1. 1 Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)- an integral component of NRHM PIPs

2. Parameters of Health Care Awareness Available Accessible - equity Affordable Quality 2

6. Agreed Indicators … (3) Output Indicators from Mid & End-line Surveys The states are to set levels of achievement based on their own assessments. 1.

9. 9 M&E Activities:–(1) A - Surveys 3.1 Improve DLHS-3 (Mid-line Survey) to reflect Equity & Access 3.4 Equity Indicators for large national surveys like NFHS Actions & Current Status NFHS-III: Key results out, Detailed results in August, 2007 DLHS-III: Pilot Work to begin in July, 2007 Annual Health Survey (AHS) being conceived with the RGI District Health Profile

10. 10 M&E Activities:–(3) B. MIS 3.2 Guidelines for local data to prepare & monitor plans 3.5 CNAA Manual to be revised with field test 3.6 Simplified MIES proforma  

11. 11 3.7 Analytical reporting for outputs Actions & Current Status. • A web based information and communication system to be implemented in two phases. The first phase would essentially be a Bulletin Board for the NRHM/RCH. The second phase is to take care of the data ware housing requirement of MIES. • In-house software being developed for routine MIS reports M&E Activities:–(5) B. MIS

12. 12 3.9 Concurrent evaluation studies through common format Actions & Current Status Evaluation presently being done through RETs Max 168 (7x2x12) districts per annum Needs reinforcement and realignment PRCs undertake adhoc evaluation studies Several Institutions approached for Concurrent Evaluation of NRHM Workshop held in Feb, 2007 A Committee formed to evaluate the proposals Framework for Evaluation being worked out

13. 13 3.10 Quality Assurance Surveys Actions & Current Status Monitoring tools, check lists, operational manual for QA finalized Six States identified for piloting of QA and launched in December, 2006 - UP, Uttaranchal, West Bengal, Assam , Maharashtra, Karnataka (1 Dist each, 2 in UP) - Duration of QA piloting would be of 24 months

14. 14 3.11 Programme Management Reviews (Assessment of Management Capacity) Actions & Current Status Study by IIM-A completed and Tools prepared and circulated to States Based on feedback, the Tools were refined and up-scaled country-wide in January, 2007. Each State to canvas the Tool and report findings annually

15. 15 3.12 Community Monitoring & Triangulation Actions & Current Status Plan of action Experts on Community Monitoring approached for a Concept Note on Triangulation Based on the feedback from the experts, a Triangulation framework would be prepared and piloted

16. 16 3.3 Networking of MoHFW, and Associated Institutions for information sharing Actions & Current Status Roadmap for integration of IT resources to be drawn up (web-site revamping, security protocols etc) Reputed vendors are being approached for developing this network and for upgrading the website.

17. 17 3.8 District HQ to have H/W, S/W, Training Actions & Current Status State Govts requested to provide for funds for H/W, S/W and Training, Household Surveys, etc - in May & August, 2006 Proposals to emanate from State Govts through their PIPs M&E Div’n has sent a Template/Questionnaire to the States for analysing the State PIPs on their M&E initiatives. Template has now also been included in the Process Manual of the NRHM/RCH-II PIPs

19. 19 The ten Steps to building a performance – based M&E System Conducting a Readiness Assessment Identifying & agreeing on Performance Outcomes to Monitor and Evaluate Selecting Key Indicators to Monitor Outcomes Baseline Data on Indicators to Monitor Outcomes Planning for Improvement-Setting Realistic Targets A Monitoring and Evaluation System (HMIS, Web-based ???) The Role of Evaluation Reporting the Findings Using Own/Other’s Findings Sustaining the M&E System

20. 20 M&E Plan: MDG goals achievement plan Map information sources and flows Performance data – Monthly, Qtrly, Annual Surveys - NFHS, DLHS, NSSO, Other agencies Evaluation Studies – RET, PRC, NGOs, Communities Map M&E requirements Household surveys IT infrastructure mapping Hardware, Software, Network, HMIS application, People – existing skills vs training needs State, District, Blocks Printing of Registers at SC, PHC, CHC etc Map institutions (public & private) – by service, strength etc Address vulnerable groups in IDHAP Report on MIES format only Don’t change the reporting format Form 9 No longer required Plan for sustainability of M&E

21. 21 What we expect from the State Governments …(1) Prepare a State-Logical Framework Approach (LFA) on the lines of the National PIP to monitor the M&E Activities Reporting Monthly Performance data on Revised MIES format. Assess management capacity - Programme Management Tool Undertake Household Surveys – to be updated annually Revising and fresh printing of the primary registers from the Sub-centre level onwards – capture data for SC/ST Training of manpower on data collection, flow and relevance Upgrading/modifying the hardware and software for States having an HMIS. For States not having an HMIS efforts are to be made for establishing one The State Govts may revisit and revise their State PIPs to take the above aspects into consideration.

22. 22 What we expect from the State Governments …(2) Challenges Getting the primary registers from the Sub-centre level onwards in position to capture data for vulnerable groups Institutionalising the data flow mechanism for timley and quality data Leveraging the advances in IT for expediting data flow Capturing information from private sector Have an inclusive Distt Action Plan to cover M&E requirements at the Distt level and aggregated at State level

23. 23 Triangulation – an emerging concept
