Overview
The evaluation aims to identify areas for learning and improvement and the outcomes of PATH-SAFE that improve surveillance infrastructure.
There are three main objectives of the evaluation:
- design and framing: to design a table of change (ToC) for the programme, articulating the change that is intended to be achieved by PATH-SAFE - this includes outlining assumptions, external factors and managing risks associated with the programme
- formative process evaluation: to utilise bespoke evaluation methods for assessing the processes underpinning the programme, and delivering the outputs of the four workstreams to identify areas for learning and improvement
- understanding impact: to identify and prioritise outcome indicators and data sources to validate the outcomes of the ToC and develop an assessment of PATH-SAFE’s contribution
