The Full Country Evaluations were Gavi-funded real-time evaluations of immunisation programmes in Bangladesh, Mozambique, Uganda and Zambia, from 2013 to 2016. The evaluations focused on providing evidence for improvement of immunisation delivery in these countries and spanned all phases of Gavi support. The process evaluation approach of the evaluations utilised mixed methods to track progress against defined theories-of-change and related milestones during the various stages of implementation of the Gavi support streams. This article highlights complexities of this type of real-time evaluation and shares lessons learnt on conducting such evaluation from the Zambian experience. Real-time process evaluation is a complex evaluation methodology that requires sensitivity to the context of the evaluation, catering for various information needs of stakeholders, and establishment of mutually beneficial relationships between programme implementers and evaluators. When used appropriately, it can be an effective means of informing programme decisions and aiding programme improvement for both donors and local implementers.

实时评估的利弊：赞比亚 Gavi 全面国家评估的经验教训

全国别评估是由 Gavi 资助对孟加拉国、莫桑比克、乌干达和赞比亚 2013 年至 2016 年的免疫计划进行的实时评估。评估侧重于为改善这些国家的免疫接种提供证据，并跨越 Gavi 支持的所有阶段. 在 Gavi 支持流实施的各个阶段，评估的过程评估方法使用混合方法来跟踪已定义的变革理论和相关里程碑的进展。本文重点介绍了此类实时评估的复杂性，并分享了从赞比亚经验中进行此类评估的经验教训。实时过程评估是一种复杂的评估方法，需要对评估的上下文具有敏感性，满足利益相关者的各种信息需求，并在计划实施者和评估者之间建立互利关系。如果使用得当，它可以成为为捐助者和当地实施者提供计划决策和帮助计划改进的有效手段。
