Abstract

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in the Philippines contracted a third party evaluation team to conduct a final performance evaluation of its family planning (FP) and maternal and child health (MCH) portfolio. USAID's FP and MCH portfolio currently supports five projects which are focused in 30 provinces with a total population of over 37 million, around 40% of the population of the Philippines. The evaluation, conducted in two phases, was to determine the extent to which the portfolio has met its overarching objectives of: (1) strengthened local government units (LGU) provision and management of health services; (2) expanded quality services by private and commercial providers; (3) increased appropriate healthy behaviors and practices; and (4) improved policy environment and financing of services.
