Sustainability Assessment of the Africa Child Survival Initiative (ACSI)Combatting Childhood Communicable Diseases (CCCD) Project Rwanda, 1993

摘要

Four years after the completion of A.I.D.'s Combatting Childhood CommunicableDiseases project in Rwanda, a team of health professionals evaluated the project's sustainability, assessing over 50 indicators on the basis of six criteria: (1) perceived effectiveness; (2) integration and institutional strengthening; (3) local financing, community participation, and private sector provision of services; (4) training; (5) constituency building; and (6) local ownership. It was found that there is a strong national commitment to continue project activities, and that the activities are well integrated into public and private health structures. It was unanimous among Ministry of Health (MOH) staff and participating donors that the project was needed and effective and that is achieved most of its objectives.
