In this episode 7, part 2, Dr. Wand discusses with evaluation expert Yvonne Okeke Equitas www.equitas.org Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) for a $18 Million project in Burkina Faso, Haiti, Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal entitled Achieving Equality through Human Rights Education. You can learn more about the project here: https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/P006852001 The experts conclude that Equitas cannot make the claim that their project is achieving its outcomes because only 1 of their 20 outcome indicators in their PMF properly measures the project outcomes. This discussion focuses on the flaws with the PMF and provides solutions to how the PMF and the overall evaluation of the project can be improved. In brief, those solutions include:
- Replace your self-reporting bias (i.e. perceived capacity, levels of confidence, transferring knowledge) from your project beneficiaries (i.e. women, men, women organizations, civil society organizations, others) with external, objective measures of their technical capacity to promote and lobby for gender equality.
- Replace your subjective and frequency measures reported by the duty bearers with objective behaviours such as increased expenditures on gender equality programs 0r legislation passed that reflects better gender equality. Your current measures of empowerment in the PMF are not valid measures of empowerment.
- Either introduce comparison groups or measure your target groups more frequently to support your claims that your project outcomes have been achieved due to the project.
The PMF and complete summary of all 20 outcome indicators for this project is available by emailing [email protected].
