Monitoring & Evaluation Framework for Polio Convergence - Uttar Pradesh
- This is the monitoring and evaluation plan for convergence in the polio programme in all 66 high-risk blocks of Uttar Pradesh (in this case from June 2010 - May 2012).

A colour code is assigned to worst performing blocks – red for blocks which appear in worst performing list for consecutive 4 months/rounds, brown for blocks appearing in worst performing list for consecutive 3 months/rounds and blue for blocks appearing in worst performing list for consecutive 2 months/rounds. A trend analysis is then charted out for these blocks – whether neutral, positive or negative, with comments and suggestions.
