Quantitative Monitoring of Qualitative Data: Empowering Communities and Informing Programmes
•
0 likes•1,096 views
This document discusses quantitative monitoring of qualitative data to empower communities and inform programs. It describes using participatory tools to quantify qualitative data through scoring on scenario scales. This allows communities to understand results and programs to aggregate data and compare performances. An example involves scoring latrine usage on a scale from 0 to 10. Peer review of scales ensures agreed-upon, objective measures to assess program performance over time through mixed participatory and survey methods. More information is available at an upcoming training session.

The use of Hygiene Index in measuring Hygiene Behaviour Change in Zimbabwe
The document discusses using a Hygiene Index to measure behavior change in hygiene practices in Zimbabwe. It describes implementing integrated hygiene promotion activities through health clubs, community facilitators, and local leadership. A PHHE Index tool was developed to assess hygiene practices in homes using a scoring system to classify hygiene levels. Over 2300 people were followed every 6 months. Results found that communities can effectively monitor themselves, certain unhealthy behaviors were common, distance to water was prioritized over quality, and significant impact on adoption of healthier behaviors and reduction of diseases was revealed.
Using FOAMS: A look at hygiene promotion in the Pacific
The document discusses using the FOAMS framework to promote effective hygiene practices in various Pacific countries. FOAMS stands for Focus, Opportunity, Ability, Motivation, and Sustained behavior change. Several hygiene promotion projects are analyzed using this framework, with a focus on handwashing practices. Key lessons discussed include understanding audience motivations beyond just health, piloting different messaging materials, training teachers, allocating sufficient time and budgets, and evaluating whether behavior change is sustained long-term through monitoring and evaluation. The document emphasizes applying a structured approach like FOAMS and addressing all elements to achieve successful hygiene promotion outcomes.

Hygiene promotion at scale and working with the private sector
This document discusses hygiene promotion through public-private partnerships in Indonesia. It outlines the benefits private sector partnerships can provide, including marketing expertise, media channels, and resources. It also discusses establishing common hygiene promotion messages and logos, as well as rules for engagement. The private sector is able to disseminate hygiene messages through their existing channels like product packaging, TV ads, and locations they service. Over time, Indonesia has evolved its hygiene promotion from donor projects to establishing PPP guidelines and integrating hygiene awareness into large scale government programs. Monitoring behavior change at a national scale presents an ongoing challenge.
Planning Behaviour Change: Chances and Challenges
This document discusses planning for sustainable behavior change in hygiene practices. It notes that hygiene improvements like promoting handwashing are extremely cost-effective public health interventions. However, impacts on health require a critical mass of people adopting good practices. The document introduces the FOAMS planning tool - focusing on identifying the key practices to promote, groups to target, opportunities and abilities for people to adopt practices, their motivations, and sustaining practices long-term. It emphasizes the importance of formative research to understand these factors and plan effective behavior change programs tailored to different communities.

Working Effectively with Women and Men to Improve the Sustainability of WASH...International WaterCentre
This presentation discusses research on gender outcomes of WASH programs in the Pacific. It found that although the programs focused on water, sanitation and hygiene, they had unintended gender outcomes - both positive like women gaining respect and a voice, and negative like increased workloads. The presentation argues that considering gender and including women and men can lead to more sustainable outcomes, gender equality, and empowerment. It provides principles and tools to facilitate participation, inclusion, and address gender in a constructive way to influence positive gender outcomes and sustainability.Keynote -- Obregon

Child Survival & Health Grants_ Jenn Wiess_10.14.11
The KabehoMwana consortium implemented child survival programs in Rwanda from 2007-2011, covering 20% of the country. It was a partnership between Concern Worldwide, the International Rescue Committee, and World Relief to reduce child mortality. Each agency led programs in two districts with technical support from other members. The consortium approach strengthened implementation through shared resources, learning, advocacy, and expanded scale. However, individual agency visibility decreased over the branded program. Maintaining principles like transparency, communication and respect between diverse partners was key to success but also challenging.

