Summative Evaluation of the CI IHSS Programme in Malawi
Overview
In 2014 DFATD and UNICEF contracted the Medical Research Council (MRC), South Africa, to conduct an external evaluation of the IHSS. The purpose of the evaluation, which was conducted in partnership with the University of the Western Cape and Save the Children, was to evaluate the effect of the IHSS on coverage of a package of maternal and child health interventions in Malawi and to inform future programme and policy decisions in Malawi and regionally.
The objectives of the evaluation were to assess the effect of the IHSS on the following:
Relevance: Alignment with national priorities and plans, enhanced policy environment and promotion of gender equity.
Effectiveness: Effect on strengthening the health system and the capacity of government and/or civil society organizations to train, equip, deploy and supervise front-line health workers to deliver a limited package of high-impact health interventions.
Impact: Effect on coverage of health and nutrition interventions supported by the IHSS; as well as the effect on the number of additional lives saved calculated using the Lives Saved Tool (LiST).
Sustainability: The cost of implementing iCCM and the organizational and financial sustainability of the programme.
The scope of the external evaluation was limited to assessing the plausible contribution of the IHSS intervention to the above areas due to the infeasibility of establishing a true counterfactual.
The intended audience of the external evaluation includes the Ministries of Health in the six programme countries, DFATD, UNICEF, other UN agencies, and governmental and civil society partners at national, regional, and global levels.
