Analytical and Synthesis Study of REEEP Programmes
Purpose
To conduct an analysis of the outputs and outcomes of REEEP's project portfolio. Evaluation questions will be answered, lessons learned generated and recommendations formulated.
Main activities and outputs
- Conduct a three phased approach to the analysis.
- Initial planning and preparation phase including a preliminary documentation review of all relevant REEEP materials; a start-up teleconference; a work plan detailing the different stages of the study; and sampling methodologies for surveys and key interviews.
- Data collection phase including email or online survey targeting pre-selected individuals and projects; five case-studies of successes, failures and lessons learned; and complementary interviews to reach key informants.
- Data analysis and report writing phase including reviewing statistical results in light of contextual elements .
Expected impacts
- Provision of detailed analysis on project effectiveness against predetermined goals with a view to reviewing the extent to which the projects have had an effect on the intended beneficiaries.
- Provision of a ‘relevance checklist' against which the continuing projects can be reviewed against REEEP's defined priorities.
- Dissemination of lessons learned, best practices and potential for replication which in turn allows for fine-tuning of existing methodologies.
