At Prime Health Consultants (PHC), we specialize in comprehensive Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project. Our team conducts independent results verification, evaluations, and learning reviews across various health and related interventions, ensuring that our clients receive insightful and actionable data.
Comprehensive Evaluations Across Sectors
PHC undertakes in-depth evaluations and learning exercises for health programs of varying scope, size, and sector. Whether it’s a single disease intervention implemented by one agency in a specific region or district, or an integrated, multi-thematic area intervention carried out by a consortium of partners across multiple countries, we apply the same rigorous evaluation design to all projects. Our expertise extends beyond health, as we have also evaluated projects in areas such as disability-focused development, social inclusion, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH).
Methodological Rigor and Tailored Approaches
We begin each evaluation with the development of a comprehensive evaluation framework that includes data collection and interpretation strategies. Our approach is systematic: we formulate clear evaluation questions, review existing data and information systems to identify gaps, and recommend the most suitable methodologies. We collect, collate, analyze, and triangulate data to assess program outcomes and impact. Additionally, we offer impact modeling and value-for-money assessments to further enhance the utility of our evaluations.
Our evaluations and learning exercises are designed with the client's needs in mind, incorporating a thorough cost-effectiveness and risk analysis. Depending on the objectives, we utilize a range of methodologies, including participatory approaches, quasi-experimental designs, before-and-after comparisons with or without counterfactuals, and a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods.
Informing Strategy and Decision-Making
PHC also conducts program reviews to inform strategy, scale-up, funding decisions, and strengthen Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems. Our approach to these reviews is similar to that of evaluations, with an emphasis on efficiency and timeliness, enabling clients to make informed decisions for adaptive programming.
