Technical Assistance in Research, Monitoring and Evaluation

The Private Sector Project for Women’s Health (PSP-Jordan) is a five-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) with a mandate to improve the health of Jordanian women and families. Through a program of outreach visits, conducted by community health workers (CHWs), the project addresses contraceptive demand, knowledge of women’s health issues, and awareness of violence against women. The visits are orchestrated through a partnership with the Circassian Charity Association (CCA) and the General Union of Voluntary Societies (GUVS).

Karen Finnegan traveled to Amman Jordan from January 24 to February 6 2009 under a scope of work with the following objectives:

1. Discuss findings of analysis of outreach data with PSP staff and partnering organizations to determine client profile for future visits
2. Develop visitation guidelines for FP outreach visits
3. Provide recommendations for upgrading the outreach program’s data collection, recording, and reporting system
4. Work with local PSP staff to determine the feasibility of the suggested technical upgrade
5. Review PSP’s existing Monitoring and Evaluation system, identifying further needs for data analysis and documentation of PSP outcomes and potential impact

This report presents key finding, recommendations, and next steps.
