Final performance evaluation of the combating corruption and strengthening integrity in Jamaica activity
The Final Performance Evaluation of the Combating Corruption and Strengthening Integrity in Jamaica (CCSIJ) Activity was commissioned by USAID/Jamaica to determine how the $10.6 million, almost four-year activity, implemented by National Integrity Action (NIA), achieved its objectives and the conditions for it to influence long-term processes of change.

Abstract
The fieldwork for the evaluation was conducted during August and September 2019 and included document review, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, a beneficiary survey, and a population survey. The evaluation found that CCSIJ has built capacity for action against corruption by strengthening partner organizations, with attention to value for money. Broadening the anti-corruption work to disadvantaged communities through community-based organizations, reaching out to educational institutions, and partnering with government institutions were also considered very valuable. Benefits are likely to continue after the award ends in March 2020. However, NIA has anticipated that building public demand against corruption is a longer-term project. The evaluation found programs like CCSIJ can have a long-term influence on processes of change if, like CCSIJ, they are multi-faceted and engage with civil society, the media, the private sector, and government.
