This article outlines how to use the Makerble platform to evaluate a collective impact programme in which your evaluation focuses on organisations as the beneficiaries rather than their service users.
Each of partner in the collective impact programme would exist as a project on Makerble
Every project has a logic model composed of five stages:
Activity outputs
Participation outputs
Short term outcomes
Medium term outcomes
Long term outcomes
You can create an Activity Output for each activity being done by the partners.
When progress is logged towards Activity Outputs, there is no need to tag individuals
When progress is logged towards Participation Outputs, you can simply log the number of people who attended (a workshop for example) and if you want to, you can disaggregate that number of attendees e.g. by Age as shown in the example below.
It's fine for multiple partners to use the same Activity Outputs or for each partner to have their own set of Activity Outputs. In scenarios where they are the same, the system will aggregate the results together in an Album. You can see this on the Progress Board below. Cards 7 & 8 are the 'Album' view that aggregate the results from the three partners (called Strategic Initiative, Partner 2 and Partner 3)
For expediency, you can save a logic model as a template and apply it to multiple projects at once. (we call it a strategy)
You can engage the individuals in Participant Surveys. You can deploy these in a number of ways. The two options most suitable for an evaluation where organisations are the data subject are likely to be the Responses are Anonymous option or the Send Personalised Links via Email option.
With Responses are anonymous a public web address is generated which anybody with the link can use to complete a survey
With Personalised Links via Email, each individual participant receives a unique survey link that only they can use to complete the survey
