Abstract
USAID/Kenya's Office of Population and Health (OPH) contracted AMEX International to conduct an end-of-project evaluation of the Capacity Kenya Project (CKP). The purpose of the evaluation was to identify successes and lessons learned from the implementation of the CKP as well as to discern new approaches to enhance the effectiveness of human resources for health (HRH) follow-on program. The evaluation found the CKP's project design and original work plans were ambitious, albeit in line with the priorities of the GoK and within the USG mandate and priorities. The evaluation team found that the CKP has been successful in achieving the vast majority of specific project objectives set forth by OPH and most key performance indicators as outlined in the 2013 PMP. However, many of the indicators did not have targets. This was done in the face of fairly ambitious planned outcomes and moving priorities of the GoK. As the discussion below will illustrate, the degree of convergence between project work plans and project implementation was found to be relatively high. This is especially true in the second half of the project after significant changes occurred in CKP leadership. (Excerpt, modified)
