EVALUATION

evaluability of the evaluation questions, standard scientific methodology, results chain of the TOC
and collaboration or participation of LGUs, various stakeholders and institutional partners.
In view of these objectives, we anchor our basic approaches and methodologies on three (3)
essential factors:
(1) ECOFISH documents and reports, (e.g. contract, work plan, M&E plan, status reports
Baseline/Benchmark, operations plans, MPA related studies of the 8 sites; covenant with
BFAR and partner LGUs, FISH Project documents, etc.);
(2) The Results Chain-TOC framework; and
(3) Development experiences of coastal and fishing communities in the country as
manifested in previous project completion evaluation and assessment studies and
baseline/benchmark surveys undertaken by the ECOFISH Project and the Department of
Agriculture-BFAR in the 8 MKBAs.
Moreover, the following matrix illustrates the conduct of the performance evaluation along the
four axes: relevance (pertinence), process (effectiveness and efficiency), effects (achievement
of the project’s specific objectives), and outcome (achievement of the program’s overall
objective. Incorporating the levels of analysis and evaluation provides a guide to the SDS
approach to the performance evaluation.

3.2 Approach and Methodology
The proposed performance evaluation design and framework embodies the following proven
approaches in attaining the objectives of these consulting engagements.
Consultative Approach. This framework entails the interplay of various stakeholders, thus, calling
for clear understanding and consideration of various stakeholders’ cultures and interests in the
performance evaluation and assessment process. We envision a work plan that leverages on the
