Programmatic surveys

Coverage evaluation surveys

Coverage evaluation surveys help to evaluate the reach and performance of treatment campaigns to make sure every targeted person has equal and continued access to treatment for parasitic worms. The MoH or independent research institution conducts questionnaires door-to-door to assess if people were offered and took the treatment, and to gain perspective of people’s knowledge and awareness of parasitic worms and their treatment.

Social assessments

We have designed in-depth social assessments to identify and understand barriers to the uptake of treatment against parasitic worms which can be used to develop context-specific and culturally appropriate behaviour change interventions. Activities can include:

• Assessing knowledge, understanding, and attitudes about treatment campaigns in communities receiving the treatments
• Assessing the reach, quality, and impact of social mobilisation and sensitisation strategies adopted by local programmes
• Piloting and evaluating evidence based behavioural change interventions through innovative research projects

Data quality assessment

Data quality assessments allow MoH to investigate the accuracy and robustness of data reporting systems from a community to central government. They can highlight areas that need improvement and ensure treatment reports are timely and accurate.

Our monitoring and evaluation processes allow for rapid and meaningful adaptations to control programmes. Our goal is to ensure that programmes continue to have the highest impact possible and are conducted according to the best practice standards in public health.
