Objective: To describe the context of, types of and approaches to monitoring and evaluation and the stakeholders’ perceptions of Performance-based financing (PBF) in Cameroon.Methods: This research used secondary data, both qualitative and quantitative, from the PBF monitoring and evaluation plan, reports and documents, and information from 380 qualitative interviews of stakeholders. Data was analysed using a systematic process of triangulation of responses in tabular form to assess the contribution of PBF towards strengthening the national system of monitoring and evaluation. Descriptive statistics were presented in form of frequencies.Results: The context of decentralisation and results-based management put monitoring and evaluation at the centre of public policy actions. Performance is measured in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, equity, accountability and transparency. The expected effect of PBF is not to reinforce the monitoring and evaluation system but to increase its performance. In conception, the design of PBF relies on substantial efforts of systematic monitoring and evaluation that can strengthen the national health system. The PBF brought changes to all the organisational systems of the supply of health services according to the monitoring and evaluation objectives, which were aligned to those of the national health system and management health information. Stakeholders were positive about the resulting performance of the central tool for monitoring and evaluation of PBF.Conclusion: Several types of monitoring and evaluation are conducted in the implementation of the PBF scheme, showing great potential to strengthen the national system through the harmonisation and standardisation of indicators and norms at all levels of the national health system pyramid.

Background Establishment of a systematic way of measurement and utilization of indicators for improvement is one of the most challenging issues in monitoring and evaluation of indicators in healthcare settings. In realizing these fundamental challenges, we designed a monitoring and evaluation system incorporating a hospital-wide quality variance report (QVR) system using linked Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets on Microsoft SharePoint®. Methods Indicators were determined at the departmental/unit level in line with the institutional goals, departmental functions, quality expectations, inputs/outputs, clinical priorities, compliance to policies/procedures/protocols/guidelines/pathways as well as in response to gaps in service delivery picked during root cause analyses. The sample design was determined in accordance with the characteristics of the population. Drawing of sample units was done using a simple random sampling technique without replacement or systematic random sampling. The indicator’s monitoring was enhanced visually by allocating colour codes based on performance across the months and quarters. The action plan tab consisted of a platform that aids in documenting corrective actions arising from the performance reviews. Results and discussion The QVR reporting system ensured a standardized format of monitoring throughout the institution with a reduced turnaround time from data collection to analysis. Further, continuity of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system was guaranteed even if an individual left the institution.  The analysis of the QVR allowed hospital-wide trending on cross-cutting indicators with consequent ease of communication to multiple stakeholders.  The automation has saved time and increased accuracy which has enhanced credible engagements during quality meetings. Conclusions Use of this system greatly enhanced quality performance monitoring in the hospital, identification of major bottlenecks that warranted hospital-wide projects or departmental-level projects. The QVR system enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of quality monitoring from data collection through to performance reviews. The QVR structure allows for customized development of an M&E database application software.

Abstract Background: The Ethiopian government promulgated its first ever explicit, comprehensive and multisectoral population policy in 1993. The policy aimed at harmonizing population growth rate with that of the economy and the capacity of the country for sustainable socio-economic development. As with any population policy, there are important lessons to be learnt from the problems and challenges encountered during its implementation. Objective: The paper assesses the extent to which the population policy objectives have been realized; highlights the successes registered and identifies challenges encountered in its implementation and proposes the way forward. Methodology: Trend analysis using secondary data from censuses, surveys and UN sources were used and policy documents, research findings, development plan and program reports reviewed. Results: Fertility, infant, under-five and maternal mortality have declined significantly. Female participation in education and labour force increased. A range of legal, policy and institutional frameworks have been developed and implemented on environmental security and on gender equity, equality and the empowerment of women. Legislative measures were also taken to remove harmful traditional practices. However, the pace of implementation has been slow and there are areas where not much progress was made. Conclusion: Despite the progress made, there are critical challenges. Failure to establish the National Population Council; weak coordination and institutional arrangement due to absence of legally defined structure for implementation, lack of monitoring and evaluation system, absence of a comprehensive population program and financial constraints, among others are the major barriers. There is need to revise the policy and address these impediments and continuing and evolving challenges.

