Evaluation of the child-growth-monitoring programme in a rural district in Zimbabwe
Abstract
Growth monitoring (GM) is integral in child health programming. More than 73% of children under-five years in Mutasa district were missed during routine GM in 2015. We set out to evaluate the GM programme in 20 health facilities within Mutasa, Zimbabwe. A comparative process-outcome evaluation using the Logical Framework approach was used. A desk review of 20 health facility reports, 69 baby card records, 84 Village Health Worker (VHW) reports for the year 2015 and health facility GM statistics from 2014 to 2016 was done. VHW coverage was 86%. Height was being monitored in 51% of the villages. Only 7% of baby cards were completely filled for the height-for-age indicator, with the rest either partially or not filled. Discrepancies in recording GM trends present challenges in child health programming. There is need to ensure that data are captured well so as to inform appropriate health interventions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
