Proposal for Social Impact Evaluation Project
Project Title:
Evaluating the Social Impact of Clean Water Initiatives in Rural Communities
Introduction:
Access to clean water is a critical determinant of health, education, and economic
productivity, particularly in underserved rural regions. Our proposed evaluation will assess
the effectiveness of [NGO’s Name]’s clean water initiative in achieving its intended
outcomes. We aim to deliver actionable insights through rigorous data analysis and evidence-
based recommendations.
Objectives:
1. Impact Measurement: Quantify the social, health, and economic changes resulting
from the initiative.
2. Scalability Analysis: Identify key success factors and potential areas for expansion.
3. Stakeholder Reporting: Provide comprehensive, stakeholder-friendly dashboards
and reports to communicate findings effectively.
Scope of Work:
Phase 1: Project Design
Baseline Review: Analyze pre-implementation data and define key indicators (e.g.,
health metrics, time saved fetching water).
Stakeholder Consultation: Engage with community leaders, program beneficiaries,
and implementation teams to refine evaluation criteria.
Methodology Development: Use a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative
interviews with quantitative data collection for robust results.
Phase 2: Data Collection
Conduct field surveys across 10 representative villages.
Measure water quality and accessibility before and after the intervention.
Capture beneficiary experiences through interviews and focus groups.
Phase 3: Data Analysis
Perform statistical analyses to identify trends and correlations (e.g., reduced disease
prevalence, improved school attendance).
Use GIS mapping to visualize geographic disparities in water access.
Phase 4: Reporting & Recommendations
Develop detailed impact reports supported by visual data dashboards.
Provide strategic recommendations for scaling, including cost-benefit analyses and
risk mitigation strategies.
Deliverables:
1. Comprehensive Impact Report:
A detailed document containing:
Executive summary for quick reference.
Key Metrics:
o Reduction in waterborne diseases.
o Increase in school attendance (especially for girls).
o Reduction in time spent fetching water (hours per household).
Analysis of the intervention's effectiveness and sustainability.
Comparative analysis with similar programs in other regions.
2. Visual Data Dashboards:
Interactive Dashboards: Custom dashboards to present key findings interactively.
o Health Outcomes: Incidence of waterborne diseases.
o Economic Impact: Household income changes.
o Regional Coverage: GIS-based water access visualization.
Dashboards will be hosted online for easy stakeholder access.
3. Recommendations Document:
A separate document outlining:
Strategic Recommendations: Best practices for scaling the program to additional
communities.
Cost Optimization: Suggestions for reducing per capita costs.
Community Engagement: Tailored strategies to increase adoption and sustainability.
4. Presentation to Stakeholders:
PowerPoint presentation summarizing findings.
Interactive Q&A session with stakeholders to address insights and recommendations.