Background: Cirebon Regency is one of the priority areas that becomes the locus in efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting in 2018.Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between feeding parenting pattern with nutrient intake of under two-years infants and the relationship between nutritional behavior and clean and healthy lifestyle behavior (CHLB) with nutritional status of under two-years infants in Cirebon Regency.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design using secondary data from previous studies conducted at the same two locations in Cirebon Regency. The data processing was carried out in November to December 2019. The subjects involved were 70 mothers who had infants aged 0-24 months. Analysis of the relationship between variables using the Rank Spearman test.Results: The results of the correlation test showed that there was no significant relationship (p> 0.05) between feeding parenting pattern with nutritional intake. In addition, maternal nutritional behavior also did not have a significant relationship (p> 0.05) with nutritional status. This study found that there was a significant relationship between clean and healthy living behavior on the indicators of a smoke-free home environment with the nutritional status using HAZ index.Conclusion: Imbalance between knowledge and socio-economic factors of income can lead to inequality in the application of feeding parenting pattern, nutritional behavior, and CHLB to the nutritional status of under two years. Therefore, a continuous monitoring and evaluation system is needed to ensure that the stunting acceleration program runs effectively and efficiently.ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Kabupaten Cirebon merupakan salah satu daerah prioritas yang menjadi lokus dalam upaya percepatan penurunan stunting pada tahun 2018.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pola asuh makan dengan asupan zat gizi baduta serta hubungan antara perilaku gizi dan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat dengan status gizi baduta di Kabupaten Cirebon.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi cross-sectional dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari penelitian sebelumnya yang dilakukan pada dua lokasi yang sama di Kabupaten Cirebon. Proses pengolahan data dilakukan pada bulan November hingga Desember 2019. Subjek yang terlibat adalah 70 orang ibu baduta yang memiliki bayi berusia 0-24 bulan. Analisis hubungan antar variabel menggunakan uji Rank Spearman.Hasil: Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan (p >0,05) antara pola asuh makan dengan asupan zat gizi. Selain itu, perilaku gizi ibu juga tidak memilki hubungan yang signifikan (p>0,05) dengan status gizi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat pada indikator lingkungan rumah bebas asap rokok terhadap status gizi baduta.Kesimpulan: Ketidakseimbangan antara pengetahuan dengan faktor sosio-ekonomi penghasilan dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya ketimpangan dalam penerapan pola asuh makan, perilaku gizi, dan PHBS terhadap status gizi baduta. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sistem monitoring dan evaluasi secara kontinu untuk memastikan bahwa program percepatan stunting berjalan secara efektif dan efisien.

The paper aims to explore the implementation of performance monitoring and evaluation tools used in Botswana’s public service. The paper also identifies achievements and challenges of implementing performance monitoring and evaluation system and suggests ways for improvement. This paper uses secondary data sources. The paper reveals lack of performance monitoring and evaluation skills, poor supervision, poor conditions of service and a poor work ethic as some of the factors contributing to ineffective use of performance monitoring and evaluation tools in the service. Leadership commitment and support, benchmarking reforms, training and education, developed administrative and governance structures as well as well-defined public policy and program formulation and implementation processes are some of the success factors to enhanced performance management and evaluation systems in Botswana. The paper argues for adoption of a developmental-led model in order to enhance existing performance monitoring and evaluation system that would improve implementation of government policies and programs. Botswana has been striving to excel in service delivery through performance monitoring and evaluation oriented reforms.

Background: Evaluation findings are increasingly becoming valuable for policy makers in Kenya. The Directorate of Monitoring and Evaluation is responsible for providing reliable data findings for decision-makers. They are in turn expected to access the data and information through the National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (NIMES). Unfortunately, the directorate hardly receives timely data as required, thus is unable to make timely decision within the ministry of agriculture, livestock and irrigation in Kisumu County.Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the extent of operationalisation of NIMES through utilisation of the electronic project management information system (e-ProMIS) within the three agricultural departments.Methods: Through single-point face-to-face interviews using semi-structured questionnaires, mixed methods approach and Likert scale were applied to assess the level of operationalisation of, staff competences in, and satisfaction with NIMES. Both random and purposive sampling was used. Using mixed methods approach, primary and secondary data were collected from 10 key indicators and fitted in a binary logistic regression model to assess the level of operationalisation of NIMES.Results: This article shows that operationalisation of NIMES is unsatisfactory, and data collected are incorrectly formatted. None of the departmental personnel charged with uploading relevant data in e-ProMIS neither accessed nor utilised the platform. There were no champions supporting NIMES, thus no reports generated from the system.Conclusions: Factors hindering operationalisation of NIMES were: dysfunctional monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems, limited human capacity on M&E, lack of NIMES champions, limited availability of data, unclear information flow to decision makers and inadequate integration of NIMES in planning and budgeting.
