Surveys, Monitoring and Evaluation Services
Baseline Surveys
Before embarking on any project, it’s imperative to assess project baseline indicators and any relevant information to inform project planning processes and performance measurement. Baseline information sets benchmarks at the start of the project and build an evidence base for measuring change realized over the course of implementation. At Tenvicon, we support our clients through baseline surveys to get preliminary information on the current situation in the project area of influence, collecting and analyzing pre-intervention data related to the project performance questions and indicators. This provides data on the initial status of the project area of influence so that subsequent monitoring and evaluation can assess the effect and impact of the project.
Mid-term Evaluations
Mid-term evaluations assess the continued relevance of an intervention and the progress made towards achieving its planned objectives. We conduct mid-term evaluations for ongoing programmes or projects to capture lessons learned and provide information on the nature, extent and the potential impact and sustainability of the project. We assess the project’s design, scope, implementation status and the capacity to achieve the expected outcomes. We collate and analyze lessons learned, challenges faced and best practices obtained during implementation period which informs the second phase of implementation of the project. We assess the performance of the project against planned results and support our clients to understand what has and what has not worked as a guide for future planning.
Terminal Evaluations
Tenvicon conducts Terminal Evaluations to establish the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, performance and success of the project, including the sustainability of results and the project exit strategies. We review progress towards the project’s objectives and outcomes, assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of how the project has moved towards its objectives and outcomes, identify strengths and weaknesses in project design and implementation, and provide recommendations on design modifications that could have increased the likelihood of success. We document lessons learned and best practices pertaining to the strategies employed, and implementation arrangements that can be considered to improve design and implementation of other projects of a related nature.
Impact Evaluations
Tenvicon conducts impact evaluations, the results of which can be used to inform the design of new programs and projects, and answer questions about what changes are attributable to the project and what was the overall impact of those changes on the institutions and stakeholders it engaged with. We use DAC evaluation criteria to answer questions pertaining to the effectiveness of the program, relevance of it theory of change, efficiency, sustainability and impact as well as identify changes in attitudes and behaviours of beneficiaries. We support our clients to assess the extent to which the objectives of a development intervention are consistent with beneficiaries' requirements, country needs, global priorities and partners' and donors' policies.
