Impact assessment protocol/plan
An impact assessment plan was developed as a major document that outlines the project’s background, the preliminary design, and the implementation plan. It also outlines the inclusion criteria that were used to categorize participants, select the locations, as well as respondents at different stages of the exercise. The protocol also details the tools and data collection methods that were used. Preferences were given in terms of sample size, gender composition, and analysis and reporting methodology.
Selection of Assessment Elements
In selecting the location where the impact assessment exercise would be conducted, certain criteria were considered to maximize the data output from these sources. Based on the methodologies adopted for data collection, the Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted physically with hubs across AfriLab’s hub network. Participating hubs were selected as a complete representation of all the members of the communities including hubs that have participated in the different activities of the programme and those that have not. Hubs were chosen in different categories using the following criteria: • Hubs that have shown consistent participation in ACBP activities. • Hubs that have received the Virtual Meetup Grant (VMG) and the Capacity Building Awards (CBA). • Hubs that have not been actively participating in ACBP activities. • Hubs from both the Anglophone and francophone communities, etc.
Data Collection Methods
The Impact assessment used basic data collection methods to harvest data from participants for the assessment. The methods carried out were
• General Hub Survey • Key Informant Interviews(KIIs) • Focus Groups Discussions (FGD)
General Hub Survey
The general survey questionnaire was developed using Google form. Questions represented were intended at evaluating the importance of ACBP activities to responding hubs. Questions were also coined to reveal the outcomes of lessons learned from ACBP activities such as the Hub Learning Week (HLW), the Physical Workshop
