Hi, friend! There is an increasing expectation that we community and public health workers will plan and implement evaluations of small projects we provide, although external professionals undertake much of the program evaluation for our organization. Therefore, we also hope to build capacity for conducting evaluation within ourselves. I suppose it may help if we can find some similar examples to guide this plan. Do you have any suggestions? Besides the MEL framework.

Our pleasure.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Yes. I would recommend you this paper: . It is about an initiative, which seeks to increase the evaluation capability of individual workers and the capacity of the community and public health workforce in New Zealand. In New Zealand, the Ministry of Health has a focus on improving the knowledge and skills base of the public health workforce, including skills in evaluation and planning. For more than 10 years, it has funded evaluators located at the Centre for Social and Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation, Massey University to train and support this workforce in developing evaluation and related skills. This has included training workshops, consultancy services, and the development of several manuals on evaluation practice. Since 2007, this has been branded as Easy Evaluation and is the largest investment in evaluation training in New Zealand.
