Session 4: Measurement

Quantitative indicators are usually easy to measure -this simply involves counting things (e.g. number of people trained, amount of seed delivered) Qualitative indicators are of ten perceived as more difficult to measure, because these indicators of ten represent people s feelings or opinions.

This enables systematic assessment of indicators such as trust, confidence, motivation and participation

Methods in PIA

Ranking & scoring Before & After Pair-wise ranking & scoring (matrix & proportional pilling)

SLIDE 4

All methods are supported by secondary literatures & direct

bservations

The result of one method are compared with the results of one/more methods The 3 pillars of PIA are: 1) Sharing, 2) Attitude & behavior and 3) tools Impact assessment involves a) understanding, b) analysis and c) explaining Respect is the key to the success of this process (PIA) Be aware of the non-verbal communication (dress code, body posture & behavior) Your behavior says a lot than what you are saying Avoid biases & leading questions Look beyond the box and check for consistency in information

Relative incidence of cattle disease before a CAHW project and now , Western Upper Nile, South Sudan Method: proportional pill ing with 6 community groups.

Example: measuring local perceptions of changing livestock disease patterns

SLIDE 9

What information could you use to cross -check the findings?

Did the project provided medicines or vaccines f or the

disease called Gieng ? Did the project supply suff icient volumes of vaccine or medicine to cause such a dramatic reduction in this disease? Before and after scoring of cattle diseases, CAHW project, Southern Sudan
