Evaluering
Impact evaluation of three projects in Pokot, Kenya
Pokot Development Programme (PDP) and Pokot Integrated Programme were implemented in the larger Pokot West district. The church had implemented the PDP project between 1991 and 2002 when the project ended and later continued in the new PIP project implemented between 2003 and 2007. The PDP project was designed as a development project with four components: agriculture, health, education and women concern to support Kenyan government to facilitate long term poverty reduction strategies. PIP continued these four components with a new objective to integrate these social activities in the church administrative and congregational set up. The HIV/AIDS community counsellors project was administered by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya North West Diocese (ELCK). The main purpose of the project was to build the capacity of the church members in the control and prevention of the spread of HIV/AIDS. It aimed at integrating HIV/AIDS into the administrative and congregational set up, and thereby enabling the church to meet its full vision of serving and mobilizing people both spiritually and socially. The main target group was communities and households in West Pokot, with a special focus on the infected and affected of HIV/AIDS, orphans, widows/widowers, street children, truck drivers, sex commercial workers and Matatu touts.
