The main objective of the evaluation is to provide the Government and the Delegation of the European Commission to Zimbabwe with sufficient information to: 1. Assess how the project has taken on board recommendations from previous evaluations. Capitalize on documented lessons learnt. 2. Make an informed judgment about the programme (relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact sustainability and performance of the project); 3.Make recommendations on future action / programme (the mission should propose future scenarios of action based on lessons learned, new policy framework, current priorities in the country also related to AIDS pandemic and OVC (orphan and vulnerable children), donors’ general response and any policy dialogue opportunities and/or challenges). Scenarios on future action should take into account ideas from the preparation of the 10th EDF programming exercise.
