Report of the evaluation of the USAID/Uganda stop malaria project

The project has been managed by a the Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs (CCP) with $20.9 million of funding to date from the United States President's Malaria Initiative and the United State Agency for International Development. The project was designed to provide support to the National Malaria Control Programme (NCMP) as well as work in half of the districts of the country. The evaluation team addressed four areas: (1) service delivery (preventive, curative and systems strengthening); (2) project performance successes and weaknesses ; (3) cost effectiveness and efficiency of the partnership between Johns Hopkins University and its partners; and (4) and capacity building of NMCP and districts. The conclusions and recommendations are based upon evidence compiled from review of project documentation, interview of key informants, visits to a sample of districts and health facilities and secondary analysis of multiple datasets from household surveys, a health facility survey and routine health data of the Ministry of Health (MoH).
