Example application. The purpose of the evaluation in Papua New Guinea was to guide program improvements and to determine if continued or expanded support of the program is justified. The following KEQs were developed with the FETP staff in Papua New Guinea:

1. What were the key outputs of the FETP?

2. To what extent did the FETP contribute to increased knowledge and skills of trainees and graduates (including enablers and barriers)?

3. To what extent did the FETP trainees and graduates translate knowledge and skills into public health action (including enablers and barriers)?

4. To what extent did the FETP contribute to a health system responsive to public and clinical health needs (including enablers and barriers)?

5. To what extent did the FETP graduates impact public health in the communities they serve (including enablers and barriers)?

6. To what extent did the FETP contribute to the sustainability of Field Epidemiology Training Programs in PNG (including enablers and barriers)?

7. What were the unintended positive and negative consequences of the FETP on trainees and graduates?

Mid-level evaluation questions were subsequently developed under each KEQ
