Monitoring
Standard Days Method Services
The provision of the Standard Days Method (SDM)
has been closely monitored in all countries where
services have been implemented. Many programs
have introduced the method through operations
research studies designed to assess and evaluate
service delivery strategies.
Close monitoring and evaluation are critical
to improve SDM services and ensure their sustainability.
The Institute has developed the following tools
to monitor service delivery:
Knowledge
Improvement Tool (KIT) - To be administered
individually by a supervisor or trainer, it
evaluates provider competences in SDM provision.
The information collected identifies concepts
that need reinforcement and allows for adjustments
in trainings to help meet specific provider
needs.
Site Assessment Tool: A rapid
analysis that evaluates the status of SDM integration
in programs with respects to training resources,
method accessibility, inclusion in IEC materials,
supervision documents and management information
systems, as well as availability of CycleBeads.
