title: [Monitoring and evaluation of health care programs in Subsaharian Africa].
abstract: The monitoring and evaluation is usually the weakest component of health programs in sub-Saharan Africa, what is undermining the sustainability of funding. The problems are complex and the weaknesses of the health systems are reflected on the monitoring and evaluation of specific programs. This paper gives an insight of the problems faced during field missions for monitoring and evaluation. The steps for building the M&E system have been reviewed and keys points for implementation have been provided.
