New Case Studies on Results Measurement of Private Sector Development Programmes
The Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) have recently released ten new case studies on how to measure the results of private sector development programmes.
The focus of the case studies is on how to measure results using the DCED Standard, a widely-used framework for results measurement, and they will be of interest to any programme looking for practical examples of how to measure, manage, and report credible results. They include case studies of attribution, management, and assessing systemic change. A selection of the case studies are below, and others can be found on our case study page.
Programme management and results measurement
>> Building a Learning Culture- The Case of the MDF in Fiji: A culture of learning is the foundation of an effective results measurement system. This case study describes MDF's strategies and experiences of MDF in developing a learning culture.
>> Using Information on Results in Programme Management - The Case of Samarth-NMDP in Nepal: This case describes the system and tools that Samarth Nepal Market Development Program have developed to analyze information on results and use it to adjust interventions and strategies.
>> Developing a Program-Specific Results Measurement Manual: This guidance note provides an annotated outline of a program-specific MRM manual illustrated with examples from actual programs.
Assessing attribution
>> Measuring Attribution: A Practical Framework to Select Appropriate Attribution Methods. There are also four sub-case studies of individual programmes, listed here.
Measuring systemic change
>> Defining and Populating Pathways for Systemic Change: Strategic Guidance of MDF: This case explains how MDF thinks about influencing market systems, using six key parameters.
>> Measuring Systemic Change - the Case of GEMS1 in Nigeria: This case study explains how GEMS1 define and measure wider changes in the market system due to their interventions.
Measuring changes in indicators
>> Monitoring Progress: The Case of M4C Bangladesh: This case discusses how to monitor results in order to help manage and steer a program.
