Program

Programmes are coherent sets of interrelated policies, strategies, services, activities and investment designed to achieve a specific time-bound national objective or set of objectives. As a time-bound intervention, a program is similar to a project but unlike the latter it cuts across sectors, themes or geographic areas, uses a multi-disciplinary approach, involves more institutions, and may be supported by several different funding sources. Programme evaluation focus more on questions of institutional performance, processes, changes and interrelationships, as well as the development in the sectors involved.
