comments:

There is enough indicative evidence available on effectiveness of such orientation approaches in source areas of migration. For example, research/survey reports undertaken by IFPRI on WIF training initiatives, and an earlier ICAI review documented this.

title:

7. Conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of the orientation work in communities of origin covered by WIF. An area of work that has been impressive for WIF is the agency focused work on orientation guidance for potential migrant workers in areas of origin, including the use of returnee migrant women to provide their experience. However, there is limited data on the efficacy of this work, and this is one survey we would recommend that is conducted by WIF to provide outcome indicator data. Our recommendation would be to work through the CSOs that have been conducting the work, and to use a participatory survey in keeping with the methodology itself. Through this survey benefits of the orientation guidance, in the various ways it has been provided (women’s groups, schools, community meetings) can be identified, and then information gathered on the numbers of women who participated in the orientation activities who have experienced specific benefit. Purposive sampling can be undertaken of an agreed number of the groups or locations targeted. This kind of participatory numbers survey can be undertaken rigorously and provide often more insightful and valid data than a more expensive formal quantitative survey. WIF does need some evidence of the value of the methodology it has developed for the orientation and guidance training and an assessment that will be widely accepted is required.
