| WHY THE PROGRAMME? |
| |
| Since Independence, India has initiated a number of well planned programmes and projects in health and family welfare sector. The experience however, point out that the programmes with excellent conceptualization and good intentions lagged behind in delivering desired/expected outputs. And more so is the case with the outcomes. This is often attributed to weak or ineffective monitoring, without which necessary corrective actions can’t be taken in time. Evaluations of programmes in general are carried out as an obligation to the funding organizations and seldom the findings find way to key programme managers for evidence based-decision making. On the other hand, health systems gather lot of data and the glut often clogs the system, remains unutilized and also affect significantly carrying out other functions by the health functionaries. |
| |
| Some states have developed excellent Management Information Systems (MIS). But the people associated with collection and analysis of data often look at the entire process as means of generating reports to be sent to higher ups. They seldom realize that the data collected by them is best used at their level for taking necessary corrective actions improving programme performance significantly. |
| |
| Presenting data in lucid, simple format is another area of concern. Bulky reports can mask the important points and issues, if not presented effectively. This is another deterrent in making effective use of data for result based programme management. |
| |
| OBJECTIVES |
| |
| The primary objective of the programme is to enhance the ability of the participants to use data effectively in programme monitoring and evaluation. It also addresses evidence based decision-making. |
