Summary evaluation results on theme one: Implementation

Was laboratory capacity (equipment procurement and service) strengthened through SLMTA?	-Trained laboratory personnel in each country -Participation in QMS by each country	Number of laboratory personnel trained.	50	Project reports (annual, quarterly reports), Continuation application documents	Yes	Several pieces of laboratory equipment were purchased for the participating laboratories. SLMTA was seen as one of the best programs that the project carried out, with potentially long-lasting effects in the participating countries. Five (50% of targeted 10) laboratories were internationally accredited under ISO 15189:2007 10 laboratories were certified with stars 1-3 under WHO SLIPTA.
		Number of labs enrolled into QMS and laboratory accreditation program	20
		Number of labs mentored	20
		Number of labs accredited.	10
		Number of laboratories with 1-3 star rankings	10
Were national laboratory strategic plans (NLSP) developed in all project countries?	Existence of Strategic plans	Number of NLSPs developed	10	Project reports, Continuation application documents	Yes	11 NLSPs were developed in the Caribbean (the Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad & Tobago).
Were the various interventions coordinated appropriately?	Monthly or quarterly team meetings	Number of team meetings with minutes	At least 4 per year	Reports	Partial	There was central coordination from the AFENET Secretariat and regular reporting to CDC. However, over the life of the project, the implementers never had a project meeting, and the key implementers and collaborators never reached the Secretariat.
Was there a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan?	-M&E plan available. -Was the plan used?	-Written M&E plan & database -Written decisions taken based on M&E results		Written plan	Partial	There was no written M&E plan, but annual reports were prepared according to the objectives of the project which implied some form of tracking of outputs.

Implementation: Yes =4, Partial = 4, Total sub questions 8, Mark 50%
