External Evaluation Report: SEAOHUN Regional Flagship Programs and Two Country-Specific Program Activities
We are excited to announce the release of our new publication, which presents a through external evaluation of SEAOHUN’s regional flagship programs and country-specific training initiatives. This comprehensive assessment covers the Fellowship, Scholarship, Student Engagement, and One Health Research and Training Awards, alongside country-specific programs like Participatory Epidemiology and Field Epidemiology training, as well as One Health Student Clubs activities.
The evaluation meticulously examined the impact, relevance, lessons learned, and sustainability of each program. It began with regional initiatives before delving into the specifics of country-level efforts. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the evaluation included document reviews, surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews, all adhering to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's Development Assistance Committee criteria.
With data collected from 220 beneficiaries and stakeholders, disaggregated by region, country, university, and gender, the report provides detailed analyses of the programs' effectiveness and relevance. It highlights how well these initiatives have met their objectives, contributed to capacity building, and aligned with national priorities.
The evaluation also offers both overall and program-specific recommendations aimed at informing strategic decision-making, fostering innovation, and enhancing the sustainability of the programs beyond the One Health Workforce - Next Generation Project. Conducted by a home-based consultant from November 30, 2023, to May 31, 2024, this publication is an invaluable resource for understanding and improving the impact of One Health initiatives in Southeast Asia.
We invite you to read the full report and join us in our commitment to advancing One Health education and collaboration across the region.
