action_plan:

Following the approval of the No-Cost Extension this year, and the related Project restructuring, the CMEP and its tools, forms, targets and indicators will undergo a thorough revamp, with the support of the donor. This will include a review of activity assessment methodology and the use of available metrics.

title:

Strengthen monitoring and evaluation. SY@W will need to update the CMEP in light of above, maintaining data quality and integrity. In so doing, it should ensure that consistent data on training activities are collected across countries and stored in a computer database for analysis. It should assess learning outcomes through competency exams, which should be based on NQF where these exist. SY@W should evaluate social media using standard metrics such as the number of users, the number of followers, and the number and percentage of engaged users. If relevant, the number and percentage of users who respond to calls for action – sign up for a newsletter, enrol in a training course, or send an email to a policymaker – should also be tracked. Metrics should be used to develop a better understanding of the type of content or posts that get the most attention broken down by age, gender and location. With this information in hand, campaigns should be adjusted accordingly. There is little value in repeating the KAB as currently designed. However, if the project is extended, consideration should be given to conducting impact studies based on experimental or quasi-experimental designed to gauge whether training programs, community engagement and/or other initiatives are effective in increasing knowledge, changing behaviour, and or reducing work-related injuries and illnesses among young workers. For example, it may be possible to undertake experiments to test the efficacy of different methods of teaching safety practices in schools or ensuring safety for young workers in work places. The key to experiments is random assignment of entities to groups that receive different treatments or none at all. With respect to quasi-experiments, SY@W should look into the potential for using OSH administrative data for these studies or specially designed surveys. In both instances, the counterfactual (comparison group) would be constructed using statistical controls.
