| Overview : Please note: for this proposal, ‘evaluation’ is defined as follows: “Development evaluation is a tool for analysing and assessing development results. It has a central role in results based management (RBM) and for learning. It provides information on results, deepened understanding of how and why certain results were – or weren’t – achieved, and determines whether they were satisfactory or not. Evaluation provides us with knowledge of what works, for whom, under what circumstances and how.” As part of an Africa Regional HIV Grant for Removing Legal Barriers to Access, a partnership of organizations has been formed to strengthen the legal and policy environment to reduce the impact of HIV and TB on key populations in 10 countries in Africa (Botswana, Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Seychelles, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia).
