Proactive Partnership Strategy - Global Road Safety Partnership

Evaluation is the examination of the integrated road safety actions and their
impact against the agreed strategic plans and targets against what the
situation was before.
Can be formative (taking place over the life of the planned integrated road
safety actions with the intention of continuously improving the actions and
their outputs and outcomes).
Can also be summative (drawing learnings from a completed action).
Allows the PPS Team to systematically document, disseminate and promote
effective practices that can be useful for others who want to reduce the
impact of road trauma on their community.
Typically in a PPS there are 5 elements for consideration in the Monitoring,
Evaluating and Recognition Step.
Recognition is generally almost exclusively related to the systems. Recognition
(Awards) vary in form, and in Brazil these range from Adhesion Stamps,
Certificates, and Municipal Road Safety Quality Stamps.
Note:
There are three broad types of evaluation: process, impact and outcome.
Process: used to assess the elements of the PPS delivery – quality, appropriateness
and reach of the actions. Used from start to finish – planning to end of delivery.
Impact: used to measure immediate effects and can be used at the completion
of set stages – in the case of the PPS this is usually quarterly - to measure the extent
to which objectives are being met.
Outcome: used to measure longer term effects of the PPS and is related to
judgments about whether, or to what extent, the PPS goals have been achieved.
Longer term effects may consider changes in fatalities and serous injuries,
sustained behavior change, improvements in quality of life in general and human
life (trauma management) in particular.
