Editor's Notes
- TAB 1: Home Page Measuring Success Toolkit provides guidance on how to plan, monitor, and evaluate health programs, through compilation of resources: Review of related terms and concepts Additional reading materials Practical examples in the form of tools and guides Links to relevant web sites and e-learning courses As explained in text, there are 4 ways that information has been arranged for accessing: 8 tabs across the top offering quick access to broad topics: what M&E can answer followed by specific resources categories 7 health program areas under “Resources by Health Topics” (General Health, HIV/AIDS+TB, Malaria, MCH, NTD, RH/FP, Water+Sanitation) (on right side) Search function (upper right corner) Site map (below search function on upper right)
- TAB 1: Home Page (bottom of this web page) In addition: just below on this Home Page are the 3 broad functional areas in health programming – planning, monitoring, evaluating. They are used to orient users to access resources. In this approach, under each of the 3 functional areas is a set of work considerations, each of which is linked to resources elsewhere within the toolkit For example, when planning a program — consider: what is the problem and why does it exist? framework for guiding program design sample M&E plan selection of program indicators plans for sharing and use of program data
- TAB 1: Home Page (back at the top of this web page) Few other features: Above “Quick Links” is “Google Translate” function – allows for instant translation into any one of 50 languages Above “Quick Links” is a widgit for bookmarking and sharing through social media Under “Quick Links” is glossary of related planning, M&E terms (right side) Under “Quick Links” is also found a 5-minute video tutorial Under “Quick Links” is link for communicating by email comments and suggestions
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer Short definition of monitoring and evaluation, along with characteristic aspects of each
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer (bottom of this web page) Graphically represented as the climbing of six steps (Deborah Rugg staircase) 2 steps for each of these 3 functional areas, color-coded (planning = red; monitoring = green, evaluation = yellow) Steps’ color scheme tied to color scheme of “tool-using” figure Each step defined by a question At bottom half of screen, link for each question brings you to new web page that helps to answer that question with text explanation and links to other sections of the toolkit
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer What is the problem and why does it exist? Previous and next buttons at bottom allow you to page through the six “step” questions
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer (bottom of this web page) Last link -- “Resources and Tools” – offers practical M&E guides and resources that are categorized under: Needs assessment Situation analysis/operations research M&E plans/performance monitoring plans Conducting evaluations Sustainability/scalability
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer (page link to “Needs Assessment”) “ Resources and Tools” – M&E guides and resources for: Needs assessment (partial example)
- TAB 3: Frameworks “ In this section” box with links to relevant section on this webpage Short definition of frameworks (“models”) Characteristic aspects of the 4 types of frameworks, along with graphic display of components Conceptual Results Logical Logic model
- TAB 3: Frameworks (bottom of this web page) At bottom of page, links to guides and examples of each framework type
- TAB 4: Indicators “ In this section” box with links to relevant section on this webpage Short definition, with differentiation of monitoring indicators versus evaluation indicators Characteristic aspects of the SMART indicators
- TAB 4: Indicators (bottom of this web page) Link to sample indicator reference sheet (at end of text, just before “General Health” links) Links to guides for indicators by 7 Health Topics
- TAB 5: Data Sources “ In this section” box with links to relevant section on this webpage Differentiation made between quantitative and qualitative data Common data collection methods: surveys, interviews, focus groups
- TAB 5: Data Sources (bottom of this web page) Links to web pages offering further explanations on data source issues: Common Data Sources, including service environment (RHIS; health facility surveys) data and population-level data (DHS, LQAS, census, epidemiologic surveillance, GIS, biomarker) Data Triangulation, use of different types of data to inform and add credibility M&E findings Ensuring Data Quality, through data auditing and data quality assurance approaches Ethical Guidelines when collecting personally sensitive information Last link -- “Resources and Tools” – offers practical M&E guides and resources that are categorized as shown in next slide
- TAB 5: Data Sources (page link to “Resources and Tools”) “ Resources and Tools” – Categories * Service environment data sources * Population-based data sources Common data sources * Lot quality assurance sampling * Qualitative data sources * Data triangulation Data triangulation * Data quality Ensuring data quality * Ethical considerations Ethical guidelines
- TAB 6: Study Designs for Evaluation “ In this section” box with links to relevant section on this webpage Explanation for need of evaluation Definition of summative evaluation (outcome, impact of intervention) and requirements to demonstrate causality Reference to three experimental designs of evaluation
- TAB 6: Study Designs for Evaluation (bottom of this web page) Links to web pages offering further explanations on evaluation administration issues: Types of evaluation designs Randomized experimental Quasi-experimental Non-experimental Sampling methods (random and non-random) “ Resources and Tools” – offers practical guides and resources that are categorized under: Study designs Sampling methods
