This document provides Independent Monitoring coordinators and supervisors with global implementation guidelines for independent assessment of the quality and coverage of supplemental immunization activities (SIAs). The guidelines outline a cluster survey methodology adapted from the WHO EPI Coverage Surveys. The monitoring team applies these guidelines during all SIAs and submits the data to the CGPP Secretariat for entry, analysis and sharing to guide subsequent polio campaign rounds. Data is used to take immediate corrective actions, if needed, and to plan upcoming SIA rounds. The guidelines have four clearly laid-out sections: 1) pre-planning activities; 2) data collection tools, analysis and presentation; 3) field work and 4) report template.
