Global IPC partnership. Final evaluation (draft version)

This report presents the results of a final evaluation of the IPC programme run throughout the summer of 2009, and based on the mid-term evaluation carried out in 2008. It aims to give a progress report of the programme and propose strategic actions to be implemented in the short and medium term.

The evaluation focused particularly on the timeliness of the activities implemented, the appropriateness of the technical and institutional support and how the lessons learned from experience were incorporated to adjust the IPC approach.

The conclusions and recommendations come under six main headings:

1. consistency and relevance of the programme.,
2. effectiveness and efficiency of programme management (with recommendations particularly on governance structure, coordination and communication strategy).,
3. capacity building (training, documentation, capitalisation).,
4. technical issues and quality assurance.,
5. institutionalisation of the programme (still very limited).,
6. deployment of IPC in countries and regions.
