What we have learned

Page 5: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

“We measure progress to satisfy our own need. We measure to check that we—the community—are moving

in the direction and at the speed that we have chosen.”

Page 6: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

“Measurement is an essential partof every learning cycle”

Page 7: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

4 reasons to measure progress.

Page 8: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

In order to learn from our experience so that we can do it better the next time.

Page 9: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

To be able to focus the effort that we still need to make to achieve our objective

2

Page 10: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

To celebrate our progress!

Page 11: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

To be able to share our progress with others.

Our starting

point

Page 13: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Every community has within itself the capacity to measure the progess it is making towards its dream.

Page 14: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Some questions

Page 15: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Who has the main responsibility for your health?

Page 16: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

And who has the main responsibility for checking upon the current state of your health?

Page 17: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

So how would you feel if an external organisation would take responsibility for measuring the progress of

your health?

Page 18: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Our principles

Page 19: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Ownership by the community itself for its health and for monitoring its health is at the heart of the matter for us.

Page 20: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Each group owns the indicators for which it has the prime responsibility.

Page 21: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Our proposal

Page 22: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

We measure the progress of a facilitated community project on two levels

Page 23: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At the level of faciltation and its delivery

1

Page 24: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At community level

2

Page 25: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At the level of facilitation and its delivery

1 Indicators to demonstrate progress:

• The number of communities that develop and implement their action plan. • The number of communities that transfer their skills.• The number of facilitators trained.• The number of support team competent to organise and to implement a facilitated process.• The number of staff in health zones who own and practice SALT.• The number of operational meetings.• The number of organisations who own and practice SALT.• Number of papers/knowledge assets circulated.

Page 26: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

1Base line levels

Base line levels are usually ‘zéro’ for the first ‘SALT’ project in an area.

At the level of facilitation and its delivery

Page 27: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

1 Targets

Partners to define based on their experience.

Targets related to the environment, external factors and risks to the project.

At the level of facilitation and its delivery

Page 28: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

1 Examples to demonstrate progress:

• Documentation par photo des plans d’action;• Système d’information local géré par la communauté; • Interviewes par vidéo sur actions et résultats; • Liste de participation• Auto-évaluations des facilitateurs • Auto-évaluation des équipes de soutien; • Rapports des visites, réunions, rencontres• Vérification des plan d’extension• Cartographie de transfert horizontale

At the level of facilitation and its delivery

Page 29: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

All of these are OUR responsability

1

Page 30: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At community level

2 Indicators:

• Each community identifies for itself 1-2 indicators for each of its 3 priority practices.

=> Each community will decide for themselves and will have responsibility to measure between 3 and 6 indicators.

Page 31: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At community level

2 Base line level

The community decides upon and measures the base levels.

The base levels are illustrated by the level of the practise in the Self Assessment today.

Page 32: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At community level

2 Targets

The community decides upon and measures the base levels.

The targets are illustrated by the target level of the Self Assessment for the practice.

Page 33: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At community level

2Means of verification

The community decides how they will determine progress and they make the measurements.

Page 34: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

We, as facilitators/partners can use the experiences of other communities to

inspire, but not to impose.

Page 35: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

All of these are the responsability of the community.

Page 36: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

How can the partners contribute?

Page 37: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

At community level

2 They can add the indicators that are important for their purposes.

• They propose these indicators to the community to support their own indicators

• They offer their support to gather this information.

• They share these indicators regularly with the community.

Page 38: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

An example

Page 39: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

The community chooses to work on three priority practices for comprehensive vaccination.

Page 40: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

126

We comply with the vaccination schedule.

We acknowledge and accept.

We mobilise resources.

Page 41: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

For each priority practice, the community identifies :

- target level for the practice in the Self Assessment.-1 or 2 indicators -the base level-the target for their chosen time period-the means of verification

Page 42: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

126

We comply with the vaccination schedule. Base level: 1

Target level: 3

We acknowledge and accept.Base level: 3

Target level: 4

We mobilise resources.Base level: 2

Target level: 4

Page 43: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

We comply with the vaccination schedule. Indicator: Number of parents who comply with the

vaccination schedule/ Number of parents with children to be vaccinated.

We acknowledge and accept.Indicator: Number of parents who agree to the

vaccination of their children/ Number of parents with children to be vaccinated.

We mobilise resources.Indicator: Sum of money in the bank account to pay

for the vaccination of children.

Page 45: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

UNICEF et the Health Districts measure (for example):

—the percentage of mothers with children aged between 12 and 23 months who live within 5 kms (or a 1 hour walk) of a vacccination station.—the percentage of children aged between 12 and 23 months who have been completely vaccinated.—the percentage of children aged between 12 and 23 months who have received DTC1/Penta1.—the percentage of children aged between 12 and 23 months who have received DTC3/Penta3.

Page 46: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

Through the use of these methods of verification:

•Family enquiry LQAS• FOSA enquiry •Qualitative enquiry for SPP

Page 47: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

This information is shared regularly with the community for 2 reasons:

Page 48: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

To stimulate an in-depth discussion during the next Self Assessment based on evidence1

Page 49: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

To update the action and the plan to measure progress by the community2

Page 50: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

And the community?

Page 51: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

The community becomes more skillful, confident and strong even after the completion of the project

Page 52: Changing our point of view Measuring progress in community facilitation.

And the community will transfer these skillsnaturally to other communities.
