Training on Health Monitoring and Evaluation Strategies for Systems Strengthening
Course Overview
Strong health systems rely on effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) to ensure that programs deliver quality services, improve population health, and achieve strategic goals. However, many health programs face challenges such as fragmented data systems, weak indicators, and limited use of evidence in decision-making. These gaps can reduce program efficiency and hinder progress toward public health targets.
This course on Health Monitoring and Evaluation Strategies for Systems Strengthening is designed to address these challenges by equipping participants with practical skills to design, implement, and manage M&E systems within health programs. Specifically, it focuses on strengthening the ability to measure program performance, assess outcomes, and support data-driven health system improvements.
Throughout the training, participants explore core M&E concepts within the health sector, including results-based management, logical frameworks, and health-specific performance indicators. They learn how to design M&E frameworks that align with national health strategies, global health priorities, and program objectives.
In addition, the course emphasizes effective data collection and management in health settings. Participants gain practical experience with both quantitative and qualitative methods, including health facility reporting systems, surveys, and routine data collection tools. At the same time, they learn how to ensure data quality, consistency, and ethical handling of sensitive health information.
Moreover, the training covers data analysis and interpretation techniques that transform health data into actionable insights. Participants learn how to track key indicators such as service coverage, quality of care, and health outcomes, and how to present findings through reports, dashboards, and policy briefs. This strengthens communication with stakeholders and supports informed decision-making.
Equally important, the course highlights the role of M&E in health systems strengthening. Participants explore how evaluation findings can inform policy reforms, improve service delivery, and enhance resource allocation. Real-world case studies and practical exercises provide hands-on experience in applying M&E strategies to complex health challenges.
By the end of the program, participants will be able to design comprehensive health M&E frameworks, collect and analyze data effectively, and use evidence to improve program performance and strengthen health systems.
