monitoring. In addition, Voluntas conducted Key Informant Interviews with facility managers, AICS staff, INGO IPs, as well as
municipal authorities, for a comprehensive analysis of challenges, successes, and lessons learned, as well as the impact of the projects
and coordination with internal and external actors. For the seventh monitoring round, a total of 13 facility site visits, seven KIIs with IP
staff, two KIIs with municipal authorities, and one KII with two AICS staff members were conducted. Two additional KIIs for CfP 3,
Lot 5 were conducted in June 2022 to allow for anecdotal post-completion evidence in Murzuk and Sebha municipalities, under the
framework of the project “Hand in hand for a better health care in south-west” - 10/RSSDLIBYA/T05.437/2019 – Lot 5, implemented
by the Consortium CEFA/COSPE:

monthly sharing of key information and reporting documents. As agreed with the EU, Altai Consulting shared with AICS the monthly

followers are reported as of June 2022. The video stories and HIS (

offset by a good level of page views and sharing. All posts were also disseminated by AICS channels.

coordinated the production of n. 5 video-stories documenting the accomplishments and the impact of AICS and its partner INGOs

coverage of the municipalities of Al Quatrun and Sebha (INGO partner CEFA/COSPE), Sabratha, Sorman and Maya (INGO
