HRP External evaluation 1990–2002 – Executive summary

Overview

In the period 1990–2002, HRP clearly met expectations in terms of its core mission to coordinate, promote, conduct and evaluate international research in reproductive health. HRP fulfils a uniquely important role that cannot be taken up by any other existing agency or organization in the world. HRP’s reproductive health research agenda has grown while its budget has contracted. Despite these constraints, the Programme has successfully maintained its leadership role. However, in order to continue to meet the high expectations of HRP performance by both donors and beneficiaries, additional human and financial support is needed. It is thus very important that HRP, with the help of members of its advisory bodies, gain increased support and commitment from its stakeholders.
