Sisters' Blended Value Project Phase II (2022–2024): Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Report

Abstract

The SBVP Phase II (2022–2024) delivered measurable impact by equipping 690 Catholic Sisters across Eastern and Central Africa with entrepreneurial, leadership, and financial management skills to transform social ministries into sustainable social enterprises. Collaborative networks reached over 700 Sisters, 43 research outputs were produced, and seed funding supported 61 congregations. Institutional anchors such as the Strathmore Africa Case Centre, Case Book, and Social Entrepreneurship Hub were established. The project was rated satisfactory overall, with highly satisfactory performance in monitoring, evaluation, and learning. Key risks remain around long-term financial resilience of congregations, with recommendations for integrated regional sustainability strategies.
