Suggestions by programme implementers | |
---|---|
RACD M&E tool overall | Create user manuals for district- and national-level programme staff for each module to provide more detail on the inputs required for data collection |
Enable translations for each template sheet to increase use of tool | |
Create automatic data analysis pages in each module for district-level monitoring | |
Develop macros in Excel to allow provincial- and national-level users to compile results across districts | |
Module 1: reviewing key documents | Create preset drop-downs with yes/no responses for inventory checklist items |
Module 2: assessing key malaria indicators | Reduce the number of data entry sheets from 3 (health facility reporting, case investigation and RACD) to 2 (health facility data, district level data) by combining case investigation and RACD into a single data collection sheet |
Simplify the district-level indicators sheet for case investigation and RACD by including all the indicators on a single data entry sheet, separate from the review pages | |
Create option for preset drop-down lists to make data entry quicker, and to maintain consistency in the spelling of district and province names | |
Add indicator for RACD screening coverage | |
Module 3: evaluating standard operating procedures | Develop questionnaire in open source platform or improve data analysis in current Excel template to make it easier |
Allow programme users to modify the questionnaire module to match programme activities and needs | |
Module 4: estimating the costs | Reduce the number of data entry sheets from 3 (Personnel, Commodities and Services and Other) to 2 (Personnel and Commodities, Services and Other) into a single data collection sheet. Include a drop-down list to identify the expense |
