UNDP Ukraine used an ethnic distance monitoring tool to monitor and analyze the impact
of an educational intervention. A series of questions were elaborated:
Is greater acknowledgement of inequalities
and problems different minorities are facing
achieved by the end of the project?
Have there been any ‘structural’ changes in
schools participating in the project that are
intended to help to promote equality, such
140
as additional language classes, additional
classes in human rights or other related
topics, complaint procedures or forums for
addressing concerns?
Have changes in policy occurred – either at
the regional, or at the school level /districts (in
terms of increased curricula to address related
issues, or improvement in teacher training)
