A community edutainment intervention for gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and maternal and child health in rural Senegal: a process evaluation.

Background: Edutainment aims to spread educational messages in an entertaining way, and often reaches large audiences. While studies increasingly report the impacts of edutainment interventions, there is limited context-specific evidence on the underlying processes and barriers to effective delivery, especially in rural areas. This article presents results from a process evaluation of a community-based edutainment intervention designed to improve knowledge, attitudes, and practices on gender-based violence (GBV), sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and maternal and child health.

Tailoring Process and Impact Evaluation of a "Cash-Plus" Program: The Value of Using a Participatory Program Impact Pathway Analysis.

Background: Evaluations are often limited to affirming what impact health and nutrition interventions have, without providing enough insights into "how/why" impacts are achieved.

Objectives: This article describes how a Program Impact Pathway (PIP) analysis was used to tailor theory-driven impact and process evaluation of a "Cash-Plus" program combining unconditional cash transfers with behavior change communication (BCC) activities, which was implemented to improve children's growth in Togo.

Methods: A theoretical PIP diagram was developed using existing literature, program documentation, and interviews with the program's stakeholders at the central level.
