Evaluating Large-Scale Health Programs

Johns Hopkins University

This specialization, offered by Johns Hopkins University, prepares learners to evaluate large-scale health programs, especially in low- and middle-income countries where routine data may be limited. The courses focus on planning and implementing effectiveness evaluations, providing tools for data collection, and conducting quantitative analysis to disseminate findings effectively. Learners will develop skills to plan technically-sound evaluations, measure program impact, design program delivery assessments, and interpret and communicate evaluation results to stakeholders.

  • Plan and implement effectiveness evaluations of large-scale health programs
  • Develop technically-sound evaluation plans and guide stakeholders through priority activities
  • Measure program impact and model it with the Lives Saved Tool
  • Design assessments of program delivery, including documentation, indicators, and measurement methods
  • Conduct quantitative analysis of primary or secondary surveys and interpret results for stakeholders
