Independent Performance Evaluation
This ex post performance evaluation was carried out to provide an independent, objective investigation into the effectiveness and efficacy of MTP activities, using the best data and most rigorous methods feasible. The program evaluation serves three purposes: provide lessons learned for MCC, the Government of Malawi, and other program donors; uphold MCC's institutional commitment to measuring program results; and provide practical lessons for current and future Threshold Program partners in developing and implementing Threshold Program activities. A team of two international consultants was hired to evaluate the Malawi Threshold Program.
The performance evaluation examined three key questions:
- Were activities fully executed and did they result in intended, or unintended, outcomes (meaningful changes in practice, knowledge, or attitudes)?
- Have those outcomes and pilot activities proved sustainable?
- What lessons learned can be drawn from these activities?
