“…external donors, national ministries of health, district health administrative offices and international normative bodies, limits the transferability of lessons from highresource settings. 4 This paper emerged from a series of meetings on capturing lessons learnt from country-level efforts to translate the model EPHS recommended in Disease Control Priorities, third edition (DCP3). Drawing on the experience of DCP3 projects in Ethiopia and Pakistan, we summarise the state of the evidence on M&E for EPHS.…”

“…7 Current monitoring efforts in LMICs emerged from specific programmes or disease areas (eg, HIV/AIDS, family planning, vaccination campaigns) and efforts to strengthen national HMIS generally. 4 In settings where BMJ Global Health resource constraints effectively limit EPHS to donorfinanced interventions delivered in community and primary care settings, a robust HMIS could capture the alignment of service delivery outputs with EPHS priorities. HMIS alone, however, cannot monitor whether an EPHS as a policy mechanism is being implemented as intended (eg, EPHS dissemination, changes in financial flows following EPHS revisions).…”

“…Resource-limited countries face unique challenges in tracking the implementation and impact of their EPHS, while the proliferation of stakeholders with different M&E requirements, for example, external donors, national ministries of health, district health administrative offices and international normative bodies, limits the transferability of lessons from high-resource settings. 4 …”

Monitoring and evaluating the implementation of essential packages of health services

Essential packages of health services (EPHS) are a critical tool for achieving universal health coverage, especially in low-income and lower middle-income countries. However, there is a lack of guidance and standards for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of EPHS implementation. This paper is the final in a series of papers reviewing experiences using evidence from the Disease Control Priorities, third edition publications in EPHS reforms in seven countries. We assess current approaches to EPHS M&E, including case studies of M&E approaches in Ethiopia and Pakistan. We propose a step-by-step process for developing a national EPHS M&E framework. Such a framework would start with a theory of change that links to the specific health system reforms the EPHS is trying to accomplish, including explicit statements about the ‘what’ and ‘for whom’ of M&E efforts. Monitoring frameworks need to consider the additional demands that could be placed on weak and already overstretched data systems, and they must ensure that processes are put in place to act quickly on emergent implementation challenges. Evaluation frameworks could learn from the field of implementation science; for example, by adapting the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance framework to policy implementation. While each country will need to develop its own locally relevant M&E indicators, we encourage all countries to include a set of core indicators that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal 3 targets and indicators. Our paper concludes with a call to reprioritise M&E more generally and to use the EPHS process as an opportunity for strengthening national health information systems. We call for an international learning network on EPHS M&E to generate new evidence and exchange best practices.

In the international sense, the digital economy is a network, systemically organized spatial structure of relations between economic entities. It includes the sector of creation and use of new information, technologies and products, telecommunications services, electronic business, electronic commerce, electronic markets, remote services and the like. There are different views on what should and should not be attributed to the digital economy. Initially, it was assumed that this is an expanded concept of the Internet economy, which includes neighboring market segments. This understanding has been revised in recent years, as many industries, including the «real industry», are undergoing a digital transformation. The process covers retail, passenger and cargo transportation, tourism, industry, agriculture, catering, hotel business, medicine, public administration. The enterprises of these industries, which caught the trend and started changes, become, in fact, Internet companies. The purpose of the work is to analyze the past experience of supporting young entrepreneurs in the context of state subsidy and financing programs. In the course of the work, the task is to analyze the foreign experience of supporting young entrepreneurs and its implementation in Russia using international experience in conditions of new digital economy. The results of the work will be useful for analyzing the impact of support mechanisms for start-up entrepreneurs in the CIS.

The widespread adoption of digitalization and artificial intelligence, alongside the abundance of big data, has significantly transformed societies. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in leveraging big data and artificial intelligence to capture and analyze social transformative change in evaluation. However, there is no consensus on the ethical and appropriate use of these tools in evaluation. This article used a systematic literature review to provide an overview of using big data and artificial intelligence for evaluation purposes, identifying challenges faced. Unresolved issues encompass ethical, methodological, and ownership concerns. The study suggests ways to address these challenges and advocates for united efforts to mix big data and artificial intelligence with traditional approaches. To achieve this, it emphasizes the necessity of leveraging interconnected data platforms, mitigating ethical risks, and enhancing evaluators’ competencies in computer and data science, which is essential for the integration of big data and artificial intelligence in the evaluation field.
