Define context
|
|
Determine list of relevant contextual themes and specific factors to obtain
|
|
Categorise contextual factors to assign frequency of data needed for source to be appropriate
|
|
Determine appropriate time frame for contextual data collection (period of time source documents collected). This should be aligned with programme implementation and timing of evaluation surveys. For example in an evaluation of a programme conducted from 2010 to 2012, baseline contextual factors should have been collected before 2010 and subsequent time periods ideally aligned with timing of evaluation surveys and/or following period of implementation
|
|
Determine level of contextual factor aggregation most useful for evaluation (district, subnational, etc.)
|
|
Share and adapt tools with country experts
|
|
Conduct desk review to identify sources
|
|
Extract data from sources
|
|
Compile metadata on sources to understand frequency of availability, time frame of reference, geographic coverage and level of aggregation
|
|
Iterative reviews of data
|
|
Prepare maternal and newborn health policy summary to serve as baseline to assess policy changes over time
|
|
Develop checklist for primary data collection
|
|
Populate checklist with as much publicly available data as possible
|
|
Circulate to research team to capture tacit knowledge
|
|
Identify appropriate key informants with country specific experts and leads
|
|
Conduct interviews using the populated checklist to verify existing information and fill gaps
|
|
On an annual basis: update desk review and assess need for primary data collection
|
|
Develop data analysis plan
|
|
Integrate analysis into interpretations of study findings
