An independent programme evaluation has been conducted, alongside the programme conduct.

1. 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
