The 14 members are the mission offices and NGOs of various Jesuit Provinces across Europe, North America and Australia. Members are present in over 87 countries, carrying out development and aid projects in close cooperation with local partners. While distinct agencies, there is a shared faith tradition and long experience working alongside the poorest and most marginalised people.The Xavier Network was legally constituted as a foundation in 2004. The Entreculturas Foundation, a non-governmental development organization that is a member of the Network, has been appointed by the Xavier Network to spearhead the Emergency Task Force.
Nepal Jesuit Social Institute (NJSI) was established by Nepal Jesuit Society (NJS) after the massive earthquake which hit Nepal on 25th April and 12th May 2015. Since its inception NJSI has been actively involved in the relief, recovery and rehabilitation process in eleven worst affected districts of Nepal. NJSI launched “Nepal Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation Program” to assist the earthquake survivors in the sectors of education, protection, water and sanitation and hygiene
Evaluation scope
This evaluation aims to provide valuable insights beyond the binary assessment of goal attainment. While the evaluation will certainly explore the achievement of program objectives, its primary focus will be on identifying effective strategies, areas for improvement, and valuable lessons learned. The intent is to delve into the factors that have contributed to both successes and challenges, offering a comprehensive understanding of the program’s dynamics. By doing so, the evaluation intends to empower Fe y Alegría Nepal with actionable recommendations that can inform future program development, considering the organization’s current structure, available resources, and transition process from NJSI. The evaluation seeks to be a catalyst for a learning opportunity, encouraging the enhancement of existing practices and the formulation of more informed decisions. Through a thorough assessment of project outcomes, the evaluation aims to contribute to the overall growth and effectiveness of the organization while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
