Program Implementation
Epicentre helps communities & organizations to assess the health-based problems. We then plan, manage and put in place COVID-19, HIV and wellness programs that have proven results.
We can then look back on these results and evaluate within each individual business. That is why we offer a comprehensive product based on a proven model developed by the distinguished Centre for Disease Control (CDC).
Incredible Implementation
Our program designs use evidence-based practices which make sure they are well-designed and well-conducted.
The needs of the targeted population inform the program through a ‘Participate Approach’, meaning your perceptions and attitudes are taken into account
We conduct planning in a facilitated manner, allowing a multi-sector team plan. This aligns their activities and intents and decisions around a common program.
Clearly defining workstreams, timelines, roles and responsibilities, identifying and managing risks. We have a national database of staff to support program implementation.
We evaluate the program outcome to ensure it delivers results and has a positive impact

Efficient Evaluation
Before we start evaluating a program, we clarify with our client the following questions:
What will be evaluated?
What criteria will be used to judge program performance?
What standards of performance on the criteria must be reached for the program to be considered successful?
What evidence will indicate performance on the criteria relative to the standards?
What conclusions about program performance it justifies, based on the available evidence?
We apply the six-step framework for evaluation:
Engage stakeholders, Describe the program, Focus the evaluation design, Gather credible evidence, Justify conclusions
Ensure use and share lessons learned: We test and share our recommendations, Sharing draft recommendations, Soliciting reactions from multiple stakeholders, Presenting options instead of directive advice
