We present a summative evaluation of an information program to prevent the HIV/AIDS implemented in Romania by a non-governmental organization between 2006 and 2009. The design and methodology of the program evaluation were done in respect of the second paradigm launched by Potter (2006) – interpretive approaches. The evaluation methodology includes the document analysis, observation, interviews and focus groups with beneficiary and stakeholders (Patton, 2001). The indicators used were: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability and replicability. The evaluation results show that the project was well structured, with a well thought methodology and design, which led to achieving all the proposed objectives. With regard to the
cost-efficiency of the programme, the recommendation is to replicate such programmes both at the national and at the international level.
Keywords: program evaluation, summative evaluation, interpretative approaches, HIV/AIDS, Romania