SBCC Framework
SBCC is a multi-step process that uses a socio-ecological model to identify the tipping point for change and operates through three key strategies: advocacy, social mobilization, and behavior change communication. It involves understanding the context through situation and communication analysis, designing communication strategies, creating interventions and materials, implementation and monitoring, and evaluation and replanning for sustainability.
Carolyn brennan blackpool conference feb 13
This document summarizes a health self-assessment process for people with learning disabilities in the North West region of England. It identifies four key targets: ensuring annual person-centered reviews, equal access to health services, safety for those using health services, and developing local services. The assessment found some areas had improved in meeting these targets through actions like increased involvement of advocates and carers, access tools for hospitals, and establishing transition teams. However, the region maintained an overall "amber" rating, indicating more work is still needed. Next steps include all areas developing action plans and considering a joint health and social care self-assessment for the future.
Final SIHLE Powerpoint
The SIHLE program evaluated a curriculum to reduce HIV/AIDS, STIs, and teenage pregnancy among minority girls ages 14-18. 13 girls participated in 4 sessions conducted by facilitators at their high school. Facilitators educated participants on HIV/AIDS, STIs, and contraception. Pre- and post-evaluation surveys found that 3 of the 4 objectives were achieved, including increased knowledge of pregnancy and STI risk prevention, but there was no improvement in attitudes supportive of consistent condom use. The evaluation recommends reevaluating the curriculum or improving facilitator recruitment.

The document summarizes a case study of rural water supply in Timor-Leste. It describes the rehabilitation of a water system serving over 11,000 people across 18 villages from two ethnic groups. While the rehabilitation was completed in 2006, issues remain regarding clear roles for operation and maintenance, financial management, and regulation. Additionally, there is a need for catchment protection, accounting for productive water uses, and a holistic approach that considers customary water management practices. External support is still required to address these challenges and improve long-term sustainability.“Big Bang” Decentralization ?

Decentralisation of rural water
This document discusses decentralization of rural water services in various countries. It finds that while all countries have undergone or are undergoing decentralization processes, progress has been mixed, with some experiencing only "paper reforms" that fail to provide local governments with the capacity or resources to take over responsibilities. Success in rural water sectors appears linked to broader public sector reforms, including stable fiscal flows to local governments and clear definition of roles. However, local governments often still lack skills and resources to fully support water service delivery life cycles. The process of decentralization takes many decades even in developed countries.
New approaches required for sustainable WASH services in emerging small towns
New approaches required for sustainable WASH services in emerging small townsInternational WaterCentre
This document discusses emerging small towns and the need for new approaches to sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. It notes that small towns, defined as having populations between 5,000-50,000 people, are growing rapidly in number and size but often lack formal WASH services. Conventional urban and rural approaches do not meet the unique characteristics of small towns. The research found that small towns require tailored solutions and support through broader town-wide development planning, defined generic factors at national and sub-national levels, and a menu of context-appropriate technical, financial and management options.Part-time job or Volunteerism?

Selling sanitation in Cambodia
This document discusses sanitation marketing in Cambodia. It notes that 85% of Cambodia's population lives rurally, and only 23% of rural households have access to improved sanitation. Most households that do have latrines purchased them privately from local suppliers.

It describes WaterSHED's 4-pronged approach to sanitation marketing in Cambodia, which works with suppliers, consumers, government, and financial institutions. The key component is the WASH-M program which connects latrine suppliers to sales agents and consumers through a "hands-off" value chain model to make affordable sanitation options more accessible.

