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.
