Parallel Session A2Impact and Outcome Monitoring Thursday 25 July 2002 11.00 - 12.00
Purpose of Session Guiding questions for outcome and impact indicators in Malawi: • What do we have? • What do we need? • What can we do better?
Focusing on 3 different areas: • Poverty priority indicators • Programme for surveys and censuses • Integration of qualitative assessments
Poverty priority indicators • Are we monitoring the right impact and outcome indicators in Malawi? • Are some of the MPRS indicators irrelevant? • Are there some important omissions in the MPRS list of indicators?
Survey / census programme • What is the future programme for surveys, censuses, DHSs, etc.? • If there is a such a programme, how does it correspond with the identified needs for data on outcomes and impacts? • If not, how should it look like?
Integrating qualitative assessments Possibilities for integration: • Improvement of the survey questionnaires in the light of participatory findings. • Timing of future PPAs / QUIMs • Scope for doing QUIMs in the same sites as surveys? • Other suggestions…..?
Recommendations • Limit data sources to Malawi data collection agencies. • Carefully examine indicators in terms of relevance for MPRS inclusion.
Concerns Raised • Reliability of HIV data and this affects target attainment.
5 years Plan for Surveys 2002 HIV/AIDS Study 2002 CWIQ 2002 Education Survey 2003 QUIM (Qualitative) 2003 Integrated household survey (Security) 2003 CWIQ 2003/04 Labor force survey 2004 MDHS (Demographic 2004 CWIQ 2006 Integrated Household Survey 2008 Census
What do we need?What can we do better? • Recommendations: • Identify a program of work to integrate MIS data with survey data • Funding is a constraint, for instance for future CWIQ which is to be funded by Government. • Need to convince policy makers about the importance of timely data collection • Capacity building for data analysis (NEC, NSO,CSR) – identify where! • District statistics
Integrating Qualitative • Integrated household survey should be followed up by QUIM – same year 2006! • Look at same research areas in HIS and QUIM, e.g. education, health, etc. • Use same sample units in CWIQ and in QUIM to triangulate, explore results and deepen our understanding of poverty • Maintain constant module in surveys to enable time trend analysis of same indicators
