Proposal 2

Proposal for Social Impact Evaluation Project
Project Title:
Evaluating the Social Impact of Clean Water Initiatives in Rural

Communities
1. Introduction
Access to clean water is one of the most critical drivers of health,

education, and economic development in underserved regions. This
proposal outlines an evaluation of [NGO’s Name]’s clean water initiative to
measure its effectiveness and provide data-driven recommendations for
scaling and sustainability.
Through a robust evaluation process, we aim to:
 Understand the program's tangible and intangible outcomes.
 Empower stakeholders with actionable insights.
 Enhance the credibility of [NGO’s Name] among donors and

communities.
2. Objectives
1. Impact Measurement:
o Quantify the social, health, and economic benefits derived

from the clean water initiative.
o Compare pre- and post-intervention data to gauge success.
2. Scalability Analysis:
o Identify key factors contributing to program success.
o Assess risks and opportunities for expanding the initiative to

other regions.
3. Stakeholder Reporting:
o Create intuitive and visually compelling reports and

dashboards for donors, partners, and beneficiaries.
o Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights.
3. Scope of Work
Phase 1: Project Design
 Baseline Review:
Analyze pre-existing program data to set benchmarks and establish
key performance indicators (KPIs).
 Stakeholder Engagement:
Organize meetings with community leaders, local government
officials, and program implementers to align on evaluation goals.
 Methodology Development:
Design a mixed-method approach combining:
o Quantitative methods (e.g., surveys, water testing, and

household data collection).
o Qualitative methods (e.g., focus group discussions and

interviews).
Phase 2: Data Collection
 Survey Administration:
Conduct structured surveys across 10 representative villages,
targeting households, schools, and clinics.
 Water Quality Testing:

Collect water samples to assess contamination levels and align
findings with health data.
 Community Interviews:
Facilitate focus groups and one-on-one interviews to capture
personal stories and contextual insights.
 Use of Technology:
Deploy digital tools for efficient data collection (e.g., tablets and
cloud-based platforms).
Phase 3: Data Analysis
 Perform a comparative analysis of pre- and post-intervention

outcomes, focusing on:
o Reduction in waterborne diseases (e.g., diarrhea, cholera).
o Improved school attendance, particularly among girls.
o Increased household productivity due to reduced time spent

fetching water.
 Use statistical models to identify causal relationships between

program activities and observed outcomes.
 GIS Mapping: Visualize regional differences in water access and its

impact on community well-being.
Phase 4: Reporting & Recommendations
 Comprehensive Reports:
Deliver a professionally designed report with:
o Executive Summary: High-level findings for quick stakeholder

understanding.
o Data Insights: Charts, tables, and graphs for key metrics.
o In-depth Analysis: Detailed interpretation of data.
 Recommendations Document:
o Actionable strategies for scaling and improving the program.
o Risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis for decision-

making.
 Visual Dashboards:
o Interactive dashboards to help stakeholders explore the data.
o Metrics such as health outcomes, economic changes, and

geographic coverage.
4. Deliverables
1. Comprehensive Impact Report
A detailed 50–70-page document summarizing the following:
 Baseline and endline results.
 Social, health, and economic outcomes.
 Comparative analysis across villages.
2. Visual Data Dashboards

 Maps of water quality improvement.
 Trends in disease reduction.
 Cost-benefit metrics.
3. Presentation to Stakeholders
A PowerPoint presentation summarizing:
 Key findings.
 Recommendations for scalability.
 Interactive Q&A session.
