The management of swabs, needles and instruments in the operating theatre is a high-risk and problem-prone area for the operating theatre nurse. The purpose of this research is to formulate specific standards on the management of swabs, needles and instruments in the operating theatre to ensure the safety of the patient. An exploratory and descriptive research design was used and executed in 3 hospitals of a private hospital group in Gauteng. A structured two phase process was followed, ie the development phase and the validation phase. This last phase was done by means of deliberate debate. It is recommended that these standards be implemented, tested and validated on a national basis and a monitoring and evaluation system should be developed to ensure nursing compliance with these standards.

A theory of change can build consensus on a program’s vision and guide the development of a right-fit monitoring and evaluation system. This case examines how the Uganda-based youth empowerment NGO Educate! used the theory of change process to clearly define its intended impact and decide how to measure it. After analyzing the process Educate! used to develop its theory of change, readers will be able to discuss the value of gathering internal perspectives and conducting field research to develop a theory of change. Readers will also assess how successive iterations of the theory of change provide clarity on program design and objectives and determine whether the final theory of change is sufficient to design a monitoring and evaluation plan that adheres to CART principles.

As aid interventions by nature are temporary, they will eventually be withdrawn. Reasons and circumstances of withdrawals vary since withdrawals can be part of a strategic approach to long-term sustainability, a change in organizational priorities, or a political decision made at a higher level. A growing international demand for effective and sustainable outcomes of aid programs emphasizes a proper exit and exit strategy. However, a successful exit takes a well-planned strategy at early stages of aid programs and significant amounts of resources. This study reviews approaches to exit and exit strategies at a program level, and common elements of a viable exit strategy including setting an exit timeline, establishing specific criteria and indicators, identifying key actors, and building a monitoring and evaluation system. These elements need to be guided by transparency, inclusion, predictability, obligation, and flexibility.

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.
