This fact sheet gives basic information about the importance of monitoring and evaluation and definitions about baseline data.  It also gives suggestions on how to collect baseline data and to conduct a health survey.

PCVs answer all questions the first three months. There are approx twelve topics. PCVs could do a topic a week, and if they really want to be fancy they could try to ask the questions in local language. During the IST, they make their presentation and turn in their written report. At that time they talk more about the framework and how they can collect baseline data and then practice using different tools (structured observations, interviews, focus groups, etc.).

Not specific to any sector, this PowerPoint provides information for Volunteers as to why baseline assessment is relevant to any project. Traditional practices of agro-forestry, the level of knowledge and actual use of agro-forestry technology.  

The purpose of this draft handbook is to assist Peace Corps Volunteers, their counterparts and members of their communities to better measure the results of their efforts (with a particular focus on malaria).  It is based on a workshop carried out in Burkina Faso in 2007. This handbook contains training session ideas, a detailed facilitator’s agenda as well as surveys (on malaria, HIV/AIDS, maternal care, and hygiene) and data collection tools designed and piloted by the participants of those workshops.

This is a PowerPoint that describes participatory diagnostic assessment and charts the sustainable community development process. This PowerPoint also prepares the PCTs to prepare to present this information at IST or early reconnect training.

This survey assesses levels of knowledge and behaviors to prevent malaria, including: what it is, how it is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and whether respondents take actions to prevent catching. This questionnaire was developed in collaboration with CDC/PMI to assess information on malaria transmission, prevention and treatment in order to identify potential gaps in services and to address those gaps.

This questionnaire targets mothers and caretakers in households. It includes all the key indicators under this area.
