DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A POLICY
FRAMEWORK FOR MONITORING AND
EVALUATING HEALTHCARE PROJECTS-THE
CASE FOR KENYA RED CROSS SOCIETY
WYCLIFF MARIGA OMBUKI
UNITID FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
TRACK: HEALTH ECONOMICS
SECOND COHORT
Introduction
• Monitoring and evaluation is a critical component of project
design and implementation. This policy framework provides
analysts with a practical step-by-step guide to prepare and
carry out benchmarking and impact analyses of projects. The
audience is policy makers, and project staff mainly in the
research, implementation or strategic departments .
• It is assumed that a policy maker intends to deliver the best
value for money to citizens and therefore has to select
projects based on robust quantitative evaluations. Analytical
tools are presented solidly grounded in economic theory all
while focusing on the practical questions of evaluations.
Problem statement
• KRCS spends a colossal amount of money to hire
consultants to conduct data collection, analyze the data
and prepare reports which are largely contradicting, are
not based on progress reports or baseline survey and are
therefore questionable as tools for decision making.
There is need to develop a comprehensive policy
framework on monitoring and evaluation of health
projects that will involve internal mechanism for
consistent data collection, analysis and presentation of
data for information and decision making.
Objectives of the project
a) measure and report program performance and
progress provide evaluation feedback
b) to improve planning and management decisions
identify and
c) help answer critical uncertainties, linking
monitoring and evaluation to the research activities
of the program
