Despite having several government sectoral information systems and many credible sources of information on nutrition, the current information management system in the country is still weak and uncoordinated. There is no central repository for data from all sectors, and data are currently insufficiently analyzed and interpreted to guide and inform nutrition policy reviews and program planning.
The National Information Platforms for Nutrition (NIPN) is an international initiative of the European Commission with support from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the UK Government and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In Lao PDR, NIPN is implemented by the government with the support of the European Union Delegation (EUD) and UNICEF.
The evaluation’s main objective is to yield results that will contribute to enhancing the program performance and strategies to deliver effective results through:
1. Assessing the progress made towards results, good practices, and lessons learned
2. Evaluating the program's relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability
3. Generating knowledge and providing recommendations for strengthening the data analysis to guide and inform nutrition policy reviews and program planning.
