Abstract

Funds to developing countries for HIV/AIDS programmes have noticeably increased. For civil society organisations (CSOs), one challenge of project implementation is the difficulty in assessing their interventions. A qualitative study was conducted in Malaysia and the Philippines with CSOs to identify the obstacles to HIV project evaluation. Twenty‐five bodies—CSOs, donors, governments and the United Nations—in both countries were interviewed. The findings show that despite contrasting political and socio‐economic contexts, both countries' CSOs share similar impediments to evaluation, including the lack of evaluation expertise, inadequate resources, onerous reporting obligations and constraints in evaluating interventions with marginalised groups.
