Caselets Best Practices Foundation
What are Caselets Caselets are small stories or mini-case studies describing a participant's experience of a programme or practice
Purpose of Caselets • They demonstrate the impact of a practice or programme on participants • Caselets provide qualitative evidence of impact • Caselets bring out the human elements of a practice
Format to document a Caselet • Background information of the participant • socio-economic information (age, gender, religion etc) • information on the family background • Activities of the Participant • What the participant engaged in (eg: literacy camps, community based projects) • Impact on the Participant • Changes experienced by the participant due to the programme • Future Aspirations or Plans of the Participant • How the impact has transformed their future aspirations
To Capture a Good Caselet • Organization needs to decide criteria for impact • Shortlist high impact cases or participants • Interview these participants ideally taping them with a digital taperecorder with their permission • Take high resolution photos with their permission for print
To Capture a Good Caselet • Transcribe your information ideally verbatim and get quotations from the participant of the impact in their own words • Write up the caselet like a narrative story • Bring out the impact • In sensitive cases (eg: FSWs or MSMs) change the names of participants to protect their identity
Helping People Connect For 20 year old Umesh and 19 year old Mahilar, their mobile shop is an answer to their dreams. Umesh said, “I came to know that BPF was giving training on marketing through my mother and my friends. My childhood desire to start my own business made me join the MOVE training.” They started their business together and divide the profit equally between them. Today, they earn a profit of Rs.37,000 per month. “If any customer asks for something which we don’t have or which we are unable to repair, we never say ‘no’ to them”
Helping People Connect • After MOVE Training • Conducted market survey to identify services with a demand • Did customer segmentation to provide services customised to the needs of the clients • Learned to build rapport and interact with the customers . • Expanded their business by opening a second mobile repair shop in Dharwad city • Diversified into another business, by opening a gym in Kyarakoppa village • Earns a combined profit of Rs.35,000 per month from the two mobile repair shops and Rs.2000 per month as profit from the gym. • Before MOVE Training • Umesh and Mahilar wanted to start their own business • They had no clear direction on how and where to start the business start
