Analysis and reporting plan
Once you have identified indicators and planned for data collection, plan for data analysis and reporting. If you are working with an external organisation to manage your M&E data collection, they may ‘clean’ your data and report key findings for you and your team. If M&E will be conducted by your team, plan to have someone manage your data to prepare for reporting.
The steps involved in data analysis and reporting vary widely based on your programme, indicators, reporting needs, resource availability, etc. Consider how the data collected can be used to make changes or adjustments to your campaign, communicate the successes and learnings of your programme, and advance knowledge about IYCF-related SBCC campaigns.
Objective: Work with your M&E technical specialist to understand what should be included in your campaign’s analysis and reporting plan. Also consider working with the CAC, CMT, communications experts and others to report on the programme’s findings.
