The ex-post evaluation report states that considering the fact that other donors, such as UNICEF and WHO have also been contributing to EPI program, it is more correctly to say that the project has achieved its objectives with the combined efforts of such donors contributing to EPI program. |

| Alignment/Composition of Finance |
Evaluation |
Project cost was within the plan (85% against plan). Based on this and some delays, the ex-post evaluation report considered the efficiency of the project is fair.
For sustainability issues, the ex-post evaluation report mentioned that there is no problem in the institutional aspect in terms of Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) logistics; however, the project has some problems in current status of operation, maintenance, and management. As for the technical aspect, trainings for health staff on EPI and Tuberculosis (TB) smear examination have been properly conducted on a regular basis and health staff has acquired sufficient knowledge and skills, but they have some difficulties to repair the major defects of fridges. As for the financial aspects, the budget allocation on EPI implementation has been smoothly done and O&M budget has been properly allocated through Annual Operation Plan (AOP), but there is a minor problem that the disbursement of O&M budget toward HCs is delayed. Based on these, the ex-post evaluation report considered the sustainability of the project fair. |
