M&E for Social Service System Strengthening Webinar

A Child Status Network webinar on M&E of social service system strengthening efforts led by Kelley McCreery Bunkers and Mari Hickmann.

Please join us for a Child Status Net webinar to discuss M&E for Social Service System Strengthening. The discussion will be held at 9am EST on October 17th and will be led by Kelley McCreery Bunkers and Mari Hickmann. 

Brief Overview: How do we know if social service system strengthening interventions are effective? How can we monitor system strengthening efforts? Join us for a presentation and conversation on M&E of social service system strengthening efforts. The conversation will focus on current best practices to monitor and evaluate social protection systems and child protection systems, while highlighting priority areas for continued dialogue and development. In line with PEPFAR’s OVC Social Service System framework, MEASURE Evaluation with support from USAID seeks to develop an M&E framework that includes core indicators and recommended data sources. This webinar will be a platform for MEASURE Evaluation to present our work-to-date, as well as an opportunity for you to share your experiences and learn from other field experts.
