The questions aimed to explore programmatic issues relating to whether the projects/programmes metand fulfilled the <strong>Best</strong> Practice criteria.3.2 Analysis and interpretation <strong>of</strong> dataFollowing data collection, the Score Card was used to measure and analyse data within the scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>Best</strong>Practice programming. The Score Card was based on the seven criteria identified by SADC and it focusedon interrogating the programme's effectiveness, ethical soundness, cost effectiveness, relevance, replicability,innovativeness and sustainability. Each <strong>of</strong> these areas has been broken down into key variables that bestconstitute the criteria. The selected variable can be scored 0 to 4 as follows:4 Excellent3 Very good2 Good1 Just satisfactory0 Needs urgent attentionn/a Not applicable to the project.The total possible score is 100%• A total score above 80% reflects that a project/programme is truly a <strong>Best</strong> Practice,• A total score <strong>of</strong> 65-79% reflects a <strong>Best</strong> Practice that needs minor improvements,• A total score <strong>of</strong> 50-64% points to a project/programme which is a <strong>Best</strong> Practice in specific areas - itmay not be a total package. It can be documented but needs major improvements,• A total score <strong>of</strong> 40-50% reflects a programme/project which is not yet a <strong>Best</strong> Practice but has thepotential to become one; and• Any score below 40% means that the programme/project is not a <strong>Best</strong> Practice and should not bedocumented.The format <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Best</strong> Practice Score Key was designed to ensure commensurability with internationalstandards, to allow for comparison with other <strong>Best</strong> Practice projects, and to <strong>of</strong>fer insight into the strengthsand weakness <strong>of</strong> the particular programme - allowing programme feedback for consolidation. This ScoreCard has been tested and used in documenting <strong>Best</strong> Practices for SADC.3.3 Anonymity and photographic consent formsAll participants signed consent forms to appear in photographs and for these photographs to be published.Verbal consent was also obtained.
