This evaluation is a "mid-term evaluation" and covers the period from the start of intervention activities in 2017 until mid-2023 (30/06/2023). Its aim is to provide an independent analysis of the programme's performance, highlighting the qualitative and quantitative results in relation to the objectives. More specifically, it will assess the relevance of the intervention's focus areas in light of the results obtained. It will also verify the proper delivery of equipment (including destination, allocation, use, and associated training). Additionally, it will evaluate the intervention's performance in terms of the results achieved and the resources allocated, as well as the satisfaction of users of frontline health services. The recommendations aim to contribute to the reflection for the next strategic programming in the health sector and to inform future interventions by 2025/2026.
