This training manual is to train staff of organizations working in community-based
HIV/AIDS programs (though it could be applied to any community-based maternal and
child health or reproductive health programs). Its focus is on helping staff of such
organizations to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct community-based
(population-based) surveys to assess progress towards indicators the program wants to
track. Organizations want to track these indicators because, presumably, they enable the
organization to assess whether or not it is moving towards the accomplishment of its
objectives and goals.
The manual focuses on a sample survey methodology—Lot Quality Assurance Sampling
(LQAS)—that focuses on giving program managers the information they need to determine
if there are program areas that need more attention than others (because they seem to be
performing in a substandard way). The point of this is NOT so that manager can “punish”
staff in those areas, but rather direct scarce resources to discovering the source of
problems and solving them so substandard areas can improve. LQAS is, thus, a tool for
managers to help them direct resources to improve overall program performance by
focusing on supporting those who might be struggling (for whatever reason).
