Abstract

This chapter explores the concept, programmatic elements, and impact of community-led monitoring (CLM). It begins with a brief overview of what CLM is and how CLM improves the evaluation of health services. The chapter then delves into a four-step CLM model pioneered by an HIV treatment organization. Step 1 details Community Science Education, which builds community knowledge on the science of relevant transmissible diseases and health policies. Step 2 focuses on Evidence and how CLM utilizes strategic data collection and analysis. Step 3 unpacks Engagement, when data is shared with other parties to improve health services. Step 4 explains Advocacy, when communities create evidence-based strategies to effect change. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the different strengths, limitations, and future possibilities for CLM.
