Study Notes

Access to Pre-School Education

1.1% of eligible urban children enrolled in pre-school programs.
75% of urban children aged 3-5 enrolled in pre-school education in 2014.
1.2% of eligible rural children enrolled in pre-school programs.
40% of rural children aged 3-5 enrolled in pre-school education in 2014.

Primary School Learning Outcomes

2.1% of Grade 6 students scored 70% or better on standardized math tests.
75% of students in 2016 achieved 70% or higher in Maths.
61% of students in 2016 scored 70% or better in Science.

Target Setting in Project Management

A target quantifies an indicator level an organization aims to achieve by a certain future date.
Examples of targets include:
- Increasing agricultural exports by 20% within three years.
- Reducing extreme poverty by 20% by 2020.
- Improving Primary School enrollment rates by 30% by 2020.
- Reducing hepatitis B incidence among infants by 20% by 2019.

Results Framework

A Results Framework shows outcome indicators, baseline situations, and targets.
Secondary data is obtained from documents like baseline reports, monitoring data, and financial reports.

Methods and Data in Evaluation

Primary Data: Collected through methods like surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and observations.
Evaluation Designs: Include experimental, quasi-experimental, and pre-experimental approaches.

Experimental Design

Originates in medical research, known as Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs).
Requires random assignment of participants to intervention and control groups, ensuring equal characteristics among group members.

Quasi-Experimental Design

Lacks random assignment; used when ethical or political concerns prevent randomization.
Requires creation of comparison groups that are similar but not equivalent.

Pre-Experimental Design

Types include:
- One-Shot Case Study
- One Group Pre-test, Post-test Study
- Static Group Comparison Study

Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)

Focuses on establishing data collection, analysis, reporting guidelines, and outlining roles and responsibilities.
Involves quality control, timelines, costs, and guidelines for disseminating monitoring findings.

Evaluation Function in RBM&E

Helps in making resource allocation decisions, identifying alternative solutions, and re-evaluating problems.
