Abstract
A mid-term evaluation (MTE) of the African Palliative Care Association (APCA) Project was conducted in Namibia between April 21 and May 10, 2012, to inform and strengthen activities currently implemented by APCA, as well as future USAID programming in basic care and support for adults and children living with HIV/AIDS, by determining the progress, efficiency, and effectiveness of APCA toward achieving the projects intermediate results.This mid-term evaluation seeks to inform and strengthen activities currently implemented by APCA, as well as future USAID programming in basic care and support for adults and children living with HIV/AIDS, by determining the progress, efficiency, and effectiveness of APCA toward achieving the projects intermediate results.The findings are regrouped under each of the four evaluation questions and address (1) progress achieved toward the projects results; (2) effectiveness in supporting the MOHSS and local organizations; (3) capacity-building and skills transfer of local organizations; and (4) palliative cares fit into the current context of Namibians response to HIV/AIDS.
