This toolkit catalogs many of the materials created and used by each CORE Group Polio Project (CGPP) country. There are community mobilization tools, monitoring and evaluation documents, training resources, and materials for a wide range of polio eradication approaches.
These resources inform, educate, organize, empower, and promote the work of thousands of community health workers who support vaccination campaigns, conduct community-based Acute Flaccid Paralysis surveillance, promote routine immunization, track the vaccination status of under-fives, newborns, and pregnant women, and mobilize communities to actively participate in immunization services. Some of these tools are technical and organizational in scope, such as templates that keep track of activities and record findings during immunization campaigns. Other tools are used to provide instruction or reinforce health information through interactive discussions; some learning tools are tailored to address low literacy and adapted to country or regional contexts.
These tools have been used to lead, support or coordinate the current eradication and disease surveillance efforts in Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, and South Sudan. While the tools were originally developed by and for CGPP countries over the years, the content of many of these tools can be adapted for practical application to support other health initiatives that aim at eliminating or reducing vaccine-preventable diseases.
You can browse the tools below, organized by country. For more information on CGPP or this toolkit contact Lydia Bologna at lydia.cgpp@gmail.com.
The CORE Group Polio Project (CGPP) is a multi-country, multi-partner initiative providing financial support and on-the-ground technical guidance and support to strengthen host country efforts to eradicate polio. Several CORE Group member organizations work together to implement the CORE Group Secretariat model, a time-tested mechanism for increasing coordination and collaboration. As a result of this collaboration, each in-country secretariat has come together to contribute to the Polio Eradication Toolkit.

Evaluation Tools
CGPP country programs often use Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) methodology for evaluation to see how CGPP indicators are performing. LQAS is a relatively rapid and low-cost approach to data collection compared to traditional surveys. CGPP also uses 30-cluster sampling, which is less expensive and less complex logistically than LQAS, but it does not provide data on the performance of indicators at the sub-project level.

Monitoring and Reporting Register at Various Levels
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are central to the successful design and implementation of polio eradication programs. Ongoing monitoring allows managers to identify potential problems and make informed decisions about corrective actions. Monitoring also lets stakeholders’ views be known to managers. Evaluation can determine the extent to which the project can achieve its goals and objectives and provide guidance for planning future projects.
M&E of polio eradication program deal with performance indicators of technical as well as managerial program areas and include an information system that collects, stores, analyses and presents the information to help decision making. The information system consists of various recording and reporting tools, a flow of data and information, management of data at various levels of collection and use, and a governance system to the use and security of data. Information technology, such as computers and mobile devices, is an integral part of the information system.
This section contains the following categories of tools and resources developed and/or used by CCGP and its partners in their monitoring and evaluation work:
- Monitoring and reporting registers at various levels
- Supervision checklist
- Evaluation reports
Registers at Community Level
A user-friendly monitoring & reporting system has been established for CGPP catchment area.
Community level: The Community Mobilization Coordinators (CMC) is responsible for about 500 households. These Community Mobilization Coordinators fill data by hand in their registers. Reporting formats have carbonless sheets that are handed over to Block Mobilization Coordinators (BMCs) each month
Registers: 3
Year: Printed every year
Organization: CGPP/India
Country: India
Language: English
Block* level: Block Mobilization Coordinators (BMCs), who oversee the work of CMCs, use this set of recording and reporting forms to coordinate the project activities and to supervise CMCs. An introductory format with general information on the work area and an annual summary accompanies the 12 data collection formats. Data collected include: SIAs, routine immunization, CMC activities, AFP surveillance, and BMC plans and achievements. The BMCs use the data to monitor the project performance in their block areas and to develop plans for the following month. Reporting formats have carbonless sheets that are provided to district mobilization coordinators every month.
Registers: 2
Year: Printed every year
Organization: CGPP/India
Country: India
Language: English
District level: District Mobilization Coordinators compile data electronically received from their Block Mobilization Coordinators. A Monthly District Progress Report – a combination of quantitative and qualitative reports – is sent to Sub Regional Coordinators every month.
County level: CORE Group Polio Project receives a monthly progress report from each sub regional coordinator, representing the consortium members of ADRA, PCI and CRS. A quarterly report is sent to the CORE HQ with a description of various communications, capacity building activities, networking, and partnership and program challenges.
*A block is the equivalent to a sub-district in India.
Supervision Checklists
Regular supervision of community volunteers and community-level workers helps to ensure high-quality polio eradication programs. Supervision allows program staff to collect data on quality, to assess reasons for lapses, anticipate future problems, and put solutions in place. It also reinforces CVs’ training, boosts their confidence, and increases their morale.
Community Mobilizer Supervision Checklists for Inter Round Activities
Year: 2006 and revised every year
Organization: CGPP/India
Country: India
Languages: English
BMC or any higher-level project staff uses this set of checklists monthly to supervise CMCs. The four checklists review: the CMC register and home visits and SIAs; interpersonal communication; group meetings; and routine immunization. Supervisors collect data through review of the register for appropriateness and completeness, observation of the CMCs in the community, and home visits to interview mothers on their interactions with CMCs and to verify immunization status. The tool helps the BMC to assess the quality of the CMCs’ work and identify ways to support CMCs, address weaknesses, and reinforce strengths.
CGPP country programs often use Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) methodology for evaluation to see how CGPP indicators are performing. LQAS is a relatively rapid and low-cost approach to data collection to use instead of traditional surveys. CGPP also uses 30-cluster sampling, which is less expensive and less complex logistically than LQAS, but it does not provide data on the performance of indicators at the sub-project level.
