Listening to the poor enabled through technologySoren Gigler
How can international donors and governments listen better to poor communities? How can development partners better share data for greater development impact? How can we use innovations in ICTs including cellphones, SMS and inter-active mapping to empower poor people to make their voices heard?
This presentation made at the World Bank's Civil Society Forum on Oct,8 2013 provides an overview of the the following programs: Mapping for Results, ICT-enabled Citizen Engagement and Open Aid Partnership. The presentation demonstrates that Geography matters for development. Where are the projects of international donors and where are the regions with the greatest needs in terms of education and health. The Open Aid Partnership aims to working together with governments, international donors, foundations and civil society to use the power of mapping to enhance the transparency and accountability of international development.
Bottom up Planning: An established systematic process of achieving certain ends with accuracy and efficiency, usually in an ordered sequence of fixed steps.
The presentation has the findings of the final evaluation of the “Strengthening Resilience of Afghan Returnees in Afghanistan” project which was implemented in 3 provinces (Nangarhar, Balkh and Jawzjan) from August 2013 to September 2015. The project was designed to reduce the vulnerability of returnee, IDP and other vulnerable groups through provision of improved WASH facilities, access to economic opportunities, and increased knowledge and capacity to prevent violence against women and children in Jawzjan, Balkh and Nangarhar provinces of Afghanistan.

The document discusses pre-experimental research designs. Pre-experimental designs lack key elements of true experiments such as control groups and random assignment. Three examples of pre-experimental designs are described: the one-shot case study which involves observing a group after a treatment with no pre-observation; the one group pretest-posttest study which involves measuring a dependent variable before and after treatment; and the static group comparison which compares groups that have and have not received a treatment. The document also provides an example of an experimental study on matching counselor and client interests that demonstrates key elements of an experimental method section including participants, design, instruments, and procedures.
This document discusses experimental research design. It begins by defining experimental research as observation under controlled conditions where the independent variable is manipulated through interventions. True experimental designs require manipulation of the independent variable, a control group, and random assignment of subjects. Several true experimental designs are described, including post-test only, pretest-post-test, Solomon four-group, factorial, and randomized block designs. Key aspects of each design like pretesting, treatment, and post-testing are explained through examples.
The document discusses monitoring, evaluation, resolution, and learning (MERL) approaches for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sustainability projects. It outlines how the four MERL elements should be incorporated throughout the project life cycle, from design to post-project management. Tools like surveys, frameworks, and case studies are presented to help integrate resolution, or addressing problems identified, into projects. The webinar series aims to close the "resolution gap" by providing resources for systematically resolving issues.
Humanitarian Indicator Tool (Dr Vivien Walden, Oxfam)ALNAP
The Humanitarian Indicator Tool is a scoring system developed by Oxfam to improve the quality of humanitarian programmes. It assesses programmes against benchmarks in areas such as timeliness, coverage, technical standards, monitoring and evaluation, feedback mechanisms, partnerships, safety, gender equity, preparedness, and advocacy. An external consultant uses documentation and interviews to score each benchmark and provide an overall assessment of how well a programme meets recognized humanitarian standards. The results are reviewed by the country office and published online to increase accountability and drive quality improvements across Oxfam's humanitarian work.

Case Study of Kenya in Assessing Capacities - Zipora Otieno, National Coordinator of the Kenya project for Integrating Agriculture in NAPs
In Kenya, a capacity assessment exercise was conducted by the NAP-Ag Programme to inform a Capacity Development Plan. This included a literature review, interviews and a self-assessment carried out on 6 government institutions. The assessment focused on four functional capacities: policy, knowledge management, implementing, partnering; each of these was assessed in 3 dimensions of individual, organizational and enabling environment. The assessment identified four priority areas of support: strengthening multi-stakeholder engagement, creating an enabling environment for policy implementation, enhancing individual technical capacities for design and implementation of programmes, and gender-responsive budgeting. Some of the assessment recommendations are already being implemented, with financial support from the NAP-Ag project. The country has also embarked on resource mobilization from the Green Climate Fund for a broad-based capacity development initiative. Kenya has good knowledge, plans and policy documents, but implementation remains a challenge. In addition, more efforts need to be channeled towards packaging scientific information to different end-user groups/duty bearers in a manner that is effective.

National Behavior Study on Use and Non Use of FP Methods in AfghanistanAkmal Samsor
An exploratory qualitative study, National Family Planning Behavioral Study (FPBS), is conducted to identify factors that influence the use of modern birth spacing methods and to identify ways to mitigate or alter those influencers at the individual, couple/family, service accessibility, socio-cultural and policy environment for improvement of CPR in Afghanistan.
Constructs from the socioecological model, health belief model and theory of planned behavior were used to develop the conceptual framework for the study. The constructs were arranged in four different levels: (1) individual level, (2) couple & family level, (3) service accessibility level, and (4) socio-cultural and policy environment level.
FGDs, IDIs and KIIs were used to collect data from nine distinct target groups residing in the ten purposely-selected provinces: Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Bamyan, Khost, Jawzjan, Kunar, Badghis, Badakhshan, and Samangan.

Services delivered by Hoqooq Offices
• Hoqooq
Offices
were
men=oned
by
a
very
small
percentage
(7%)
of
the
FGDs'
par=cipants
as
en=ty
to
resolve
the
civil
disputes
of
the
community
members
• Majority
of
the
FGDs'
par=cipants
were
not
aware
of
the
services
delivered
by
the
Hoqooq
Offices
or
have
not
even
heard
the
name
of
the
Hoqooq
Offices
• Some
of
the
FGDs'
par=cipants
confused
the
name
of
the
Hoqooq
Office
with
Human
Rights
Commission
as
in
local
language
it
is
translated
as
"Hoqooq
Bashar"
and
this
similarity
in
name
might
have
resulted
in
confusion.
