Summary
There are persisting challenges with cancer data collection and tool designs.
Evaluation capacity gaps among professional and cancer caregivers/managers exist and hinder progress.
The roles of VOPEs remain inadequate and unappreciated.
The number and use/engagement of Evaluation professionals remain inadequate.
Evaluation infrastructure and funding remain suboptimal.
In most environments, policies, and laws that support professional evaluation are lacking.
Organize routine evaluation of Cancer development works.
VOPEs and governments/MoH should update professional evaluators, communities, and populations with cancer information/data and selected indicators.
Efforts should be made to massively integrate cancer interventions within the other health and development interventions in multisectoral settings.
Cancer management curriculum should be included at primary health care (PHC) levels.
