Monitoring systems for public health program and policy implementation in community settings: features and suggested actions from a scoping review
Findings emphasise that monitoring systems require attention across multiple Action Areas, including planning and resourcing, data collection, partner engagement, and system improvements (through both proactive appraisals and real-time response). This manuscript offers a foundational framework to guide policymakers and practitioners in monitoring the implementation of community-based public health policy or programs.
