To establish the effect of each of the various strategies adopted in implementing the MUM Project. PACE intended to use this information to inform future interventions.
1. To determine the relevance of demand creation activities, transport interventions and financing strategies in improving 4th ANC, FD and PNC
2. To determine the effectiveness of demand creation activities, transport interventions and financing strategies in improving 4th ANC, FD and PNC
3. To determine the efficiency of demand creation activities, transport interventions and financing strategies in improving 4th ANC, FD and PNC
4. To determine the sustainability of demand creation activities, transport interventions and financing strategies developed.
A cross-sectional design was adopted in undertaking this study combining both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative component measured in quantifiable terms, the changes brought about by the strategies and interventions adopted to implement the Project. A quasi-experimental design was applied to some of the Project sub-components, namely, IPC and ETS, in order to arrive at the contribution of the Project to the reported benefits or outcomes using the counterfactual evaluation approach. The qualitative component, on the other hand, generated a more in-depth understanding of the more complex, community and contextual aspects, including issues of relevance and sustainability of the Project strategies and interventions and the reasons thereof.
