Programme Evaluation Data Analysis: Baseline, Endline and Impact Evidence
Show what your programme changed. We analyse monitoring and evaluation data, compare baseline and endline results, and report indicators and impact evidence in a form donors and stakeholders can use.
What this service covers
- Indicator definitions and calculation from survey and monitoring data
- Baseline and endline comparisons with tests of change
- Comparison between intervention and comparison groups
- Difference-in-differences and regression adjustment where the design allows
- Disaggregation by gender, age, location or other groups
- Qualitative evidence from interviews and focus groups to explain results
- Evaluation report sections linked to criteria such as relevance, effectiveness and sustainability
Analysis that matches the evaluation design
What you can claim depends on the design. A simple before-and-after comparison shows change but cannot prove the programme caused it. A comparison group allows stronger statements. We explain what the design supports and choose methods such as paired tests, hypothesis tests or difference-in-differences with regression accordingly, being clear about limits.
Indicators and disaggregation
We calculate your logframe or results-framework indicators from the data, check definitions, and disaggregate by the groups that matter, such as women and men or districts. Disaggregated results often reveal who benefited and who did not.
Combining numbers and stories
Numbers say what changed; interviews explain why. We integrate interview and focus group analysis with the survey results using mixed-methods integration, so conclusions are better supported. For knowledge and practice outcomes, see KAP survey analysis.
Dashboards for monitoring
Where indicators are tracked continuously, a programme monitoring dashboard keeps results visible between evaluations.
How the work runs
- You share the evaluation questions, design and data.
- We define indicators and agree the analysis plan.
- We analyse the data and integrate qualitative evidence.
- You receive tables, charts and report-ready findings.
What you receive
- Indicator tables with baseline, endline and change
- Group comparisons with statistical tests
- Disaggregated results
- Integrated findings from qualitative and quantitative data
- Report sections addressing your evaluation questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you prove my programme caused the change?
Only if the design supports it, for example with a comparison group. We state clearly what the evidence can and cannot show.
What is difference-in-differences?
It compares the change over time in the intervention group with the change in a comparison group, to estimate the programme effect.
Can you work with monitoring data from multiple sources?
Yes. We combine and clean data from surveys, registers and monitoring systems before analysis.
Do you follow OECD DAC criteria?
We can structure findings around relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability.
Can you analyse small samples?
Yes, with appropriate methods and honest caveats.
Can you help present results to stakeholders?
We can prepare charts and a summary suitable for presentations and reports.
