Christian Aid works with partners to challenge and transform those structures and relations.

The centres of operation are in Latin America, Africa and Asia and the Middle East.

The key purpose of the evaluation to assess the effectiveness of Christian Aid’s Resilient Livelihoods Framework in achieving sustainable and transformative outcomes for vulnerable individuals.
