How to Develop Indicators

Indicators are tools used to measure program progress. They are used to assess the state of a program by defining its characteristics or variables, and then tracking changes in those characteristics over time or between groups. Clear indicators are the basis of any effective monitoring and evaluation system. This guide is designed primarily for program managers or personnel who are not trained researchers themselves but who need to understand the rationale and process of conducting research. This guide can help managers to support the need for research and ensure that research staff have adequate resources to conduct the research that is needed to be certain that the program is evidence based and that results can be tracked over time and measured at the end of the program. 

How to Develop a Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

A monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan is a document that helps to track and assess the results of the interventions throughout the life of a program. It is a living document that should be referred to and updated on a regular basis. While the specifics of each program’s M&E plan will look different, they should all follow the same basic structure and include the same key elements. This guide is designed primarily for program managers or personnel who are not trained researchers themselves but who need to understand the rationale and process of conducting research. This guide can help managers to support the need for research and ensure that research staff have adequate resources to conduct the research that is needed to be certain that the program is evidence based and that results can be tracked over time and measured at the end of the program. 

How to Develop a Mission Statement

An organization’s mission statement describes clearly and concisely why the organization exists – its purpose.

Helping Babies Breathe Webinar Series

Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) teaches the initial steps of neonatal resuscitation to be accomplished within The Golden Minute to save lives and give a much better start to many babies who struggle to breathe at birth. HBB neonatal resuscitation techniques that have been shown to reduce neonatal mortality by up to 47% and fresh stillbirths by 24%. The Helping Babies Breathe 2nd Edition Webinar Series has been developed to provide additional advice to support training, skills retention, and ongoing efforts to improve HBB implementation efforts around the world. This series has been designed to be a valuable resource for providers who use HBB in their work, as well as facilitators who train others in this life saving curriculum. Each webinar focuses on a different topic and can be viewed in any order.

Training: Resource Mobilization

Resource mobilization is a process through which the resources that are essential for the development, implementation and continuation of work for achieving the organization's mission are identified, pursued, and managed. It is a process organizations use to acquire and put to use those things they need to implement activities and pursue their mission.This presentation, developed by JSI under the RRHO project, can be reviewed and adapted for any organization looking to develop or strengthen their resource mobilization strategy. It reviews:

• Introduction to Resource Mobilization
• Objectives and Resource Gaps
• Understanding the Funding Landscape
• Roles and Responsibilities
• Resource Mobilization Strategy Development
• Resource Mobilization Plans, Feasibility Check, and Next Steps

Global Health Delivery

The Global Health Delivery Project is a joint initiative of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard University to create a global network of professionals dedicated to improving the delivery of value-based health care.
