The Health Sector Support Programme (HSSP) in Belize Final Evaluation Report

The Health Sector Support Programme (HSSP) (2018–2025) was established to enhance Belize's health system's resilience, service delivery, and governance. It aligns with the Belize Health Sector Strategic Plan (BHSSP) 2014–2024 and the PAHO/WHO Belize Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) 2017–2021. Funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by PAHO/WHO in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Wellness (MoHW), the HSSP has evolved through an initial agreement and a subsequent amendment.

The final evaluation of the HSSP assessed its relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability, and visibility, identifying successes, challenges, and areas for improvement. It sought to determine whether objectives were met and interventions were sustainable, evaluate the optimal use of resources in achieving intended outcomes, document key lessons learned and best practices, and offer recommendations for future health sector planning and reform.
