"This evaluation of the CBR Program in Eritrea was carried out by SINTEF Health Research in August - September 2004. The methods applied are qualitative; interviews, group interviews, focus group discussions and observations, and utilisation of existing documentation. The objectives of the evaluation has been to i) assess the effectiveness, impact and relevance of the program, ii) examine and draw conclusions regarding the program's strengths and weaknesses, and iii) to propose recommendations that can strengthen the program. The evaluation has shown that the program is highly relevant, that it has been effective in achieving its goals to a certain extent, and that impact is demonstrated in certain areas. The strength of the program is its relevance for the country and for the population and its integration in local communities. The challenges are largely linked to lack of resources and need for capacity to be built"
