Summary Learning Report 2009 - Ghana Livelihoods

This report is a summary of the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) report on the Ghana Country Programme in 2009. Evaluation reports are meant for learning, hence they focus on the outcomes and impact of the projects as well as their successes and challenges, rather than checking on project progress or money spent, which is done via progress reports.

Evaluations are based on questionnaires for different stakeholders. Depending on the country, the evaluation includes project teams reflecting on IICD's support), participants of trainings (reflecting on capacity development) and end users (reflecting on the projects they take part in).

The evaluation report below is the unmodified original work of Hippolyt A.
S. Pul of Development Alternative Services Foundation, the M&E partner in Ghana. It gives an overview of both the data collected and the discussions that followed in the Focus Group, in this case mainly focussing on end users of Livelihoods projects, trainings and support from IICD. Though sensitive information from specific partners has been removed to maintain a trust relationship with and between partners, M&E reports are an honest representation of the processes and lessons concerning the Country Programme. In 2009, the Country Programme in Ghana projects collected 775 questionnaires.
