Final Term Review of Strategic Plan 2011 - 2015

Sikika is a health advocacy local NGO registered in Tanzania with a nationwide mandate to have an oversight role in the performance of the health sector. It is expected that this oversight will contribute to the attainment of quality health services to all Tanzanians through the use of Social Accountability Monitoring (SAM) in the health sector. Since its establishment in 1999, the organization has transformed in many ways – from working on supporting youth reproductive health programs to broader fundamental health systems programs namely Health Care Governance and Financing, Human Resources for Health, Medicines and Medical Supplies and HIV & AIDS.
During the implementation of the strategic plan we intensified our interventions in selected rural districts of: Kondoa and Mpwapwa (Dodoma), Kiteto & Simanjiro (Manyara), Iramba and Singida Rural (Singida) to complement the previously urban and semi urban districts focus in Kibaha (Pwani) and Kinondoni, Temeke, Ilala (Dar es Salaam). The purpose was to empower both rural and semi urban citizens by reinforcing accountability within the local government health systems. Social Accountability Monitoring 1 in health systems was central to all interventions within the Program’s Strategic Plan period, while Outcome Mapping 2 was applied as the main management tool for internal planning, monitoring & evaluation.
In contributing to the progressive realization of rights and capabilities in the health sector, the 2011-2015 Strategic Plan aimed at achieving the following broad objectives through Social Accountability Monitoring:
  1. Increased health sector budget efficiency, transparency and accountability at both central and local Government levels.
  2. Increased financial allocation, equitable distribution of health workers and their adherence to professional ethics.
  3. Increased availability and accessibility to quality medicines and supplies at all levels of health care delivery.
  4. Enhanced accountability and oversight function over HIV&AIDS resources at both central and local government level.
THE PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF EVALUATION
The five-year strategic plan 2011-2015 will come to an end in December 2015. Hence it is important to conduct an external evaluation, assessing the strategy’s effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, and sustainability; and specifically identifying the major outcomes that the programme achieved during the period of five years.
OBJECTIVES
I. Inform management decisions on strategic positioning for the next strategic plan 2016 -2020.
II. Provide learning and recommendations to inform Sikika interventions for the 2016 -2020 strategic plan period. This will assist Sikika to address any weaknesses and gather lessons from the current strategic plan, build on future opportunities, capitalize on strengths and develop strong explicit approaches to threats/challenges for conception and smooth implementation of the next strategic plan 2016 -2020.
III. Inform Sikika funding partners; the results would inform funding partners as well as facilitate strategic partnerships for the 2016-2020
The work will include but not necessarily be limited to:
I. An evaluation of direct and indirect health results obtained in relation to Sikika’s vision of quality health services to all Tanzanians and the objectives of its strategic plan. It will provide an in-depth analysis of the specific areas and identify factors contributing to the same, including the significance of Sikika’s contribution to the results identified.
II. An assessment of the institutional capacity that supported the programme, by reviewing the organization’s internal strategies and approaches in delivering strategic objectives and
III. Assess to what extent has Sikika responded to changes in the context in which its work is situated and to the recommendations of the 2013 midterm review.
