Abstract: Data for Impact (D4I) is conducting a prospective mixed-methods portfolio evaluation of four USAID/Nigeria HPN Activities, with a focus on comparing an integrated health programming approach with a disease-focused approach (malaria). Evaluation results will inform adaptive program implementation and support USAID/Nigeria’s investment strategy prioritization to improve health outcomes.

The sustainability assessment component of the evaluation seeks to answer the following broad evaluation question related to health programming effectiveness:

Did relevant commitment/engagement and capacity outcomes improve
more from baseline to endline in LGAs/states where an integrated approach (IHP) was implemented, a disease-focused approach (PMI-S) was implemented, or a combination of the two?

All four HPN Activities are engaging with state teams and structures through capacity strengthening activities to improve health planning, management, and coordination at the state and community levels. Through this engagement and capacity building they expect to gain support and commitment of stakeholders and gradually sustain the changes achieved.

This report presents an overview of the methods used to evaluate sustainability of HPN programming approaches and the baseline results of the assessment. The sustainability assessment was part of the second round of evaluation process monitoring conducted in early 2022. The first round of process monitoring in 2021 focused on coordination and collaboration
among the Activities.
