  1. Assessing the Evaluability of the Philippine Population Management Program (PPMP) Alejandro N. Herrin May 9, 2002

  2. PPMP activities per strategy PPMP strategies per objective PPMP objectives in the light of current and prospective population concerns Figure 1 : Links between objectives, strategies and activities

  3. Figure 2: Framework for Assessing PPMP Impact By Policy Objective Outcomes (Achievement of policy objective i) Utilization of outputs/ intermediate outcomes • Outputs (Activities) • Services in place • Advocacy and communication program in place • Training program in place • Organizational support in place • Inputs • Personnel • Commodities

  4. Table 1: Assessing PPMP in Terms of Outputs, Utilization, and Outcomes Evaluability question/comment: The links between outputs, utilization and outcomes are well known. Hence, what is more important is to establish that the outputs exist in sufficient scale to have measurable impact on utilization and outcomes.

  5. Evaluability question/assessment: Data on of outcomes are hard to come by, and they have many determinants that are difficult to isolate. Data on utilization are more available from surveys (e.g., NDHS and FPS), so that evaluation may focus primarily on the link between outputs and utilization.

  6. Evaluability question: Are the outputs clearly identified and are they of such magnitude (i.e., the capacity to cover alarge number of the eligible target population) that their utilization by the target population are likely to have measurable impact on the outcomes? There is the question of the appropriate scale of outputs, the extent of coverage of the eligible population to have some measurable impact, given the fact that the outcomes have many other determinants, e.g., education, that can only be disentangled through a multivariate analysis of large survey data.

  7. Evaluability questions: The items in italics are not clear nor are they easily measurable. The link between utilization and outcomes of these italized items appears tenuous.
