Program monitoring
We discuss 2015 program monitoring in our full review.
Here we present data from a small subset of results from 2013-2014 programs that we judged were fairly easy to interpret, relevant to assessing the programs' quality, and represented examples from a variety of the program areas monitored.1

- The descriptions in the table are based on the descriptions Deworm the World used, though there was some variation across reports and we have modified them slightly for clarity.
- 2Bihar reported further details including that 19% of teachers administering drugs did not receive any training. We are not sure how to reconcile these apparently conflicting numbers; for example, it could be due to reporting on different samples or the former question being more limited to "official" training.
- 3This is according to monitor observations of teachers; according to child interviews 88% were told to chew the pills.
- 4In pre-schools, children swallowed syrups rather than taking pills. For example, see Pg 6 of report.
