HIV/AIDS portfolio evaluation USAID/Cambodia : final report

The scope of work specified two overarching questions: 1)How well have past Mission investments in HIV/AIDS performed? and 2)How should the Mission invest resources in HIV/AIDS during the next five years? USAID technical assistance in Cambodia has a long track record of testing potential innovations and model development, piloting and adaptation. There are numerous examples of replication and scale up of USAID-developed models. These include replication of prevention program models developed by USAID, using Global Fund monies, and the national roll-out of a continuum of care (CoC) model, based on a USAID pilot. Nonetheless, Global Fund grants have had an insufficient emphasis on technical oversight and quality assurance. USAID continues to add value beyond its own programming in these areas. USAID/Cambodia has successfully developed the technical and organizational capacity of national and community level NGOs to be major contributors to prevention and care and treatment programming. This has been critical to program success.
