City of Tshwane in collaboration with The Innovation Hub Management Company of South Africa (The Innovation Hub) run two youth-focused entrepreneurship and innovation intervention programmes termed FabLab and eKasiLab. Since inception and prior to our work, the programmes had never been evaluated to determine if it was meeting the intended objectives.

In 2018, City of Tshwane engaged us to evaluate the programmes and assess their impacts, relevance, performance, cost effectiveness and successes. After extensive work covering six regions of the municipality, using appropriate evaluation techniques, financial modelling and data analysis, we were able to determine the effectiveness, cost-benefits, relevance, lessons and gaps in the the implementation of the programmes.
Our findings and recommendations assisted the City and The Innovation Hub to refine, redesign and improve upon the implementation of the programmes going forward.
