Abstract

The goal of this Proof of Influence evaluation is to harvest the outcomes of the project; it provides background and context for the project, objectives, and theory of change. The Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) undertook activities to increase the generation and use of evidence for decision-making in Bauchi and Cross River states, in order to strengthen the health care system towards delivering effective, efficient and equitable primary health care (PHC). This evaluation reviews outcomes, relevance, and NEHSI’s contribution with NEHSI stakeholders. The pattern of outcomes at the community and individual levels was distinctly different from that at the institutional level.
