To assess to what extent HTF strategies, approaches and overall intervention logic have contributed to changing the health situation of the population with a special focus on maternal, newborn and child health and at the same time to determine whether the resources have been used in the most efficient way to achieve those changes.
The purpose of the final evaluation was two-fold: a) To assess the achievement of HTF intended results by the end of its implementation in 2015; b) To document lessons learnt and identify success factors and areas to be improved after the end of the program.
In line with the OECD-DAC criteria for international development evaluations, the evaluation sought to provide an assessment of the achievements of the HTF against the following criteria:
Relevance (Are we doing the right things?)
Relevance is defined by OECD-DAC as “the extent to which the aid activity is suited to the priorities and policies of the target group, recipient and donor”.
Effectiveness/Efficiency (Are we doing things right?)
Effectiveness is defined by OECD-DAC as “A measure of the extent to which an aid activity attains its objectives”. Efficiency measures the outputs in relations to inputs.
Impact (Did we contribute to change?)
Impact is defined by OECD-DAC as “the positive and negative changes produced by a development intervention, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended”.
Sustainability (Will change last?)
According to OECD-DAC, “Sustainability is concerned with measuring whether the benefits of an activity are likely to continue after donor funding has been withdrawn”.
