MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E)
In collaboration with other projects, donors, national and international NGOs, Al-Thuraya conducts studies, training, and capacity building to:
- Assess the progress of the program’s implementation, the relevance and effectiveness of the interventions, and sustainability efforts to date.
- Determine whether projects are on track to meet their goals.
- Summarize lessons learned to date, and recommend any changes necessary to ensure projects meet their objectives.
- Prepare evaluation reports with action-oriented, practical, and specific recommendations with defined responsibility for the action.
Objectives and questions on evaluation are prepared following the OECD/DAC criteria:
RELEVANCE: Check if the intervention is in line with local needs and the priorities of key stakeholders and beneficiaries.
EFFECTIVENESS: Check the extent to which the intervention has achieved its purpose, or whether this can be expected to happen.
EFFICIENCY: Check the qualitative and quantitative outputs achieved as a result of the inputs.
COVERAGE: Ensure the need to reach major population groups facing life-threatening risks wherever they are.
COORDINATION: Ensure the response is implemented effectively in liaison with other organizations or governing bodies.
SUSTAINABILITY: Ensure that short-term activities are carried out in a context that considers longer-term and interconnected problems.
By conducting baseline surveys for humanitarian food security interventions, we focus on the following scores:
- Household Food Consumption Score (FCS);
- Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS);
- Household Hunger Scale (HHS);
- Livelihood Coping Strategies Index (CSI);
- Household demographic characteristics (focusing on gender, disability, socio-economic status, etc.);
- Main sources of income;
- Household’s main source of food.
