8. Evaluation Methodology:
Quantitative Methods:
The survey for the endline evaluation study will use a structured
questionnaire administered to the project's participants. It aims to
collect impact indicator data that can be compared to the
baseline data. The survey will target 316 households, chosen
based on their similar socio-economic characteristics to those
interviewed during the baseline. This sample size is determined to
ensure a 95% confidence level with a 5% margin of error,
considering a population size of 1,758. The endline evaluation
study proposes using the same sample size as the baseline
survey for a more reliable and valid comparison of the progress
made since the baseline assessment.
9. Data collection

tools and the right participants. While designing framework,
baseline study framework will be reviewed. Based on the overall
study framework, tools and checklists will be finalized in
consultation with project team.

app.
➔ For FGDs, KIIs and IDIs, paper based set of checklist will be
used
