Are you interested in developing evaluation plans for primary health care programs in middle or low-resource settings? Are you interested in plans that can be used to assess implementation at the district level? Through this course you can take advantage of years of experience helping program implementers design evaluations and learn simple steps that guide you through this process. Prepares students to analyze local contexts and project implementation designs in order to develop evaluation plans that can be practically applied to programs in middle and low-resource settings. Discusses actual experiences of helping implementers design evaluations for district level programs, taking into consideration time and budget limitations. Focuses on developing pre-post evaluation plans that measure adequacy of implementation, based on evaluation conceptual frameworks, following theory of change logic. Explores choosing the proper evaluation methodology (i.e. Qualitative and/or Quantitative). Includes choosing appropriate indicators based on internationally accepted primary health care indicators. Explores alternatives for addressing mortality measurement.
