SAFECHAIN™ Review & Evaluation Framework™

Executive Summary

The SAFECHAIN™ Review & Evaluation Framework™ establishes the governance methodology for reviewing, evaluating and learning from SAFECHAIN™ frameworks, programmes, services, digital systems, partnerships and implementation activities.

As SAFECHAIN™ develops into an integrated knowledge, governance and institutional improvement ecosystem, continuous review becomes essential to ensure that frameworks remain effective, evidence-informed and aligned with organisational objectives.

The Review & Evaluation Framework provides the structured process through which SAFECHAIN™ examines:

• effectiveness;

• relevance;

• implementation;

• outcomes;

• stakeholder experience;

• improvement opportunities.

The Framework ensures that SAFECHAIN™ does not simply create frameworks, but continually learns from their application and evolves through evidence.
