Annex 5: Partner–oriented progress reporting in the KCPPRickDavies,7July2009

The last 6 Month Narrative Report was 32 pages long, excluding annexes. Within that the main section describingprogressagainstplansis16pageslong(pages11–27).Theheadingsandsub–headingsofthatsectionarebasedontheAMREFKCPPworkplanheadingsandsub–headings.AsaresultthesearefocusedondifferentcategoriesofAMREFactivities.

Thealternativeistostructuretheheadingsandsub–headingsofthissectionaroundthetypesofpartnersAMREFisworkingwith,anddifferencesamongstthesepartners.Thiswouldmakethewholereportmuchmorepartner–oriented,buildingontheusefulsection5whichprovidesagoodoverviewof“partnershipandcoordinationwithotherbodies”.

Under each of these headings and sub–headings AMREF could describe: (a) how it has been work-ingwiththatpartner,includingthetypesofassistancegiven,and(b)evidenceofdevelopmentofthatpartner’scapacities.

Muchofthematerialinsection5on“partnershipandcoordinationwithotherbodies”couldbeincludedinthisre–structuredsection.

Inthe“Healthsectorpartners”sectioninformationaboutthecommunity’shealthstatuscouldbede-scribedinthesub–sectiononthehealthcentres,inparagraphsdealingwithwhatthehealthcentreknowsaboutcommunityhealthstatus.

A final note: If AMREF 6 months narrative report is shared with partners in Soroti district then partner–orientedprogressreportingmightbemakethereportmuchmorereadabletothem.

1.Whyhaveaprocessreview?

Inmyexperienceatleast,mostMid–TermReviews(MTR)arecontractedbythedonororganisationfund-ingtheprojectunderreview.Inthisrespectthe2009MTRoftheKatineCommunityPartnershipsProject(KCPP)isunusual.TheKCPPMTRwascontractedbytheprojectmanageri.e.AMREF.Althoughunusual,thisstepwasconsistentwithaprocessproposedtotheGuardianin2008,thattheroleoftheGuardiancontractedexternalevaluatorshouldbeprogressivelyreducedovertime.Behindthisproposalweretwoas-sumptions: (a) that the M&E capacities of the KCPP project staff would be improving as the project devel-oped, through the efforts of the M&E Officer in Katine, supported by an M&E officer at the AMREF head-quarters in Nairobi, (b) that the Guardian would gain confidence over time in AMREF’s ability to objectively monitorandevaluateitsownworkinKatine.

InpracticetheamountofM&EsupportprovidedbytheNairobiHQseemstohavebeenlimited1.Norhas dedicated M&E support been available from the Uganda country office2. However, the London office has had a very significant role, both in refining the draft six monthly narrative reports and in drafting the TermsofReference(ToR)fortheMTR.AMREFUgandahasexperiencewiththemanagementofMTRs.TherehavebeenaleastfourotherMTRsofAMREFprojectsinUgandaoverthepastfewyears.IneachcaseithasbeenAMREFwhohascontractedtheMTRconsultant,notthedonor.

The MTR can be considered as an evaluation, given that DFID (amongst others) have defined an evalu-ationas“Thesystematicandobjectiveassessmentofanon–goingorcompletedproject,programmeorpolicy, its design, implementation, and results in relation to specified evaluation criteria”3.WithinthelifespanoftheKCPPitisprobablythemostimportantevaluationevent,moresothanan“end–of–project”evalua-tionthatmightexpecttobescheduledaroundtheendof2010.ThisisbecausetheMTRresultshavethepotentialtonotonlyaffectthecourseoftheprojectintheperiodremaininguntiltheendof2010,butalsothedecisionsaboutwhat,ifanything,shouldhappenbeyondthatdate.An“end–of–project”evaluationinlate 2010 will be too late to influence judgments about activities (and funding thereof) in the post–2010 pe-riod.Fundingdecisionswillneedtobemadewellbeforethen.

WiththisviewinminditwasproposedthatwhilethemanagementoftheMTRprocessshouldbeinAMREF’shands,itwouldstillbeusefulfortheGuardiantohavesomeformofinvolvementintheMTRprocess.MyproposalwasthattheexternalevaluatorshouldprovideanindependentreviewoftheMTRprocess,bybeinginvolvedinboththeplanningandimplementationstagesoftheMTR.Thiskindof“meta–evaluation”functionisnowbeingseenasanessentialpartofthelongtermprocessofimprovingthequalityofevaluations4.InthelastyearorsobothDFIDandAusAIDhaveinstitutionalisedaprocessofpeerreviewoftheircontractedevaluations,andbothhavedevelopedasetofproceduresforthoseprocesses.Forthe

It is quite possible for project activities to be successfully implemented, but have no significant effectsonsuchcommunitygroups,andviceversa,forimprovementtotakeplaceinthecapacitiesofsuchgroups,despiteprojectactivitiesnotbeingimplementedsuccessfully.

