                                                        In February 2014 CASEC carried out evaluation exercise for World Vision Tanzania Izigo Area Development Programme (ADP).  The programme is located in Muleba district, Kagera region in Tanzania.  The programme operated in four administrative wards of Izigo, Muhutwe, Mayondwe and Katoke in Muleba District and covered atotal of 14 villages.  It is an integrated development programme comprising five projects namely: Education; Food Security; Economic Development; HIV and AIDS and Sponsorship Management.  The evaluation covered a span of five years focusing on programme implementation and management from October 2009 to September 2013.  The programme goal was to improve quality of life of Izigo community by 2018.  World Vision Germany provides financial assistance for the implementation of the programme.

The ADP is located in Nung’hu and Sengerema division, Maswa District, in Simiyu Region at Njiapanda village, about 85 km from Shinyanga Municipal and 22 km from Maswa District Council’s office.  The evaluation employed Probability Proportional Size (PPS) sampling technique which enabled to select six hundred (600) households in 18 sampled.  The evaluation also used other methods to collect data such as documentary reviews, Focused Group Discussions, key informant interviews, field visits and observations.  Most of the data was analysed using the SPSS computer software.  The ENA for smart software was used to calculate stunting, underweight and wasting of children below five years of age.

The document is to be used for guiding the diocese in improving social services and the wellbeing of the people.  One of the five year strategic goals for this plan was “To strengthen Mission and Evangelistic work in all ELCT North Central Diocese operational areas”.
