In 2013, UNICEF commissioned an external evaluation of the two projects implemented by D-tree through a competitive bidding process in which Bluwat (Tanzania) Limited were selected to undertake the assignment. The external evaluation will contribute to accountability and learning for key stakeholders including the Tanzania Ministry of Health & Social Welfare and the Zanzibar Ministry of Health, D-tree, UNICEF, sub-national health teams and civil society; provide recommendations on future scale up; and inform UNICEF Tanzania Country Office programming strategies linked with the use of mobile technology for different areas of programme implementation and information systems strengthening.
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and the sustainability of the use of mobile technologies for the screening and treatment purpose in the areas of nutrition and maternal health. Given the pilot nature of the project and duration of implementation over a two year period each, the criteria of impact is given lesser weight. Greater weight is given the criteria of relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability to strengthen the scope of examination on the pilot nature of the projects and their capacity to go to scale within the development context of Tanzania.
