Purpose of Evaluation:

The current mid-term evaluation has an important timing for the project to reflect on the Outcomes. It will also be important for development of the learnings for improvement of upcoming activities, as well as for the identification of potential strategies for the sustainability of outcomes of Project activities , especially the continuous mass vaccination, community awareness/ participation and school children education.

The evaluation should build upon the baseline and monitoring data, providing an opportunity for more in-depth analysis and understanding as to why certain intended (or unintended) outcomes are/are not achieved. Moreover, this mid-term evaluation will provide the opportunity for accountability towards the project stakeholders, as well as important learning for the project teams and partners.

The mid-term evaluation results will offer the possibility to use the findings for:

  • Assessing the contribution towards the outcomes achieved by the project so far;
  • Learning from best practices for improving the influencing of the project, as well as learning towards the development of the ZDU national roll out strategy
  • Providing recommendations on focal areas such as policy/ bylaw development, Mass dog vaccination, school education work, Community awareness and extension services in dog welfare (husbandry) and arguments for Makueni County government to ensure sustainability of project.
