Ethiopia Evaluation of the Urban Agriculture Program for HIV/AIDS Affected Women and Children

TMG assessed achievements, impacts and challenges in reaching the three program objectives: (a) improvement of nutritional status of HIV/AIDS affected families; (b) improvement of income levels for these families; and (c) improvement of skills and alternative livelihoods. The UA program was part of the U.S. response package for Ethiopia that included substantial PEPFAR funding. TMG employed an evaluation team that met with stakeholders in Addis Ababa and representatives with 15 implementing partners and undertook field work covering 5 IPs to assess the program’s organizational performance, achievements, cost efficiency, sustainability and linkages with other services, and capacity building and monitoring and evaluation efforts.
