It will also address whether the activity provided value for money, andpotential savings through different design, methodology, and resource allocation.Exclusions: The evaluation will not consider impact as it is too soon to assess programme impacts.The non-participating PlCs are largely excluded from the focus of this evaluation (apart from anassessment in relation to overall value for money) as the PPDVP has primarily focused on 5participating PlCs and assessments of the other 14 PlCs would require a more expensive and timeconsumingevaluation.Stakeholders:This programme has a large number of primary stakeholders who have been directly involved with,or benefitted from, the implementation of the project. These include the donor (MFAT); thecontract holder (NZ Police); PPDVP programme staff (including mentors); police services in each ofthe participating & linked countries, and the additional countries under Objective 1; and the PacificIslands Chiefs of Police; victims of domestic violence (note: these benefit primarily from theprogramme's outcomes rather than its activities).The programme also has a large number of secondaw stakeholders at national and regional levelwho have been involved or benefitted, less directly.
