Summary of publication
This report presents an independent assessment of the SwimSafe Danang Drowning Prevention Program, which the Australian aid program funded as a pilot program from 2010 to 2012.
The evaluation found that SwimSafe Danang is a professionally managed program that has made good progress in achieving its immediate objectives. The SwimSafe model is potentially replicable in other similar locations of Vietnam and it uses an effective teaching methodology and curricula for survival swimming. However, sustainability and scale-up are major challenges, largely due to affordability issues. The impacts of the program also need to be more fully assessed.
