Participatory Evaluation of Environmental Education: Stakeholder Assessment of the Wildlife Clubs of Kenya

Summary The Wildlife Clubs of Kenya (WCK) is an environmental organization which educates Kenyan youth about wildlife and conservation. With the assistance of an outside evaluation advisor, the WCK conducted a participatory evaluation, in which teachers and WCK staff worked together to identify and investigate key evaluation questions. Evaluation questions included (1) what are the most and least effective WCK programs, (2) what constraints are faced by WCK, (3) what benefits does WCK provide to students, and (6) what recommendations are there for improving WCK? Using a participatory evaluation approach, the WCK adopted a qualitative approach to investigate their evaluation questions. Data collection methods included interviews and questionnaires. The results were used to help WCK improve communication between WCK offices and local clubs.
