The USAID Data for Development Project (Data for Development) conducted a mid-term performance
evaluation of the Kizazi Kipya Project implemented by Pact and its sub-grantees. The project?s goal is to
improve the well-being of one million HIV-affected orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and their
families. Key expected results include improved health, nutrition, education, protection, livelihoods and
psychosocial outcomes, as well as strengthening the HIV continuum of care among HIV positive OVC,
youth, and their families. The evaluation?s purpose is to assess project performance, analyze the
effectiveness of its approaches, assess its prospects for sustainability, and help the Mission to identify best
practices and lessons learned.
The project helped strengthen the national case management system and contributed to the continuum
of care for HIV positive children and adolescents; however, there remains a need to optimize the referral
to care and treatment system and scale-up services to support treatment adherence and viral suppression.
The project contributed to household resilience and women?s empowerment through WORTH+ savings
and loan groups, which show promising sustainability. Violence against children prevention and
parent/guardian training contributed to changing caregiver behaviors towards children. Conversely,
challenges remain in victim response and resolution of gender-based violence cases.
Case management improved access to services: addressing service delivery needs locally, increasing the
frequency of client referrals to services, and smoothing the referral process. However, challenges remain
to the implementation and sustainability of the community volunteer approach. Ongoing donor
commitments and increased government commitment are needed to bring the national case management
system to scale and sustain it after project completion.
