Monitoring & Evaluation
The University of California, San Francisco, is a center of excellence for evaluation science. We provide guidance and services to develop, implement, and test evaluation information systems. Training and technical assistance in monitoring and evaluation (M & E) include effective use of data and strategic information for program planning and improvement.
Technical assistance in data-use activities includes:
- Assisting sites to develop data collection strategies, and training staff to collect and clean study data
- Ensuring high-quality datasets through local or remote database infrastructure
- Helping sites generate reports and translate results into strategic information
- Assisting in data analysis activities
- Helping program staff use data from key indicators that are collected routinely for program evaluation and improvement
- Assessing program needs for capacity in M & E and establishing flexible solutions for collecting, managing, analyzing, and returning information to country programs.
We offer M & E technical assistance workshops in data use, triangulation, antiretroviral therapy (ART) outcomes, patient monitoring systems, national evaluation agenda-setting, capacity assessment, public health evaluations, and cost-effectiveness assessments.
