The aim of the evaluation is to provide valid and timely evidence to child
health planners and policy makers about the effectiveness of ACSD Phase I in
reducing child mortality and improving child nutritional status. The specific
objectives are:
1. To evaluate the impact of ACSD on mortality and nutritional status among
children under five.
2. To document the process and intermediate outcomes of ACSD and results-based
planning as a basis for improved planning and implementation of child health
programs.
3. To document the contextual factors necessary for effective implementation
of efforts to reduce child mortality in order to be able to extrapolate
evaluation findings to other settings.
4. To assess the process, outcomes and impact of ACSD and results-based
planning on socio-economic, ethnic and gender inequities.
Achievement of these objectives should also expand regional and global capacity
for large-scale effectiveness evaluations of strategies, programs and
interventions designed to improve child health in low-income countries.
