Home Care - 2.1 Purpose of the evaluation
2.1 Purpose of the evaluation
The International HIV/AIDS Alliance commissioned the evaluation of the Home Care Model used by NGO/MoH Partners in Cambodia. The primary purpose of the evaluation, which was agreed in consultation with NCHADS, is to assist Home Care Partners in formulating a strategy to expand and improve care and support to families affected by HIV/AIDS in Cambodia. The evaluation may also be used by other Ministries, NGOs and international donors to shape national strategy on Home Care. It is intended that the evaluation provides a national overview, which will be supplemented by more localised findings from the KHANA Partner NGO Participatory Reviews in July 2000.
The expanded focus on Home-base Care in the recent MoH/NCHADS Strategic Plan has resulted in increased donor interest in this area. The AIDS Care Unit of NCHADS is in the process of formulating a strategy for expanding the Home Care programme to selected provinces. It was agreed, in consultation with NCHADS, that the findings of this evaluation will be used to help guide and shape the expansion strategy.
The evaluation was designed in consultation with NCHADS, KHANA, Alliance, USAID and the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH), with inputs from other stakeholders in the programme. The approach of Comprehensive Care Across the Continuum (outlined earlier in this report) provided the theoretical basis for the design. Other provisional issues to be evaluated were drawn from reviews of other home care projects and earlier reviews of the Cambodia pilot project, as well as preliminary discussions with the key stakeholders from government and non-government agencies.
