The Independent evaluation will assess how far the outputs of the portfolio of Fleming Fund country and regional grants, and the Fleming Fellowships will contribute to the outcomes and impact identified by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). Six specific evaluation questions, were agreed during the inception phase for the evaluation.

In answering the 6 set evaluation questions, the evaluation is intended to meet two objectives: 1. in 2019, the evaluation will generate learning to inform course correction and adaptation in the present phase of support; 2. in late 2020, the evaluation’s focus will shift to providing an independent summative judgement of the fund’s results and achievements.

Projects funded through Fleming Fund will benefit people in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of drug resistant infection is greater.
