The PDO will be achieved by: (i) strengthening through the Ministry of Population and Social Action (MP/AS) the Government's capacity to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate large multi-sector demographic interventions; (ii) launching nation-wide advocacy, information, education, and communication (IEC), and behavior change communication (BCC) campaigns on Pop/RH issues; (iii) enhancing female autonomy and empowerment interventions, including legal reforms; and (iv) strengthening monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity and processes. Comprehensive baseline data on Pop/RH have become available through the 2006 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). An interim small-scale Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) survey will be conducted in time for the Mid-Term Review (MTR) of the PRODEM. Finally, a follow up DHS will be conducted at the end of Project Year III in order to provide data needed to evaluate the project. The extent to which the PDO of the PRODEM is attained by the end of the project will be measured by five Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will be evaluated over a period of 4 years and monitored with Intermediate Outcome Indicators.It should be noted that three KPIs are dealing with the issues of birth spacing and fertility decline as the broader agenda of reproductive health is being addressed fully under the IDA-funded Institutional Strengthening and Health Sector Support Project.

It aimed at helping the Ministry of Population to prepare for the closing of the project. The mission had the opportunity to review the remaining activities to be implemented before the closing date (March 31, 2012) and to launch the preparation of the project closing workshop. The workshop will discuss the outcomes of the project and also learn how the beneficiaries benefited from the project over the five (5) year period. The project completed the following: (i) a beneficiaries participatory assessment; and (ii) an internal evaluation of the project. The two reports are under finalization and will be submitted to the national workshop for discussion. The project made good progress (reaching and surpassing target in most cases) in: (i) the number of people sensitized on population and reproductive health issues through interpersonal sensitization, sermons by the religious leaders, training and focus groups discussion which has been increased from 0 to 5 million; (ii) the prevalence rate of modern contraceptives increased from 5% in 2006 to 12% in 2012 and many activities at the village level have been implemented by local health workers trained by the project on community based distribution of contraceptives and on family planning.
