2. What is it? Planning Phase Analysis Phase Problem analysis – identifying key problems, constraints & opportunities; determining cause & effect relationships Stakeholder analysis – identifying & characterising potential major stakeholders; assessing their capacity Objective analysis – developing solutions from the identified problems; identifying means to end relationships Developing Logical Framework matrix - defining project structure, testing its internal logic & risks, formulating measurable indicators of success. Activity scheduling – determining the sequence and dependency of activities; estimating their duration, and assigning Responsibility Resource scheduling - from the activity schedule, developing input schedules and a budget

4. Problem analysis In the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), the indicators worldwide are not improving, and the needs gap regarding modern contraception remains high. Adolescents — both girls and boys — remain largely underserved despite the fact that they are mostly already sexually active and represent future generations. Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is not consistently addressed in healthcare programmes, nor is it linked to HIV/AIDS programmes in developing countries. Situation

18. Indicators: verifying success ► Indicators allow you to understand whether the intervention has been successful or is on-track. ► Indicators describe the project’s objectives/results in operationally measurable terms. ► Indicators are the basis for the project’s monitoring & evaluation system. Q: « How would we know whether or not what has been planned is actually happening or happened? How do we verify success? » Indicators ► Indicators should be independent of each other. Each one relating to one objective or result. ► Often it is necessary to establish several indicators. One indicator can provide quantitative info & the other qualitative. ► However: not too many indicators! Guiding principle: collect the minimum amount of info Tips

19. Indicators: verifying success ► How should the information be collected? (e.g. from administrative records, special studies, sample surveys, observation… ) ► Who should collect the information? (e.g. field extension workers, survey teams, the district health office, the project management team) ► When/how regularly should it be provided. (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually, …) Sources of verification ► Avoid the creation of parallel information systems, minimize additional costs, ► See if the required information can be collected through existing systems, such as: ► Bureau of Statistics, local research agencies, donor and business reports ► Civil society organizations, local government agencies and other service delivery agencies Tips

20. Indicators: verifying success Specific to the objective it is supposed to measure. Measurable Achievable Relevant to the information needs of managers Time-bound – so we know when we can expect the objective to be achieved Indicators should be SMART
