It provides specific research design and methodology call approaches to be used to identify whether changes in outcomes can be attributed to the programevaluation plan
TRUE OR FALSE: dissemination channels can include written reports press releases and stories in the mass media and speaking eventsTRUE
how the information gathered will be storedNFORMATION DISSEMINATION AND USE
• Mechanism for reviewing and updating the monitoring and evaluation plan should also be included this is because changes in the program can and will affect the original plants for both monitoring and evaluationIMPLEMENTATION AND MECHANISM FOR UPDATE
What are the standards for a monitoring and evaluation plans?1. first it should serve the information needs of the intended users in practical ways 2. Second it should convey technically accurate information and should be realistic prudent diplomatic and frugal 3. And lastly the activities described in monitoring and evaluation plans should be conducted legally ethically and regards to those involved and affected by them
-key elements of monitoring and evaluation plans that depict the components of a project and the sequence of steps needed to achieve the desired outcomesM&E FRAMEWORKS
• it defines the relationship between factors key to implementation and delineate the internal and external elements that could affect its success so it is very crucial these are very crucial frameworks for understanding and analyzing how a program is supposed to workM&E FRAMEWORKS
TRUE OR FALSE: there is no perfect framework and no single framework is appropriate for all situationsTRUE
WHAT ARE THE M&E FRAMEWORKS?1. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK 2. RESULT FRAMEWORK 3. LOGIC MODEL
• It is sometimes called a research framework and is useful for identifying and illustrating the factors and relationships that influence the outcome of a program or intervention • Conceptual frameworks are typically shown as diagrams illustrating the linkages between the components of a program and the outcomes of interestCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
it is sometimes called study strategic frameworks or it is a diagram that direct causal relationships between the incremental results of the key activitiesRESULT FRAMEWORK
include an overall goal as the strategic objective and intermediate results.results framework
LOGIC MODEL five essential components :INPUT- resources invested in a program PROCESSES- activities carried out to achieve the programs objectives after processes OUTPUTS- the immediate results achieved at the program OUTCOMES- the set of short-term or intermediate results IMPACT- is the long-term effects of the program
-is a variable that measures one aspect of a program that is directly related to the program's objectives -is also measurement it measures the value of the change in meaningful units that can be compared to past and future units this is usually expressed as a percentage or a number -focuses on a single aspect of a program this aspect may be an input and output or an overarching objectiveINDICATOR
2 TYPES OF INDICATOR:• QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS are numeric and are presented as numbers or percentage • QUALITATIVE INDICATOR -descriptive observations and can be used to supplement the numbers and percentage
WHY ARE INDICATORS IMPORTANT?measure the specific resources that go into carrying out a project or program for example amount of funds allocated to the health sector annually • secondly indicators of outputs measure the immediate results obtained by the program • indicators of outcomes measure whether the outcome change in the desired direction and whether this change signifiers program success
CHALLENGES TO SELECTING INDICATORS:1. choosing indicator that the program activities cannot affect 2. CHOOSING AN INDICATOR THAT IS TOO VAGUE 3. SELECTING AN INDICATOR THAT RELIES ON UNAVAILABLE DATA
Is the overall utility of a data setDATA QUALITY
-systems are essential to track progress toward health objectives such as the united nations sustainable development goals and to support evidence-based decision-makingDATA QUALITY ASSESSMENT TOOLS
data quality assessments will focus on one or more dimensions of data quality such as:accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, confidentiality, precision and integrity.
is used for the monitoring of program coverage indicators based on a stratified simple random sample of a small number of geographical units per stratum also called a LOT - suitable for frequently conducted monitoring service on program coverage and other performance indicators in settings that do not require a high level of statistical precisionLOT QUALITY ASSURANCE SAMPLING
THE LOT QUALITY ASSESSMENT (LQAS) MEANS?• Service that employs LQAS can be used to provide data on health behaviors and health outcomes at the household level this data can then be compared to service-related and other data, so this day that can be also assessed at both provincial and sub-provincial such as in district levels
is the second version of the data quality audit tool initially developed for the HIV tuberculosis and malaria program is safe to which has been made more flexible and for self-use • it is designed to verify the quality of the data as the system that produces that data and develop action plans to improve bothTHE ROUTINE DATA QUALITY ASSESSMENT TOOL (RDQA)
-plan is a project management tool that illustrates how a project is expected to progress at a high level this implementation plan document identifies goals and objectives both short and long-term listDEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
key components that drive a successful implementation plan:1. define goals or objectives what do you want to accomplish the scope of these goals will depend on the size of your undertaking 2. schedule milestone while tax deadlines and project timelines will be formally set in the execution plan 3. allocate resources one of the core purposes of an implementation plan is to ensure that you have adequate resources such as time money and personnel to successfully execute 4.designate team member responsibilities to assign roles this doesn't necessarily mean you must define who will execute each individual task but we should create a general theme plan with overall roles 5. evaluate success in addition to defining your metrics for success decide how often you will evaluate your progress such as a monthly or quarterly review
-these are the processes and technologies for identifying understanding and correcting flaws and data that support effective information governance across operational business processes and decision makingDATA QUALITY TOOLS
critical functions such as for profiling parsing, standardization, cleansing matching enrichment, and monitoring.DATA QUALITY TOOLS
how data quality tools are used to address problems in data quality:1. PARSING AND STANDARDIZATION 2. GENERALIZE CLEANSING 3. MATCHING 4. PROFILLING 5. MONITORING 6. ENRICHMENT
- it is defined as a factor that causes a nonconformance and should be permanently eliminated through process improvement - is the core issue the highest-level cost that sets in motion the entire cause-and-effect reaction that ultimately leads to the problemROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

named after and told pareto this tool is also a philosophy that was the subject of a book called the 80/20 principle the secret to achieving more with less o the pareto analysis is used to organize a large number of a non-conformities and prioritize the quality problems based on the frequency of occurrence o the pareto chart presents each challenge in descending order from the highest rate to the lowest frequency.pareto analysis
it is to help identify potential causes of system failures before the failures occur it can also be used to evaluate the probability of the top event using analytical or statistical methods the calculation involves system quantitativeFault tree analysis
it is constructed by listing specific observed problems in or connected to a process and developing a chain of causes and effects that link the problems to potential sourcesCurrent reality tree
also called an easy cow a diagram to visually map the cause and effect this can help identify possible causes for a problem by encouraging us to follow categorical branch paths to potential causesfishbone diagram
it is a decision making that is Structured methodology for gathering information and prioritizing and evaluatingKepner-Tregoe tool
RPR problem diagnosisRPR’S stands for rapid problem resolution and it deals with diagnosing the causes of recurrent problems this process has three phases discover, investigate. and fix a. discover is when the team members gather data and analyze their findings b. investigate is a diagnostic plan that is created and the root cause is identified through careful analysis of the diagnostic data c. and the last one is fix, the problem is affixed and monitored to ensure that the proper root cause was identified
