The UNICEF commissioned the summative evaluation of DaO project as UNICEF Country Programme
(2012-2016) is reaching the midpoint. The main purpose of the evaluation was to document and increase the knowledge of results, good practices and lessons learnt in perinatal care with specific recommendations.
It also specifies UNICEF’s contribution to enhancing maternal and child health care system, quality of care and maternal and child survival in the country as well as determines whether UNICEF pilot
projects have been effective and should be scaled up countrywide. In addition to UNICEF Country Office,
other UN Agencies and development partners as well as the Ministry of Health will benefit from the evaluation in planning, implementing and coordinating perinatal care.
The evaluation focused on assessing the project’s current and potential contribution to the improvement
of MCH health indicators in Kyrgyzstan. Each evaluation criterion was analyzed from the perspective
of assessing the implications of project activities’ on: i) final beneficiaries - women and children; ii)
service providers - health care professionals whose capacity has been built (including doctors, midwives,
and health facility managers); iii) sub-national decision-making level - Regional health authorities and
(local governments; and iv) national decision-making level - national health authorities and key stakeholders (Ministry of Health and Department heads, Education institutions, Health Statistics Department, International Development and Implementing Partners, etc.).
