Abstract
THIS SUCCESS IS MEASURED THROUGH THE EVALUATIVE CRITERIA OF RELEVANCE, MANAGEMENT, INSTITUTIONALIZATION AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT. IPAVS' INPUT OF MONEY, EQUIPMENT, AND TECHNICAL ASSITANCE IS REFLECTED IN MEASURABLE PROGRAM OUTPUT, SUCH AS NUMBER OF PERSONNEL TRAINED, NUMBER OF STERILIZATION FACILITIES PROVIDED, NUMBER OF PROCEDURES PERFORMED AND INITIATION OF NATIONAL PROGRAMS. IPAVS ILLUSTRATES THAT A SINGLE-PURPOSE PROGRAM WITH WELL-DEFINED OBJECTIVES IS STILL NEEDED AND HAS A PLACE IN THE FAMILY PLANNING MOVEMENT. IT IS FULLY EXPECTED THAT IPAVS WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP IN THE AREA OF VOLUNTARY STERILIZATION AND IN THE EXPANSION OF SERVICES. THE EVALUATORS DISCUSSED AND MADE 46 RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE SEVEN MAJOR PROJECT ACTIVITIES, NAMELY: (1)INTERNATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND COUNTRY CONFERENCES; (2)SERVICE PROGRAMS; (3)PLANS AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT; (4)INFORMATION AND EDUCATION PROGRAM; (5) SPECIALIZED RESOURCE AND REFERENCE CAPABILITY; (6)NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS FOR VOLUNTARY STERILIZATION (NAVS) AND THE WORLD FEDERATION OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR VOLUNTARY STERILIZATION (WFAVS); AND (7)TRAINING PROGRAMS. THE EVALUATORS ALSO DISCUSSED IPAVS' CENTRAL OFFICE AND MADE 13 RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING THERETO. ANNEXED TO THE EVALUATION ARE PROJECT REPORTS FOR 40 PROJECTS IN TEN COUNTRIES: KOREA; SRI LANKA; BANGLADESH; HONDURAS; GUATEMALA; EL SALVADOR; PAKISTAN; PHILIPPINES; AND TAIWAN.
