The grant agreement between ADA and the Palestinian Ministry of Health on "Supporting the Creation of a national Non-Communicable Diseases Center" provides for an external project evaluation. The Austrian Development Cooperation has been  supporting the creation of such a center for the last four years and has provided about € 1,8 Mio. 
 
As detailled in the Terms of Reference, this evaluation aims to assess the progress of the project and the originally approved intervention logic and to nalyze how the project design and intervention logic have steered the achieved  outputs/outcomes. The purpose of the evaluation is also for both MoH and ADA to receive recommendations on which to base considerations for any future cooperation. 
 
 
In order to support the project’s stakeholders, the evaluation will:
a)     Analyze the relevance, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the project and make an assessment of achieved outputs/outcomes vis-à-vis the intervention logic.
b)     Assess whether or not the intended specific objectives were achieved.
c)    Help the donor to take a decision regarding the feasibility of continuing its support to the NCD Center.
