Monitoring and evaluation

India’s economy is the fourth largest GDP in terms of purchasing power parity (Gupta and Gupta, 2008:68).

Assess the significance of three factors which might limit economic development in the developing countries.

For the progress monitoring assignment, I first reviewed the students’ assessments data provide for the assignment, and using the provided decision tree guide I determined the students’ levels based on the FSP (RC, Maze, and WA) scores. Once I had determined their level or “box results” I filled the decision tree form in by order of the box results column. I chose to order the results by that column to help make choosing student groups easier. Once all the students’ data was filled in the next step I took was to fill in the suggested curriculum and suggested strategies for each student based on their maze and word analysis assessment results. Once I had all that information entered I decided to create an extra column on the decision tree form

Hypertension (HTN) is a chronic illness that serves as a main risk factor for cardiovascular disease (Hanus, Simoes, Amboni, Ceretta, & Tuon, 2015). Although medication can manage HTN appropriately, lifestyle modifications make a substantial difference as well. However, many patients go through behavior stages in which he or she contemplate on making the necessary changes to improve their health. One solution to the problem is the development of an educational Hypertension Intervention and Follow-Up program (HIFP). Studies have shown that active educational interventions that incorporate small groups are more effective than passive delivery of educational materials (Pimenta, Caldiera, & Mamede,

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methods used by a local health care facility, Southwest General Hospital, to evaluate and monitor healthcare quality data. Quality measurement in health care is the process of using data to evaluate the performance of health care providers against recognized quality standards (FamiliesUSA, 2014). The measuring of quality plays a vital role in the creating, maintaining, and managing of the data that this healthcare facility aims in focusing on quality of health care.

Section III is the equal access to appropriate categorical and other programs section. It starts that Limited English proficient students are entitled to equal access to other appropriate programs such as compensatory, exceptional, early childhood, vocational, and adult education as well as in dropout prevention and other supportive services, whether provided or funded under federal or state law or through local initiatives. School districts will provide programs described in this section to LEP students in a manner appropriate to their level of English language proficiency. Furthermore, school districts must provide them equal access to the program's subject matter content and benefits including understandable instruction. Extended

Objective 4: Choose a control group to compare non-profit educational program outcomes by December 2013 (optional but greatly strengthens measures)

During my internship, my first primary task I performed is quality control and quality assurance. The duty I performed was commissioning for life safety. For the duration of the commissioning phase, I was assigned an area to walk the fire marshal through. I was responsible for reviewing all submittals and drawings for the emergency power test, fire sprinkler test, fire alarm and smoke control doors test. To begin the commissioning phase, the quality control manager instructed me to pre-test the emergency lighting, integrated automation, smoke controlled doors, and fire suppression system. The pre-test is approved by the quality control manager in order to schedule the fire marshal for the final walk through.

Results-based monitoring and evaluation is a set of concepts associated with performance management or results based management (RBM) strategy, which evolved in 1990’s. During that period, many countries introduced extensive management reforms in responding social, political and economic pressures that were triggered by the factors of globalisation, budget deficits, structural adjustments and competitiveness (Binnendijk, 2000). Central feature to most of those reforms has been an emphasis on ‘performance improvement’ and ‘achievement of targeted/expected results’ which were the core features of RBM. RBM has been used by many development agencies, governments, and donor agencies in delivering development interventions and has become an emerging trend in contemporary development practice.

The IQA role should be considered to be a privileged one, with high levels of personal responsibility required when accessing, handling (including appropriate sharing) and storing information in all of the formats the information may take – electronic, printed material, discussion. When planning, implementing, monitoring and reviewing quality assurance programs, I will be privy to not-insignificant amounts of information. This information can be personal in its nature when relating to the assessment practitioners and to qualification candidates, or can be commercially sensitive when the information relates to the internal policies and procedures operated by my own organisation, the centre undergoing the quality assurance cycle, and the qualification awarding organisations.

Assess the significance of three factors which might limit economic development in the developing countries.

Most of the developing countries are mired deeply in economical obstacles, which prevent them from development significantly. In order to overcome those embarrassments world’s society struggles to find the efficient solution for poor countries’ economies. Historically, developed countries undertook policy of giving aid to their colonies, afterwards by the end of The Second World War the United States and United Nations embarked the global sponsorship to the developing countries and countries of the Third World due to humanitarian considerations. Since then many other countries have joined in the effort to provide financial aid to lesser developed or poverty ridden countries. But none of those countries that received an aid had experienced a prosperity phase and rapid economic growth.

Development is defined as “the process of change operating over time- the process by which countries and societies advance and become richer’’. The modern 20th century defines development as” the process of change which allows all the basic needs of a region to be met, thereby achieving greater social justice and quality of life and encouraging people to fulfill their potential’’. Todaro defines development as “the process of improving the quality of all human lives through raising people’s living standards, their incomes, consumption levels of food, medical services, education, raising people’s self-esteem through the establishment of social, political and economic systems and institutions that promote dignity and respect and increasing people’s

Throughout history, PMS clearly have a considerable contribution to evaluate the success of organisations. According to Neely et al. (2002), performance measurement is "the process of quantifying the efficiency and effectiveness of past actions". Moullin (2003) indicates that "PM is evaluating how well organisations are managed and the value they deliver for customers and other stakeholders". The modern accounting framework can be traced back to the Middle Ages and since that time appraisal of performance has primarily been ground on financial criteria (Bruns, 1998).
