This brief illustrates EnCompass’ evaluation of the Beyond Access initiative– funded by the Global Libraries Program– to enhance access to technology in libraries across Myanmar. Implemented by the Myanmar Book Aid and Preservation Foundation (MBAPF) and IREX, this initiative has transformed 90 locations throughout Myanmar into technology hubs and community centers for learning digital skills. EnCompass conducted this evaluation in two phases using a mixed-methods approach from 2015-2016. EnCompass conducted interviews and focus groups and evaluated quantitative project monitoring data in this project.
