CPPECPPE

Comprehensive Participatory Planning Evaluation

Answers the changes in planning paradigms from “ centralised planning” to reaching a consensus between actors or pluralistic planning

Main features of CPPEMain features of CPPE

An approach not a method participation : all actors in

planning and evaluation, different stakeholders

global : respect of context flexibility implementation-oriented use of specific “models” to reach

the above characteristics

CPPE CPPE and participationand participation

Full participation = participate in the decision and not contribute. From identification of the problem with diagnosis to selection of interventions, planning and project evaluation

All actors have an equal place

• sponsors

• responsibles

• implementers / field staff

• beneficiaries Why participation ?

• increases comprehension of the problem and the needs

• improves the operations (one knows what has to be done and why)

• improves information flux and motivation Participation = need for specific instruments

• workshops

• models

CPPE CPPE and flexibilityand flexibility

Improves the planning - evaluation cycle, models are the same, regular revisions

Accent on the steps and its objectives

• models are instruments, not the aim

• other instruments are possible No juxtaposition with a method

• results can be translated in any framework (Logframe)

• first thinking together, filling forms comes later Changes can be made in the steps

CPPE CPPE and implementationand implementation

Accent on processes (quality, efficiency) and outputs

• Are we doing a good job ?

• Are we obtaining the results we are responsible for ?

• Explanations and corrections ? Justification of outcomes Integrated and continuous evaluation

CPPE CPPE and monitoring and and monitoring and

evaluationevaluation

Built in evaluation. Monitoring, evaluation and replanning become continuous

Formulation of evaluation questions by all stakeholders to improve the identification of qualitative and quantitative (indicators) information

Definite place for qualitative information Identification of “confounding factors” Explain why results are not obtained

BSF experiences BSF experiences with the CPPEwith the CPPE

Very high degree of acceptability

• enthusiasm, motivation

• satisfaction, willingness to collaborate Participation is guaranteed

• Workshop format with actors, integration of experts and use of instruments

Formative: accent on approach = logic and objectives of steps. Capacity building.

Good insight in the activities, the objectives Efficiency

• Operational

• Formulation of recommendations and feedback

• Identification of data

• Quality of the questions (50% operational)

• Quality of the answers
