Evaluation of a Postnatal Home Visiting Program for mothers, neonates and their families in Gaza, State of Palestine, over the period 2011 – 2016
Overview
The purpose of this external independent evaluation is twofold: firstly, it documents and assesses the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the PNHV programme; and secondly identifies good practices and areas for improvement. UNICEF SoP and its partners are keen to learn from the support provided in the past six years, be informed about the impact on Palestinian families and use the generated evidence to inform future programming and decision making on how to best proceed with the provision of post-natal care in a resource constrained humanitarian context. For this reason, UNICEF commissioned an external independent evaluation.
The objectives of the evaluation are to:
1) Assess the relevance; effectiveness; efficiency; impact and sustainability of the PNHV programme against the OECD/DAC criteria (OECD, 2016); and
2) Identify lessons learned, including gaps and challenges, and translate findings and conclusions into evidence-informed recommendations that can provide strategic direction to UNICEF SoP, MOH and partners for future programming.
The evaluation provides insight in how the PNHV programme filled the gap in health service provision for mothers with high-risk pregnancies and their new-born who were discharged only within several hours after delivery throughout the Gaza strip. In 2016, the programme covered 12.9 per cent of all live birth in Gaza, and this evaluation therefore – through its quantitative analysis – also provides insight into results of significant numbers of women and their new-borns over the period 2011- 2016. The evaluation focusses on all governorates of Gaza, being North Zone, Gaza City, Deir al-Balah or midzone, Khan Younis and Rafah.
