Follow-up monitoring
In order to ensure effective project management (one of
CCISD’s strong points), all projects are required to produce
concrete, measurable results. In a process called “follow up
monitoring”, each result indicator is subject to regular
follow‑up according to an objective and precise data
collection method.
For instance: to assess the progress of the AIDS 3 Project,
five long term results (impact results), six middle course
results (operational results) and ten short term results
(output results) were defined by Project Managers. Close to
40 indicators were planned to monitor progress on a
half-yearly or yearly basis. Measurement means included
periodical surveys on customer satisfaction, on behavioral
change, or on STI/HIV prevalence in target communities, as
well as a continuous collection of population descriptor
variables (basic surveillance data). The evolution of this
data over the next few years will reveal the Project’s
progress relative to its’ ultimate goal: minimizing
STI/HIV-AIDS transmission in West Africa.
