Monitoring and evaluation of the projects and programmes implemented by AIMAS covers both outcomes and the delivery of interventions, using clearly defined indicators.<\/p>\n

The monitoring and evaluation plan is revised according to identified needs. It frames the M&E process by describing the main indicators, the data to be collected, collection frequency and the people responsible, as well as the collection method. It also sets out the data flow and reporting system.<\/p>\n

Data collected for monitoring and evaluation<\/h2>\n

Two main types of data are collected to monitor and evaluate projects and programmes: routine data and study data.<\/p><\/div>\n

Routine data<\/h3>\n

Based on the main indicators, routine activity data are collected monthly and quarterly using specific collection forms and activity reports completed by staff in the various AIMAS departments. These data are compiled quarterly by the M&E officer to report on the main process indicators in the M&E plan.<\/p><\/div>\n

Study data<\/h3>\n

To design appropriate communication strategies and track the effects of project and programme interventions, AIMAS commissions quantitative studies. Baseline studies are carried out at the start of projects and programmes to obtain baseline values for outcome indicators. At the end of these projects and programmes, the same studies are repeated to measure the effects achieved. These are generally TRaC (Tracking Results Continuously) and MAP (Measuring Access and Performance) studies.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

TRaC studies measure behaviours relating to HIV, family planning, malaria and diarrhoeal diseases, and also provide information on socio-demographic characteristics and on the opportunity, ability and motivation (OAM) factors behind these behaviours.<\/p>\n

MAP studies measure product availability in four ways: coverage, access, equity of access and quality of coverage.<\/p>\n

Alongside these quantitative studies, qualitative studies are conducted to provide information on topics such as communication strategies and product packaging design.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n\n
