Abstract
The goal of this mid-term evaluation is to identify strengths and weaknesses to inform the future direction of services provided by the Partnership Project (see Appendix A: Scope of Work). USAID/Zimbabwe asked the evaluation team to assess emerging impact, review the continuing relevance of project objectives, and if necessary suggest amendments to the program. It will be used by USAID, DFID, and the project to determine the course of the project through 2010 in terms of: (1) whether or not the project is on target to achieve its goals as stated in the contract; (2) strengths and weaknesses within the project portfolio; (3) areas and activities that warrant continued investment, and untried initiatives and approaches that would likely improve access to and use and quality of HIV/AIDS products and services; (4) recommendations for mitigating weaknesses; and (5) recommendations for improving administration, coordination, and implementation of the project.
