Abstract
This is the final report of the mid term review of the UNFPA Global Programme to enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security (GPRHCS). A brief overview of the Programme is provided at section 2.3. Terms of reference for the review are attached at Annex 1.
The purpose of the review is to:
- Assess the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the current strategies and approaches designed to improve RHCS, as financed by the GPRHCS
- Assess the coordination, management and support from UNFPA global and regional levels to national level efforts
The conclusions of this review will inform design of the programme for the next phase and should also encourage some developments within the current one. This report is a synthesis of findings from fourteen1 country case studies, interviews at global and regional level with UNFPA staff and stakeholders, and extensive literature review. It is therefore a strategic document dealing with principles of the Programme and high level design issues. The individual case studies reflect more closely on experiences and country level conclusions, in so far as their scope allows. (see also section 2.4, Scope of the review).
