Building upon an existing body of internal and external evaluations and research studies, in 2019-20, Tostan commissioned an external evaluation partner, IDinsight, to carry out a study in five countries (Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal) to understand social norms, social dynamics, and governance structures three to five years after communities had completed the CEP.
