Épidémie de l’infection à VIH/Sida au Bénin : implication en évaluation des ONG locales et efficacité de leurs interventions
While the role of HIV/AIDS' local NGOs is appreciated in Africa, their actions are perceived as inefficient because of a lack of monitoring and evaluation capacity. Moreover, NGOs’ involvement in evaluation can be useful for continuously improving programs. The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the influence of local NGOs’ involvement in evaluation on the effectiveness of their interventions. It used mixed (quantitative and qualitative) methods of analysis of data gathered from Benin NGOs' clients, officers and financiers. It is written as four articles format. The first's goal is to analyze descriptively the local HIV/AIDS NGOs’ involvement in evaluation and the characteristics influencing this involvement. The second aims to analyze by a quantitative method the influence this involvement in evaluation can have on the effectiveness of their interventions. The third's goal is to explore with qualitative method, actors’ perceptions and problems related to the involvement of NGOs in evaluations and to explain mechanisms by which that involvement can lead to increase interventions effectiveness. The last aims to analyze dimensions and the explanatory factors of NGOs' clients’ satisfaction. Recommendations are formulated in order to optimize the use of evaluations' methods by these organizations to improve the effectiveness of their actions.
