| Abstract:
Objective: The objective is to demonstrate field level applications of management oriented evaluation models that have potential to improve health systems performance evaluation.
Design: Exploratory Literature based study
Results: Cases of field level applications of management oriented evaluation approaches in Malawi, Uganda,Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Namibia points to potential approaches that have capacity to demonstrate evidence of effective health systems strengthening interventions, a challenge which has not be resolved by expenditure based evaluation approaches

| Abstract:
In the last decade behavioral health researchers and practitioners have come to recognize the critical importance of the use of service interventions that have established evidence of their efficacy. Unfortunately, it is now recognized that effective programs are not always readily adopted, and that there are significant gaps in the translation of theoretically sound best practices into workable programs in the field. The translation of research into practice involves recognizing and solving complex problems that deal with the technology of implementation. For evaluators, there are significant leverage points for a renewal of the value of process evaluation interpreted through the lens of implementation science. In this roundtable I will briefly review issues in translational science and its relevance for process evaluation. The roundtable will then provide an opportunity to discuss and explore potential roles for evaluators in the explicit process related roles of implementation, fidelity, integration, and sustainability.
