Editor's Notes
- TAB 1: Home Page Measuring Success Toolkit provides guidance on how to plan, monitor, and evaluate health programs, through compilation of resources: Review of related terms and concepts Additional reading materials Practical examples in the form of tools and guides Links to relevant web sites and e-learning courses As explained in text, there are 4 ways that information has been arranged for accessing: 8 tabs across the top offering quick access to broad topics: what M&E can answer followed by specific resources categories 7 health program areas under “Resources by Health Topics” (General Health, HIV/AIDS+TB, Malaria, MCH, NTD, RH/FP, Water+Sanitation) (on right side) Search function (upper right corner) Site map (below search function on upper right)
- TAB 1: Home Page (bottom of this web page) In addition: just below on this Home Page are the 3 broad functional areas in health programming – planning, monitoring, evaluating. They are used to orient users to access resources. In this approach, under each of the 3 functional areas is a set of work considerations, each of which is linked to resources elsewhere within the toolkit For example, when planning a program — consider: what is the problem and why does it exist? framework for guiding program design sample M&E plan selection of program indicators plans for sharing and use of program data
- TAB 1: Home Page (back at the top of this web page) Few other features: Above “Quick Links” is “Google Translate” function – allows for instant translation into any one of 50 languages Above “Quick Links” is a widgit for bookmarking and sharing through social media Under “Quick Links” is glossary of related planning, M&E terms (right side) Under “Quick Links” is also found a 5-minute video tutorial Under “Quick Links” is link for communicating by email comments and suggestions
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer Short definition of monitoring and evaluation, along with characteristic aspects of each
- TAB 2: What M&E can Answer (bottom of this web page) Graphically represented as the climbing of six steps (Deborah Rugg staircase) 2 steps for each of these 3 functional areas, color-coded (planning = red; monitoring = green, evaluation = yellow) Steps’ color scheme tied to color scheme of “tool-using” figure Each step defined by a question At bottom half of screen, link for each question brings you to new web page that helps to answer that question with text explanation and links to other sections of the toolkit
