Strategic Framework Strategic frameworks are diagrams that identify steps or levels of results and illustrate the causal relationships linking all levels of a program s objectives.
Strategic Framework Purposes: Provides a clarified focus on the causal relationships that connect incremental achievement of results to the comprehensive program impact Clarifies project/program mechanics and factors relationships that suggest ways and means of objectively measuring the achievement of desired ends
Strategic Framework Reduced level of Employment-related Discrimination against persons living with or affected by HIV/AIDS Population Level Increased knowledge of HIV/AIDS workplace policy or guidelines Reduced Stigma against people living with HIV/AIDS Improved HIV/AIDS workplace policy or guidelines Increased capacity of workplace to offer comprehensive HIV/AIDS policy and programmes on a sustainable basis Programme Level
Performance Monitoring Plan Functions of the PMP: Facilitate the collection over time of comparable data Support the management process for data collection and analysis Inform the analysis and review of data
Performance Monitoring Plan In order to compare our plans to performance we need data. And if we are to have data, we need a plan for acquiring them.
Performance Monitoring Plan In what units will we collect the data? Who has the data what source? How will we actually gather the data? How frequently? Who will do it? What will it cost?
Performance Monitoring Plan Immediate Objective 1 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR INDICATOR DEFINITION AND UNIT OF MEASUREMENT DATA SOURCE METHOD/ APPROACH OF DATA COLLECTION OR CALCULATION DATA ACQUISITION SCHEDULE/ FREQUENCY RESPONSIBLE PERSON(S) & TEAM ANALYSIS, USE & REPORTING SCHEDULE BY MANAGEMENT EVENT RESPONSIBLE PERSON(S) & TEAM Immediate Objective 1: Increased business sector activity in target areas Areas may include regions, communities, groups, administrative units, associations, organizations, enterprises, countries, or special populations. 1. Number and percent of existing firms that expandbusiness es over the past year Definition: Firms included are those receiving training and/or seed funds directly under LED or QS programs and those vendors/suppliers who are indirectly involved in LED, LMAC/RR or EC. Business expansion is self reported using a survey that asks Y/N if expansion has occurred. Disaggregated by LED, LMAC/RR and EC, based on direct and indirect involvement. Unit: # of assisted firms that report business expansion; among firms assisted, # that report expansion as a % of total firms assisted. Project survey Data will be collected for each firm 1 year after seed funds are received. One year is counted after the last disbursement of funds. Data will be collected from all qualifying firms (i.e., not a sample survey). Survey will include questions about net revenues. This data may be used ultimately in this indicator in lieu of expansion question. Quarterly, to capture all results from firms whose on year postservice delivery period terminates in that period. Local specialists to administer survey to be reviewed by Regional Coordinators. Periodic management reviews (semiannual) Technical Reports (semiannual) Regional Coordinator in conjunction with Project Director COMMENTS/NOTES:

Collecting Information Selecting instruments for data collection The types of instruments required will depend on the information you need to collect All data collection instruments should be thought of as a package of inter-related tools that help you to obtain the information needed to make good management decisions
Collecting Information Instructions for data collection It is advisable to prepare a short manual on how to use each instrument for data collection Your programme indicators will help guide you in developing your instruments
Collecting Information Instructions for data collection The manual should describe: Who should fill out the forms How often and under what circumstances How the forms should be filled out Reporting format, frequency of reports Who to report to Examples of how information is used
