The report present the analysis of the data collected in the course of the performance of the programs of Hope and Homes for Children – Bulgaria implemented between October 2014 and March 2017. The report was prepared within the framework of a program performance evaluation project implemented by the Know-How Centre for Alternative Care for Children at New Bulgarian University.
The purpose of the analysis is to evaluate the performance efficiency of social workers implementing programs focused on assistance to families at risk so as to meet their needs and prevent them from abandoning their children in institutions.
The data needed to evaluate social worker performance efficiency were collected in three short periods of time: (1) prior to the intervention (initial assessment); (2) immediately after the intervention (after the finalization of support), and (3) six months after the work with the children and families was finalized.
