As of 2020, there were an estimated 57 million people chronically infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) globally, with around 10% of these living in Pakistan. OCB has run an HCV project in Machar Colony Karachi since 2015. In 2020, the strategy for 2021-2024 was revised to build on the success and capitalize on earlier experience. This evaluation was conducted with the purpose to reflect and take stock of this revised strategic direction and the likelihood of its success within the given context.

This evaluation has a specific focus on lessons learned about the design and implementation of the school-based component of the Eshowe TB programme, conditions for success, enablers and challenges to identify considerations for replicability should MSF decide to implement a similar programme elsewhere in South Africa, or internationally.
