Session+3


 * Week 3: Designing a final impact assessment plan**


 * Challenge**

//Participants will be asked to develop a draft design plan for assessing the impact of their chosen programme. This will be based on the methods selected in the previous assignment. The design plan should be sufficiently detailed and note how the plan fits with the program design and should include the type of data to be collected and the methods that will be used to collect that data.//


 * Learning Objectives**


 * 1) Understand the main elements of an impact assessment design plan.
 * 2) Detemine the technical apsects of data collection: sample size, questionaire design,
 * 3) Review issues in setting up and administering household surveys
 * 4) Understand the practical details of the implementation: skills required, reporting results, evaluation coordination, workplan and budget.
 * 5) Demonstrate an ability to implement an impact assessment plan in conjunction with a project


 * Session 1: Self-guided e-learning lessons 2.5 "Selecting methods and approaches"** (duration 45 minutes) **and 2.2 "Quantitative methods: Household Surveys"** (duration 70 minutes)

Dear participant, in order to get familiar with selecting methods and approaches to design a plan to evaluate the impact you are kindly invited to complete the following self-guided e-learning module. (Insert link towards the e-learning module).[| Learner's notes]can be downloaded as well (cf. low bandwidth). The lesson provides a rationale for choosing the most appropriate methods and approaches to carry out impact assessment within the context and constraints of the programme. Some of this will be review from the previous week, but this helps in thinking through the impact assessment plan.

In order to get familiar with household surveys, a key data collection approach for impact assessment, you are kindly invited to complete the following self-guided e-learning module. (Insert link towards the e-learning module). Learner's notes can be downloaded as well (cf. low bandwidth). The lesson describes the main issues to consider when designing and carrying out a quantitative household survey, which is critical information for designing an impact assessment plan.

In designing an impact assessment plan, you need to provide sufficient details in the plan so that the path forward for implementing the plan is clear. To do this, requires that the impact assessment plan provides a sufficient level of technical and practical details. In this session, these details are discussed.
