Moving from the early beginnings in missionary and humanitarian programs to full partnership in today's major global health efforts, faith-based programs now range from direct service delivery to serving as major implementers of Global Fund, PEPFAR, RBM and other large public health programs, whether they are implemented by FBOs or secular organizations. As all global health programs are now charged to demonstrate measurable impact on reducing mortality and morbidity and contributing to meeting the MDGs, the role of monitoring progress towards program objectives and evaluating best practices and lessons learned has become central to their work. Panelists from several different faith and professional backgrounds will present results from some of these programs, their perspectives on the role of religious organizations and networks in achieving these results, as share their experiences integrating professional public health evaluation practices into their organization. Session is open to everyone Please join us for what is sure to be a stimulating discussion! Contact: jean_capps@hotmail.com.
