Use of unmanned air vehicles (medical drones) to overcome geographical barriers to delivery Antiretroviral therapy: The Bufumira pilot.
REFNo: HS725ES
In this study, we shall evaluate the use unmanned air vehicles (Medical Drones) to deliver ART to adult patients eligible/enrolled in community DSD models in Bufumira Islands, Kalangala district. The geography of the islands is ideal for this project because of the flat landscape and water coverage. We hypothesize that the use of drones would be acceptable to patients and stakeholders, reduce facility drug stock outs, increase retention in care by 10% in intervention (at 12 months) as compared to the control health centres and be cost neutral (to the patients and health sector perspectives)

NEW HORIZONS COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVE
IMPACT EVALUATION
REFNo: SS510ES
The proposed study is an evaluation of the New Horizons Collaborative programme which combines elements of process evaluation, impact assessment and outcome evaluation (Rossi et al, 2004).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, relevance, efficiency and sustainability of the programme, in order to assess its value to the programme beneficiaries and other stakeholders.
Please note that for the purposes of this study, we use the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s criteria for evaluation, and their definitions as follows:
The concept of effectiveness refers to how effective the programme was in meeting its objectives and bringing about change.
Relevance refers to the extent to which the programme objectives and design have responded to the needs of the beneficiaries, partners, priorities and countries where it has been implemented.
Efficiency refers to the extent to which the programme delivers, or is able to deliver, results in an economic and timely way.
Sustainability refers to the extent to which the net benefits of the intervention continue, or are likely to continue.
The evaluation will focus on descriptive and normative questions, including looking at what the programme achieved (effectiveness), exploring to what extent it addressed an identified need and how it aligns with government priorities (relevance) how it was perceived and valued (relevance and sustainability), whether the programme objectives are being met (efficiency and effectiveness), what unintended outcomes were produced (relevance and effectiveness), how efficient the programme was in terms of representing value for money (efficiency and sustainability) and what specific features of the programme and context made a difference (sustainability).
The specific objectives for the evaluation are as follows:
1. To ascertain the reach of the programme in the three selected countries (effectiveness)
2. To measure the impact of NHC on patient’s lives (schooling, social interaction) (effectiveness and relevance)
3. To measure the overall indirect benefit to caregivers (such as reduction in morbidity and hospitalization of their children) (effectiveness and relevance)
4. To measure the impact of NHC as a catalyst for health systems strengthening (relevance and sustainability)
5. To evaluate how efficient the programme was (efficiency and sustainability)
