Specific methods include community surveys and focus group discussions, interviews with key informants, site visits and case documentation, most Significant change (MSC) analysis and document reviews. The entire process for conducting both strands of the assignment is highly participatory in order to promote self-reflection and learning among key stakeholders and promote uptake of the recommendations to improve future programming of similar or related initiatives.
