Impact of a monitoring and evaluation training in 3 PEPFAR-supported countries.
Article in Evaluation and program planning, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe second phase of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) transitioned from scaling up HIV prevention and treatment to promoting sustainability and capacity building for programs monitoring performance and evaluating key program indicators. We assessed the success of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) curriculum designed to build capacity in three PEPFAR-supported countries.
methodsWe customized M&E trainings based on country-specific epidemic control priorities in Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Cameroon. The M&E curriculum included five modules and three evaluation activities to assess impact: (i) in-person pre-post confidence assessment surveys (CAS), (ii) in-person pre-post knowledge tests (PPKT), and (iii) electronic 6-12 months post-training translating knowledge into practice (TKP) surveys. Pre- and post-training results were compared within and across countries and triangulation with the qualitative data evaluated overall success.
resultsAmong 188 participants attending M&E trainings, 154 (82 %) responded to CAS and 165 (88 %) participants from Ethiopia and Cameroon completed PPKT. Overall CAS scores between pre- and post-test improved [Score mean difference:1.5-1.9]. PPKT indicated statistically significant knowledge gained. One out of five TKP respondents provided direct application examples from the M&E training.
conclusionWhile feedback was predominantly positive overall, revisions were recommended for three of the five modules. Developing a customizable and adaptable M&E curriculum may sustain countries' ability to monitor their progress towards epidemic control.
