| Overview : The UNDP Support to the Health Sector in Limpopo programme is the third phase of the UNV Support to the Health Sector in Limpopo. It is an extension of Phase I and Phase II, aimed at assisting the Government of South Africa to improve health care services in Limpopo Province. The health sector has been affected by a chronic deficit of health professionals, as a result of brain drain, the remoteness of the region and more attractive incentives elsewhere and abroad. The objective of the programme is to facilitate the recruitment and deployment of UN volunteer medical professionals in the rural areas of the province. UNDP is currently in the process of soliciting the services of a qualified service provider to conduct an end of programme evaluation. The evaluation will assess the overall contribution of the programme to the Government of Limpopo efforts in improving health service delivery as set out in the programme document, in particular, strengthening the capacity of the Department of Health on strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, promoting advocacy for volunteerism, MDGs domestication, human rights, south-south cooperation, and gender equality. |
