Monitoring and Evaluation
for TB Programs
Developing a Monitoring and
Evaluation Plan
Key M&E Plan Principles
• M&E Plan complements NTP M&E system
• The main purpose of the plan is to measure
implementation, progress, and
results/impact
• Plan is implemented by many actors
• It is usually a NATIONAL plan
• There are many ways to organize and
implement plan
Stepwise Approach to
TB M&E Plan
• Clear Goals and Objectives
• Development of Interventions
• Selection of Appropriate Indicators
• Data Collection, Analysis, and Use
• Data Dissemination

Elements of the Plan
• Source of data
• Person or entity who is responsible
• Refer to system checklist – can be useful to
identify sources of data and resources for
reporting
Key Data Use and Dissemination
Questions
• Who are the potential audiences or users of
results of our M&E plan?
• Which particular findings will be of most
interest to each potential audience or use?
• What are the best channels to reach each
potential audience or user?
Using Data for Decision-Making
• Improve performance and programming
• Advocate for policy changes
• Sustain resources for TB control
• Increase public awareness about TB
• Encourage communities to support TB patients
• Improve coordination among partners
• Provide lessons learned for in-country and
international programs
Data Dissemination
• Develop a strategy early.
• Answer the three questions in the previous
slide.
• Use as many media channels as appropriate.
• Be creative and innovative.
Conclusion
• Wealth of TB data exists at district/facility
• Standardized tools available for data
collection
• Compendium is a reference for
standardized indicators
• Ensure strategy for analyzing, using, and
disseminating data

Editor's Notes

  • #1 Synthesize everything that we have learned earlier this week– logic frameworks, indicator selection, data sources, etc… – end product is to draft an M&E plan for your country
  • #2 We will talk about M&E systems later on today.
  • #4 Consider using one of the group’s goals/objectives from Day One. We’ve seen this before but to reiterate, this is what we want as a final product
  • #5  Already covered first three columns during last two days, need to fill out the rest. Need to be as specific as possible – for individual NTP, often useful to put the person’s name.
