Khulisa’s most recent blog post describes our process for designing and conducting a large, complex performance audit (PA) for the Scaling Up Nutrition Learning and Evaluation (SUN LE) project, a multisectoral nutrition program evaluation in Zambia.
The SUN LE PA is a standards-based assessment, which means the PA is built around a unique, pre-defined set of performance standards. SUN LE is a health program but standards-based assessments are common in other fields, including education and human resources.
Developing these performance standards was the most important step in the SUN LE PA design process. The Scaling Up Nutrition program is huge and wide-ranging, involving six different government ministries and impacting millions of Zambian households. Hence, the PA included 31 different performance standards grouped across 8 domains.

We’ll share a final #EvalTuesdayTip from our PA blog post next week.
