monitored by establishing and then collecting information on work-norms or
standards.
Backed by strong management commitment to help anticipate, identify, and
comply with the requirements of the USAID-P, our QA and QC program shall be
proactive. The quality program includes independent reviews, audits, and
corrective actions together with documentation of these activities. Under QA,
key professional and the Project Management Team (PMT) members shall be
engaged in systematic and planned reviews, audits, and the taking of corrective
action needed for all contractual and agreed-upon technical procedures and
processes.
Meanwhile, our QC program shall ensure the provision of all required Project
deliverables and services specified in the SOW and in accordance with the
USAID-P requirements. These outputs and services shall be delivered in
compliance with professional standards established by the consulting community
as well as scientific and technical disciplines involved in the conduct of the
evaluation study. In particular, we are adopting a research program that would
ensure completeness, correctness, and consistency of data; sound data analysis;
and interpretation.
3.3 Data Collection Methodologies
The performance evaluation design includes developing a methodology for collecting data,
drafting and testing study instruments using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data
collection.
On-Site Visitation
On-site visitation will be conducted in the 4 selected MKBAs (Calamines Island group, Danajon
Bank, South Negros and Verde Island Passage) of which sampled sites are discussed in the
succeeding section.
SDS team will conduct ocular observation along the coast particularly the physical development
in the MPA but not limited to the presence of buoy markers, bill boards, guard houses, training
center, etc. Observations will be documented by taking photographs. This will be done in all of
the 3 MPAs per MKBA area, hence, a total of 12 actual site visits will be done.
QUALITATIVE
The qualitative component of the study is intended to complement the quantitative component.
Qualitative data will be derived from focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews with
key informants (KII): people who are involved in the project or the targeted partners or
beneficiaries of the ECOFISH project.
The study will adopt Kirkpatrick’s Model of evaluation which consists of several data capture tools
namely: FGD with fishing communities, women, BLGUs, private sector, community based
