Business as Unusual: Changing the Approach to Monitoring OVC Programs Karen G. Fleischman Foreit, PhD Futures Group/MEASURE Evaluation

The Problem Community-based OVC programs are expected to produce comparable data to facility-based health programs, but without comparable physical infrastructure and human resources

The Premise The information that community workers need to do their jobs is not the same as what implementers need to report to donors or governments

The Challenge  Foster use of M&E by communities  Ensure that community volunteers are not overburdened with information collection  Minimize unrealistic expectations

The Alternative Semi-annual or annual cluster-sample surveys to monitor program performance

How do cluster-sample surveys work?  30 communities per program area  x respondents per community (e.g. 10, 19, 30)  Paid data collectors (could be para-social workers)  Mobile phone solutions for data transfer

Example from Tanzania Community Trace and Verify  Short (10-minute) survey of caretakers  Covers minimum package of services  LQAS sampling methodology  Pass-fail scoring
