Complexity Aware Monitoring (CAM) Workshop Series

MOMENTUM Knowledge Accelerator hosted a five-session Complexity Aware Monitoring (CAM) Workshop webinar series in July and August 2021. The workshop featured CAM practitioners from both within and outside the MOMENTUM suite of awards to present CAM approaches and provide real-world applications in a dynamic, interactive setting. The workshops were an opportunity for MOMENTUM Knowledge Accelerator to build the capacity of MOMENTUM field and headquarters staff, USAID staff, and other external participants in the use of CAM approaches. The engaging sessions featured breakout groups, discussions, and question and answer sessions with experts on topics ranging from preparation to implement CAM approaches to integrating specific approaches like outcome harvesting, most significant change, and pause and reflect into their programming.

MOMENTUM Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Framework

The MOMENTUM Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Framework is based on key concepts, relationships, and pathways through which MOMENTUM will achieve its overall vision. The framework is organized into five components: (1) Theory of Change, (2) Learning Agenda, (3) Measurement, (4) Analysis and Synthesis, and (5) Dissemination and Data Use. This document describes each component separately and how they work together across all the MOMENTUM awards to create a harmonized approach. It replaces the previous version of the MOMENTUM MEL Framework dated December 2020.

A Practical Introduction to Classic LQAS: An Interactive Discussion about the Whys, Whens, and Hows of Applying Lot Quality Assurance Sampling

On February 22, 2024, MOMENTUM Knowledge Accelerator held a webinar on lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS), a classification method for evaluating a program to determine whether a coverage threshold has been reached. LQAS is a relatively rapid and inexpensive approach to data collection in lieu of traditional surveys used internationally and recently integrated with cluster sampling for applications in large countries. In this webinar, Joseph Valdez, a Professor of Global Health at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, discusses the origins of LQAS in the 1920s; how to apply LQAS for monitoring and evaluating programs; how to select an LQAS sample size, collect the data and interpret it; and common pitfalls and things to avoid.

Targeted Assessments to Identify, Reach, and Monitor Zero-Dose and Under-Immunized Children

On November 15, 2023, MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity held a learning exchange webinar to discuss targeted assessments for identifying zero-dose and under-immunized children. The exchange focused on the use of some of these methods, including LQAS (lot quality assurance sampling) and cluster surveys, drawing from experiential knowledge from colleagues in two countries using these techniques, as well as reflections from WHO on how these approaches can be used as part of “The Big Catchup.”