Multiplesectors,multipleactivities

Howdoyoumakeoveralljudgementsabouttheprogressofamulti–sectoralintervention,involvingarange of activities in each sector? Some form of judgement like this is required by the first of the three purposesoutlinedintheToRs(Thepurposeofthemid–termreviewistoassessprogressagainstob-jectivesinall5componentstoassesstowhatextenttheprojectisontracktoimprovethequalityoflifeforthepeopleofKatine).OnesectionoftheMTRreportdoesexamineeachcomponent,intermsofstaffmember’ssuccessinimplementingactivitiesaspertheirworkplans,duringthesecondyearoftheproject.However,thedecisiontostructuremostofthereportarounddifferent“levels”oforganisations(e.g.district,sub–county,parish,households)hasmeantthatinthemaintextofthereporttherehasbeennocorrespondinganalysisofthesuccessofeachcomponentattheoutcomelevel(changesinthefunctioningofdifferentcommunitygroups).Therearetwoannexesthatdisaggregateperformancebycomponents (Annex 6: KCPP Achievements since Jan 2008) and Annex 10: Achievement Rating Scale). The first of these lists various “Results” for each component along side the inputs provided (infrastruc-tureandhardware,training).Thesecondgoesfurtherandgeneratesan“Achievementrating”foreachcomponent. Unfortunately the changes listed as the basis for each component rating conflate changes in outputs(whatstaffhavedone),outcomes(changesinthefunctioningofcommunitygroups)andimpacts(changesinpeople’slives)12. Additional difficulties have been created by the absence of targets, of what wasexpectedtobeachieved.Ideallyanevaluationwillmakeuseofmultipleinformationsources,includingpre–existingdatacollectedbyothers.ThecurrentMTRreportprovidesinformationfromgroupandone–to–oneinterviews,ahouse-holdsurvey,astaffself–assessmentandadatabaseofvillagesxprojectactivities.Howeverthesearereportedinseparatesections.Ananalysisofcomponentbycomponentwouldallowthesesourcestobeintegratedintoonecompositepicture.Informationwasalsoavailablefrompastnarrativeprogressreportsandbaselinesurveys,butthishasnotbeenusedasmuchasmightbeexpected.

Futureplans

The draft report listed a set of 13 activities that project staff thought were of the highest priority during the final year of the project.

Provisionoftraining

More than 50% of all the activities in the three year workplan for the KCPP are training activities. AMREF considerstheseasanessentialpartoftheproject,enablingthemanycommunitygroupsandgovern-mentservicesthatitisworkingwithtofunctionbetterthaninthepast.Withouttheseimprovementsthebenefits obtained from new physical infrastructure will be reduced. ManyofthetrainingactivitiesinvolvebothAMREFstaffandgovernmentstaffworkingtogether.Ide-allyAMREFstaffwouldbehelpingbuildthetrainingcapacitiesofthesegovernmentstaff.However,ifAMREFissimply“sub–contracting”governmentstafftoprovidetrainingthenthisrelationshipismorequestionable.InthatcaseitmightbearguedthattheGuardianshouldsimplyprovidepartofitsfundingdirecttolocalgovernment,and“cutoutthemiddleman”andtheirassociatedcosts.However,ifAMREFisinfacttryingtobuildstafftrainingcapacitiesthenweneedtoseesomereportingonthisaspectoftheirworkinfuturenarrativeprogressreports.Thatis,notjustdataonwhowastrained,butwhodidthetrainingandhowtheirtrainingcapacitieshavebeenimproved. In interviews with government official at the district and sub–county levels it was clear that budgets availablefortraining(andsupervision)wereverylimited.Thismeanstheprospectsforacontinuationoftraining activities on the scale introduced by AMREF are very small. Yet ongoing training will be needed, becauseofstaffturnoverinschoolsandhealthcentresandmembershipturnoverinthecommunitygroups. These considerations do not seem to have visibly influenced the design of the KCPP develop-ment strategy. There are however two ways in which it could:
