| Abstract: The Campaign to End Pediatric HIV/AIDS is a complex and dynamic local-to-global networked advocacy initiative. It requires a continuous monitoring and learning system that includes: real-time learning; plans based on a well elaborated campaign-level theory of change and individual theories of action; reporting instruments that surface lessons to support adaptive action; data and analysis demonstrating achievement of outcomes and plausible contributions from CEPA; and a communications platform that supports real-time virtual engagement. iScale's Impacts Planning, Assessment, Reporting, and Learning (IPARL) approach ties together these activities and serves as a communications and accountability mechanism across stakeholders, and as a basis for strategic planning and course correction. This demonstration will use the CEPA case to walk participants step-by-step through the development and implementation of an IPARL approach and explore its successes/challenges as well as its ability to support rigorous assessment, using multiple and mixed methods and by triangulating various sources/types of data. |
