 Controlling
 Organizing

1
Controlling
Is a process of,
 Establishing performance standards based on

the HSO's objectives,


 Measuring actual performance,

 Comparing it with the intended result ,

 And taking corrective action as necessary.

An essential part of the control process is taking


corrective actions as needed
In other words, it is regulating activities in
accordance with the plan
2
Types of controls

 Are two types of controls


1) Organizational controls:
‗ e.g. standards of measurement such as profitability.
2) Operational controls:
‗ e.g. meeting quality standards during the production
process, ensuring enough supply of raw materials.
 Most important components of controls :

‗ standards, measurement, comparison, appraisal


and intervention or change.
3
Four steps in the control
process
[Link] standards and methods for
measuring performance
[Link] Actual Performance
[Link] Performance Against
Standards(compare actual data with standards)
[Link] corrective Action

Styles of supervision

 Are three main styles of supervision


 ‗ Autocratic ,

 ‗ Democratic (supportive) , and

 ‗ Anarchic

 Supervision is a helping process

Feedback in the Control Process

 An essential element in the control process.


 Any feedback system must have a number of

characteristics:-
─ Timely
─ Reliable
─ Precise
─ Right

Inputs
 Resources used in a program

 Include financial, human or material resources

 Examples:
 ART service providing health workers
 Anti-TB drugs
 Laboratory reagents

Activities
 Program procedures that are implemented to
obtain desired effects

 Examples:
 Training human resources for counseling and
testing
 Screening patients for opportunistic infections
 Conducting supervision

9

Outputs
 Are the immediate consequences of the inputs utilized
and program activities conducted.

 Examples:
 Number of patients treated

 Number of clients counseled

 Number of HIV tests carried out

10
Terms in M&E cont…
Outcomes
 Effects upon the target population that can lead to the
intended “ultimate goal” of a program

 The effects include several types and may focus on


awareness, attitudes, behavior, utilization etc

 Examples:
 Increase of condom use
 Improvement of quality of HIV/AIDS services
 Reduction of risky sexual behaviors

11
Terms in M&E cont…
Impacts
 Are related to long-term accumulative effects of programs

 They are rarely attributed to a single program or


intervention

 Examples:
 Reduction in incidence of HIV infection

 Reduction of HIV/AIDS mortality

 Improvement in quality of life of patients

12
What is monitoring ?
Monitoring: is the systematic and continual
collection, analysis, interpretation and use of
data on key aspects of an intervention and/or its
expected results.
It includes group of activities that:
 Follow up priority routine information about

a program and its expected results.


 Follows up the program’s costs.
 Compares performance with plan

 Provides information that can be used


for program evaluation

13
Why do we monitor ?

Monitoring helps to know whether :


 the activities are being completed as planned

 & are being conducted within the time frame

specified
 the budget is being spent according to the

plan
 any changes are needed in the

implementation
 of activities &

 the work plan should be modified

14
Why do we monitor ? . . . .

 To identify strengths and weakness of a


project/program
 To take timely & appropriate decisions
 To improve the performance of a project
 To enhance accountability at all levels
 What aspects of a program / a project is
monitored ?
 Who monitors a certain program / project?
 How monitoring is conducted

15
Evaluation
 It is the periodic assessment of the
change in targeted results
 It attempts to link a particular
output /outcome directly to an
intervention
 The aim is to check the impact of
the program

16
Evaluation….
 It is the comparison of actual project
impacts against the agreed strategic plans

 It looks at what you set out to do, at what


you have accomplished, and how you
accomplished it.

 Determines the merit or the value of the


program and explains the relationship
between the program and its effects
17
Types of Evaluation
 Process Evaluation: It is also known as program
monitoring, document the implementation of
a project and explain cause and effect.
 Impact Evaluation: Document and explain cause
and effect. It focuses on outcomes. For example,
measures of awareness, knowledge and attitudes,
skills and behaviors yield impact evaluation data.

18
Cont….
 Formative Evaluation: it should be done before or
during the implementation of methods activities or
programs improve the quality of performance.
 Summative Evaluation: conclusions to be drawn
about impact, outcome or benefits of the program or
method.

Program improvement:
 Evaluations conducted with the purpose of
improving a program by informing decision makers

approach or strategies, and to decide on alternatives

 This type of evaluation that serve this purpose is

 And such information from evaluation activities is usually
used by higher level decision makers including donors
and political leaders to decide Whether to continue or
discontinue the program

 Evaluation conducted to serve this purpose is called


summative evaluation

22
Uses cont..

Knowledge generation:
 Evaluations can be conducted with a primary purpose
of generating new knowledge that can be applied to
other contexts and situations

identified in the planning process: structuring
the work of the organization.

26
 It deals with formal assignment of tasks
and authority and coordination of effort;
and arranging them into a decision-
making framework.

divided up into jobs and at the same time
making sure that these divided jobs are
linked together into total team efforts.

27
Benefits of organizing

resources
 Improving employee understanding of job duties

&responsibilities
 Improving employee morale

 Providing a sense of direction for each of the

organization’s functional areas

process
[Link] plans and goals
2. List all tasks to be accomplished
3. Divide the whole work activities into individual
jobs
4. Group related jobs together in a logical and
efficient manner; i.e.
 Group similar jobs into sections
 Combine related sections into divisions
 Assemble correlated or functional divisions into
departments

29
5. Assign work to individuals
6. Delegate authority to establish relationships
between jobs and groups of jobs; i.e. assign
head to each department to supervise and
control the various activities of each
department.

30
Important elements of
organization structure
 The most important elements of organization
structure are:
i. Division of labour
ii. Decentralization
iii. Delegation
iv. coordination
v. Authority

31
i. DIVISION OF LABOUR

 It is dividing operating work into manageable


units: the concept of departmentalization.

 It is the degree to which tasks in an


organization are divided into separate jobs.

 It is breaking of a complex task into


components.

32
Reasons and benefits

2. Definition
3. Command
4. Responsibility

6. Span of control
7. Balance

37
A coordinating checklist

38
The concept of departmentalization

 Departmentalization is the basis on which

organizational chart represents departments.

 Number and type of departments vary in


each organization.
