SOUTH SUDAN EARLY RECOVERY AND HUMANITARIAN PROJECT (SSERHP) END EVALUATION REPORT January , 2014 DENNIS OCHIENG & BETTY KWEYU ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Many people among them CARE staff and constituents have contributed to making this evaluation process a successful, smooth-running and rewarding process. Thanks go first of all to the Project Manager Sylvia Kaawe for her unswerving commitment to the evaluation process and tireless effort in ensuring a smooth workflow despite the unrest attributable to the growing tension and anxiety on the ground at the time Secondly, the evaluation team would like to appreciate the input of each and every CARE program staff in Panyagor sub office including but not limited to participation in interviews, coordination and logistics of this evaluation; in most instances beyond working hours and days. We appreciate the effort made by the County commissioner, Payam Administrators and Community members in attending meetings and interview sessions, with very short notices. Last but not least we acknowledge the input and dedication of all other CARE Staff based in Juba who facilitated the evaluation process; without their support the evaluation would not have been successful. i TABLE OF CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS ............................................................................................................
