Project Information

SDS was contracted by the InfRES Project Office to implement Training Package 3-Course: Participatory Benefit and Impact Assessment (PBIA) of Subprojects. Training Package 3-Course 2 introduced benefit and impact monitoring and evaluation (M&E)  while inculcating the use of participatory approaches and community-based benefit M&E and to provide inputs in the conduct of the benefit and impact evaluation in subprojects implemented by the LGUs.  The training provided the participants with knowledge and skills in monitoring the results and benefits derived from the interventions provided by the subproject, and in assessing the benefits against the projected results/outcomes of the subproject.

The training enabled the participants from 51 LGUs to design their PBIA plan, including survey questionnaire, data gathering and statistical analysis and report writing. Outputs for each training include revised PBIA questionnaire and plan.
