic rights and improved livelihoods through access to public services and alternatives. It also aims to build resilience to climate shocks and protection in fragile context by developing their potential and leadership in the process of SDG implementation.

Objective of Endline Evaluation
The end-line evaluation is planned to systematically document the changes achieved throughout the implementation period. It will assess the overall efficiency, effectiveness, outcomes, and impact of the interventions, with a particular focus on progress against the intended objectives. The evaluation will examine the sustainability of results, including the likelihood that benefits will continue beyond the project lifecycle, as well as the capacity of stakeholders to sustain and further build on the achieved gains. In addition, it will identify key lessons learned and good practices, and provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations to inform future programming, strategic decision-making, and the potential scaling or adaptation of similar interventions.
Objectives of the endline evaluation are -
- To measure changes in key outcome indicators of SPA II since the baseline (2022).
- To assess the projects’ relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability using OECD/DAC criteria.
- To document promising practices, lessons learned and challenges to inform future programming and advocacy.
- To provide evidence-based recommendations considering the gaps and learning.