This document discusses a case study on WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and gender dynamics in Bedouin communities in Israel, Jordan and the West Bank. It outlines the study which analyzed four Bedouin villages - two in Israel, one in Jordan, and one in the West Bank. The analysis found that WASH initiatives and gender empowerment efforts in these communities must consider both immediate needs as well as long term, sustainable solutions that build local capacity. Future research is still needed to better understand the synergies between improving gender equality and access to water and sanitation.Ongoing performance and best practices of Decentralised Wastewater Treatment ...
Ongoing performance and best practices of Decentralised Wastewater Treatment ...International WaterCentre
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) provide benefits for sanitation in rapidly urbanizing Kathmandu, Nepal, where centralized treatment is lacking. Existing DEWATS successfully treat wastewater from offices, hospitals, private houses, schools, and communities with locally available materials and low operation skills. Key design improvements include larger inlet chambers, channel inlets instead of pipes, and easier access for sludge removal. Proper construction, regular maintenance, and pre-determined management and funding are essential for long-term system performance and cost-effectiveness. DEWATS show potential as a sustainable sanitation option, but most cost-effective designs and media require further study.Institutional aspects of slum sanitation: implication of multiple actors
This document summarizes a study on institutional challenges around slum sanitation in Kampala, Uganda. It finds:
1) Sanitation governance is fragmented among different ministries, with no single entity considering it a core mandate.
2) There is a lack of a clear institutional framework for engaging the private sector or delineating public and private roles in slum sanitation.
3) Interventions by multiple actors involved in slum sanitation are not well-coordinated or harmonized.
Introduction – Working with ‘buckets of money’
Small indigenous communities receive funding for essential services and infrastructure from various government grants and programs, commonly referred to as "buckets of money". These buckets of money provide one-off funding for infrastructure but do not cover ongoing operational and maintenance costs. As a result, infrastructure projects focus on capital-intensive but maintenance-light technologies that require specialized repair and often become disposable rather than using local management and labor. This approach has failed to consider the local economic and social context and has not supported sustainable community management of infrastructure over the long term. Moving forward, funding models should prioritize routine local maintenance and take a more holistic approach that incorporates social and economic realities.

Labor Markets Core Course 2013: Monitoring and evaluation
Labor Markets Core Course 2013: Monitoring and evaluation Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank
Monitoring and evaluation are important for public works programs to demonstrate results and accountability. Key goals include measuring income gains for workers and their households, skills acquired, and the utility of projects created. Evaluations assess processes, targeting, and impacts using descriptive, normative, and causal methods. Impact evaluations estimate net program effects using control or comparison groups to determine what outcomes would have been in the absence of the program. Careful planning is needed to identify valid comparison groups and measure appropriate indicators at different points over time.How to Assess and Continuously Improve Maturity of Health Information Systems...

Monitoring process
Process monitoring falls under program evaluation and assesses how program activities are implemented. It involves regularly tracking implementation through methods like reviewing reports and field observations. Process monitoring aims to improve efficiency and inform reprogramming. It answers questions about what is being done, by whom, for whom, how, when, and where. The information collected through process monitoring can then be used by managers, donors, governments, and communities to improve implementation and inform future programs. A successful process monitoring framework involves determining the purpose and uses of monitoring, developing measurable objectives, evaluation questions, collecting credible evidence, analyzing the information, and reporting findings.
INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT..ppt
This document discusses planning, monitoring, and evaluating health services. It defines monitoring and evaluation as key functions to improve performance and determine whether programs are achieving their goals.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address

- 13. Quantify thru scores on scenario scales (scale SSH4A project supply chain development)
- 15. Add other performance parameters specific for SSH4A project – strengthen demand, strengthen supply, improve key practices, enhance local governance of improving S&H
- 16. Select objectively measurable indicators (incl. by proxy) to assess performance
- 17. Design, then peer review scales Session A3C Assessing Hygiene Behaviour Change
- 18. Another example of a SSH4A project scale: Session A3C Assessing Hygiene Behaviour Change
- 19. Peer review of the previous scoring scale From SSH4A project: latrine scored as 0 (not used as toilet, but to pocket the subsidy)
- 20. Resulted in agreed procedure / scales in a Performance Monitoring Instruction >> Assessment at three moments: at start (baseline), mid-way and at end of allocated project period Methods: mix of participatory assessment and survey (depends on country/ province/ district) Session A3C Assessing Hygiene Behaviour Change
