Editor's Notes
- #3: Welcome. By the end of this presentation you will be able to: Define evaluation Describe the role, process and timing of an evaluation
- #5: Step 6 is the evaluation phase of a project plan. It is the end stage of the planning cycle. Step 6 activities must also be planned at the beginning of the project.
- #6: Evaluation is defined as a scientifically rigorous critical assessment of the degree to which health services fulfil stated objectives. In other words, evaluation is a scientific approach that measures the change between before and after a programme, or project, is carried out.
- #7: It also takes into account any unexpected consequences of the programme.
- #8: Ideally, evaluations are planned at the very start of a programme, and resources for it are allocated and ring-fenced.
- #9: When should planners and managers evaluate? Ongoing: during the programme at the end of a pre-agreed period of time, often midway through, a programme Terminal: 6-12 months after a programme has been completed Ex-post evaluation: several years after the end of the programme when full impact should have been realised
- #10: Who does the evaluation? Evaluation is an activity that must be unbiased. It is best to recruit an external consultant or team to carry it out. Stakeholders (the community, eye care professionals and funders) may also be involved as support and source of direction / information for the evaluation.
- #11: How is an evaluation carried out? Terms of reference, or the scope of the evaluation, are agreed between the district and national coordinators and the external evaluators.
- #12: Data from all monitoring activities is made available to the evaluators who carry out what is known as a “desk evaluation” The evaluator will also collect data from community and outreach if needed
- #13: A report is compiled and shared with all stakeholders The next action plan takes the report’s recommendations on board.
- #14: In conclusion: An evaluation is needed to find out if a programme has been a success. It is also important for identifying scale up opportunities and necessary changes.
- #15: It must be done externally so that it is unbiased and must be shared with all partners Evaluation timings have to be planned for at the onset of a programme.
