The health systems 20/20 project in Egypt : end-of-project performance evaluation : volume I (main report)

to conduct an end-of-project performance evaluation of the health-systems-strengthening project, Health Systems 20/20, in Egypt (HS 20/20 Egypt). The evaluation had two overarching purposes: (1) assess to what extent the project’s objectives and goals contributed to the achievement of the intended results and (2) determine whether moving forward with a new health-systems-strengthening project is a good investment of USAID funds. In addition to performance and achievements, the evaluators were asked: (1) to assess the project’s working relationships with counterparts and stakeholders; (2) to identify ways in which the monitoring and evaluation functions of future projects can be improved; (3) and to provide guidance regarding the manner in which USAID might maximize lessons learned for future investments in health-systems strengthening.
