We assessed the success of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) curriculum designed to build capacity in three PEPFAR-supported countries. METHODS: We customized M&E trainings based on country-specific epidemic control priorities in Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Cameroon. The M&E curriculum included five modules and three evaluation activities to assess impact: (i) in-person pre-post confidence assessment surveys (CAS), (ii) in-person pre-post knowledge tests (PPKT), and (iii) electronic 6-12 months post-training translating knowledge into practice (TKP) surveys. Pre- and post-training results were compared within and across countries and triangulation with the qualitative data evaluated overall success. RESULTS: Among 188 participants attending M&E trainings, 154 (82 %) responded to CAS and 165 (88 %) participants from Ethiopia and Cameroon completed PPKT. Overall CAS scores between pre- and post-test improved [Score mean difference:1.5-1.9]. PPKT indicated statistically significant knowledge gained. One out of five TKP respondents provided direct application examples from the M&E training. CONCLUSION: While feedback was predominantly positive overall, revisions were recommended for three of the five modules. Developing a customizable and adaptable M&E curriculum may sustain countries' ability to monitor their progress towards epidemic control. |
