  • Achievements at a glance

    The processes for Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) includes the CHS commitments to measure and evaluate. Systematic beneficiaries survey are used in different programs and operations, and feedback is analyzed and communicated at different operational and strategic levels (including the Management Review Meeting).

  • How is your organization assessing progress

    The ratio of projects/programs that we conducted beneficiaries satisfaction surveys for feedback and the number of needs assessments that included information from beneficiaries and the reports generated accordingly.

  • Challenges faced in implementation

    For healthcare and PSS services, the beneficiaries feedback is mostly positive due to the lack of people knowledge about healthcare and psycho-social support, so they cannot adequately assess the adequacy of the services, rather they are not highly acquainted with their rights.

  • Next step to advance implementation in 2017

    Publish awareness about beneficiaries rights, their necessary impact on services through their opened feedback and opinions
