Mid-Term Evaluation of 'Strengthening the Nigerian Health System towards Achieving Universal Health Coverage (HSS)’ Programme (2022)

The focus of the evaluation is on the assessment of achievements, the quality and the results of actions in the context of an evolving cooperation policy with an increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches and the contribution towards the implementation of the SDGs. 

From this perspective, the evaluation should look for evidence of why, whether or how these results are linked to the European Union (EU) intervention and seek to identify the factors driving or hindering progress. The evaluation has to provide an understanding of the cause-and-effect links between inputs and activities, and outputs, outcomes and impacts. Evaluations will serve accountability, decision-making, learning and management purposes.  

The main objectives of this evaluation are to provide the relevant services of the European Union, the interested stakeholders and the wider public with relevant information including: 

• To produce an overall independent assessment of the past performance of the Programme (Components 2 and 3), paying particular attention to its results measured against its expected objectives and the reasons underpinning such results.
• To document key lessons learned, best practice, conclusions and related recommendations in order to improve current and future Actions in line with the SDG 3.8 of advancing universal health coverage.
