  1. Key Terms forMonitoring and Evaluation

  2. Objectives • Explain the difference between monitoring and evaluation. • Introduce the most common M&E terms. • Review examples of each term.

  3. Monitoring versus Evaluation Evaluation Data collected to answer specific questions Periodic Focus on outcome, impact How effective were our activities? Monitoring • Data collected on program activities • Ongoing, routine • Focus on activities and output, compared to target Are we doing the work we planned?

  4. Monitoring or Evaluation? • Local researchers conduct a study to determine if there are more people with possible TB symptoms coming to DOTS clinics as a result of a media campaign to promote TB screening. Evaluation

  5. Monitoring or Evaluation? • A district manager reports on how many nurses were trained on interpersonal communication skills for her quarterly donor report. Monitoring

  6. It Starts with QUESTIONS • Monitoring and evaluation answer different questions. • If we do not ask good questions about our activities, we will not get useful data!

  7. What is a GOAL? • The ultimate result of efforts at a broad, population level. • Achieved over the long term (years) and through combined efforts of multiple programs (not always related to ACSM). • Decrease morbidity and mortality due to TB in Country X. • Reduce prevalence of TB by 50%. • Eliminate stigma of TB in our communities.

  8. What is an OBJECTIVE? OBJECTIVES GOALACSM activities • How the results of your short-term program activities contribute to the big goal. • Several objectives can relate to the same goal. • Link between ACSM activities and the NTP.

  9. Objective Examples • Aggressively advocate to increase NTP budget by 8% each year for the next four years. • Double the percentage of secondary school students who can correctly identify TB symptoms by 2015. • Design and pilot a treatment support program for newly released prisoners with TB by 2015.

  10. INPUTS • Resources needed to plan and implement ACSM • “Raw materials” of an ACSM project Examples • Money • Staff • Policies, guidelines • Equipment • Partners

  11. ACTIVITIES • The work that we do, what we implement • Also called “processes” Examples • Training events • Meetings • Events • Outreach • Home visits

  12. OUTPUTS • Immediate results of activities • What we can measure/count right after the activity Examples • Number of people trained • Number of brochures produced • Number of policymakers reached with advocacy activity

  13. OUTCOMES • “Ripple effects” of ACSM activities • What changesafter outputs are produced Examples • Increased funding for TB after lobbying meeting • Short: Improved attitudes toward TB patients among DOTS nurses after a training • Medium: Increased satisfaction of TB clients • Long: TB clients stay in treatment longer

  14. INDICATORS • How we define our activities, outputs, or outcomes • Signs or evidence we watch for to see if we have reached them

  15. The Crow and the Pitcher

  16. IMPACT • More related to goal • Very broad-scale result over long term Examples • Higher rate of treatment success • Reduction in deaths among MDR-TB patients
