MONITORING & EVALUATION IN GLOBAL HEALTH

Logic Model Assignment

Instructions: You are a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer at an organization in Cambodia who has partnered with the Ministry of Health
to conduct a social marketing campaign to reduce iron deficiency anemia among secondary school girls by increasing iron-folic acid
supplementation. You are responsible for conducting ongoing monitoring and evaluation for this program. A baseline evaluation was
conducted and included a questionnaire that was administered to all 600 girls across the 5 target secondary schools. The evaluation
found that only 12% of the girls had any knowledge about anemia and the importance of IFA supplementation, and only 3% took IFA
supplements.

Review the statements in the text bank and place them in the appropriate location of the logic model.

Note: For educational purposes, this is an abridged logic model. In practice, there would be additional activities and outcomes in order to
achieve the goal.

Anemia is a serious public health concern. There
are several causes of anemia, one of which is
iron deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia can
impair physical growth and cognitive
development, cause decreased resistance to
infections, and adversely impact school
performance and work capacity.1,2 Adolescent
girls are particularly susceptible to iron
deficiency anemia due to factors such as the
hormonal changes and accelerated growth that
take place during adolescence, malnutrition,
and the onset of menstruation.3 In Southeast
Asia, more than 25% of adolescent girls are
reported to be anemic.1 In Cambodia, anemia is
highly prevalent, affecting 45% of women of
reproductive age.4 An evidence-based approach
to preventing iron deficient anemia is weekly
iron-folic acid supplementation.1,5
