Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting for SayPro

To ensure the workshops and resources are achieving their intended outcomes, it is essential to gather feedback from participants. This can be accomplished through a combination of surveys and interviews, providing both quantitative and qualitative data.

1. Surveys:

• Distribute surveys to participants immediately after the workshop or following the use of resources.
• Include questions that assess satisfaction, learning outcomes, and the applicability of the information provided.
• Use a mix of Likert scale questions (e.g., “Strongly agree” to “Strongly disagree”) for measurable responses and open-ended questions to gather detailed feedback.
• Example survey questions:
  • “How useful did you find the content of the workshop?”
  • “To what extent do you feel more confident in applying the skills learned?”
  • “What resources did you find most helpful, and why?”
  • “What improvements would you suggest for future workshops?”

2. Interviews:

• Conduct interviews with a representative sample of participants to dive deeper into their experiences and gather more detailed feedback.
• Aim for a mix of structured and open-ended questions to understand the participants’ views on the effectiveness and relevance of the workshop and resources.
• Example interview questions:
  • “Can you share an example of how you applied what you learned from the workshop?”
  • “What aspect of the workshop did you find most engaging or impactful?”
  • “What would have made your experience better, and why?”

3. Data Analysis:

• Analyze survey and interview data to identify common trends, challenges, and successes.
• Focus on whether the workshops and resources are meeting their objectives and how they are contributing to participants’ skill development.
• Utilize both qualitative and quantitative data to provide a well-rounded evaluation.

4. Reporting:

• Compile the findings into a comprehensive report that includes:
  • An overview of feedback gathered through surveys and interviews.
  • Analysis of the effectiveness of the workshops and resources.
  • Recommendations for improvement based on the participants’ responses.
  • Any trends or insights that could inform future workshops or resource development.
