Abstract
International Business & Technical Consultants, Inc. (IBTCI), under the Evaluation Services IQC, conducted this final evaluation of the Small Scale Infrastructure Project (SSIP) for USAID/Armenia. The purpose of the evaluation is to inform the design and development of future projects for USAID; identify lessons learned; assess strengths and weakness of strategies and activities performed by Cooperative Housing Foundation International (CHF); and provide recommendations to USAID for project planning for the next three to five years.USAID initiated the Small Scale Infrastructure Project (SSIP) in 2009 with the objective of creating temporary employment opportunities in vulnerable rural communities through the implementation of projects prioritized by communities such as rehabilitation/renovation of kindergartens, pre-schools, community centers, sport halls, gas and drinking water supply systems.
