The review identified strengths and weaknesses of the reports and was supplemented with report strengthening activities through additional research and use of varied data sources to support recommendations. Data source and information integration in this regard formed the primary quality control and editing measures.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The goal of this survey was to inform healthcare providers of the study and determine how many of them detected the standardised patients sent to them in the prior surveys. SurveyCTO software was employed for electronic data collection.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The GAP Year project evaluation aimed to generate evidence around the impact of asset-building approaches for adolescent girls that can be utilized by policy makers and to strengthen programme responses. CESAR was contracted by WRHI to conduct fieldwork for the baseline evaluation in 12 Gauteng schools. CESAR conducted the exercise efficiently and submitted weekly reports to the client, in addition to the final fieldwork report.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

CESAR conducted a desktop literature review, developed the programme theory of change and logic model; created 60 indicators for monitoring and evaluating the programme and designed the entire M&E system and data collection tools. Further to completing the design of the M&E framework, the NMCF extended CESAR’s contract to digitalise the programme’s paper-based M&E mechanisms. This allows for electronic data collection, management, and timely reporting of programme data from various sources with an interactive dashboard displaying summary data on programme indicators.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
