3. Background
2008 UNAIDS MERG called for guidance
evaluating HIV prevention programs
Identified need for
Evaluation unified with M&E system (for decision
making)
Dynamic approach grounded in field realities
Workshop then Think Tank in 2009
2010 Guidance
Need for application and experience
Output: Develop evaluation plans

monitoring and evaluation
Adapted from Operational Guidelines for Monitoring
and Evaluation of HIV Programmes for Sex Workers,
Men who have sex with Men, and Transgender
People.
7. Applying approach in different
contexts
Rwanda Ghana
MDG 6 goal 2011 NSP with clear
3 target groups MARP strategy and Op
Plan
M/Eval TA (field
funding) to M&E plan Major implementer and
and mid-NSP review GAC increasing central
guidance
Multiple programs
and partners Less M&E Plan
coordination and depends
on in-country processes
8. Steps in Rwanda and Ghana
In-country orientation to approach
Map M&E activities to staircase
Develop program logic model
Articulate major research questions, information
needs, decisions needed
Identify gaps in indicators & data sources
Dependent on country M&E processes
Write evaluation plan
M/Eval output
Assign R&R, obtain funding and carry out evaluation
10. Lessons learned
Need strong national coordinating body
committed to evidence based programming and
M&E and evaluation (country owned, led)
This is a new way of thinking
How M&E pieces fit together
Plausibility evaluation
Not “being evaluated” but info to improve national
program
11. Next steps
Finalize research questions and decision needs
Data mapping workshop (Rw)
Write evaluation plan
Will someone fund it? Will partners work together
to carry it out?
12. MEASURE Evaluation is funded by the U.S. Agency for
International Development and is implemented by the
Carolina Population Center at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill in partnership with Futures Group
International, ICF Macro, John Snow, Inc., Management
Sciences for Health, and Tulane University. The views
expressed in this presentation do not necessarily reflect
the views of USAID or the United States Government.
13. Discussion questions
Would this approach have potential to be applied
in other countries?
How does it complement and build on other
activities in our portfolio?
Does it contribute to building “Evaluation oriented
M&E systems”?
