Evaluation of District-Level Primary Health Care Implementation in Low-and Middle-income Settings

3 Credits.

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.
