Monitoring Evaluation
Monitoring Evaluation
What is Monitoring?
Monitoring is the routine assessment (e.g. daily/monthly/ quarterly) of information or indicators of ongoing activities
Why Monitor
Monitoring tracks progress toward the set program targets or performance standards identifes aspects of the program that are working according to plan and those that are in need of midcourse corrections so that timely improvements or changes can be made
What is Evaluation?
Evaluation refers to the measurement of how much things have changed because of the intervention(s) implemented.
Why Evaluate
Because there are many factors that cause things to change, a formal evaluation tries to demonstrate how much a specific intervention contributed to the change.
Definition of M & E
A management tool that is built around a formal process for measuring performance and impact using indicators that help measure progress toward achieving intermediate targets or goals. Monitoring systems comprise procedural arrangements for data collection, analysis and reporting.
Purpose of M & E
To determine how program funds are being spent To determine if programs are being implemented as planned To determine what the effects are on public health To determine if programmes need to be changed to be more effective and Provide reasons for success or failure
Indicators
Indicator: A value on a scale of measurement (a number, %,ratio, fraction) derived from a series of observed facts that reveal relative changes as a function of time. Eg. In 2000 there were no ARV available; In 2005 5% of known HIV infected persons are on ARVs
Understanding Indicators
Definition Rationale Numerator Denominator Measurement Strengths and limitations
Definition
Number and percentage of CSOs trained in HIV/AIDS prevention among youth 15-24 (prevention approach may vary depending on CSO eg church, SLPPA)
Rationale
NAP reliant on CSOs to reach subgroup populations
Important to assess CSO resources available to address prevention Knowledge and approval of CSOs activity in terms of prevention Are CSOs meeting the needs of the populations concerned
What is measured
This indicator quantifies
1. CSOs with human resources that are trained in HIV prevention and/or 2. CSOs that provide prevention services
Numerator/Denominator
Number of CSO workers trained or retrained in prevention methods Total number of CSO workers identified as able to provide prevention methods
Strength
This indicator tracks the number of CSOs trained for prevention of HIV infection. It attempts to document increasing capacity to deliver preventative interventions
Limitation
No conclusions should be drawn regarding quality because this is affected by practices employed rather than the existence of trained personnel
Indicator Examples
% HIV patients on ARV 2000 - 0% In 2005 - 5% In 2008 - 20% = improvement Reported HIV cases in new born 2000 - 2 2005 - 26= stop and review 2008 41= programme failure
M & E of CSOs
Unique as M & E is done on an individual basis Maybe ongoing or one time Results are usually reflected in surveys or records
Active M & E
Examination of each module to select indicator (eg CSOs, PMTCT, OVC, TC, Blood safety) Data elements selected from indicator eg
# Females 15-24 on ARV Sex, age, treatment
Program Start
Time
Program End
