PAN Localization Phase II
Users
- PAN L10n project Teams, GEMII, IDRC, ICT4D practitioners, regional organizations
Evaluation Questions
- To what extend has PAN Localization project contributed to promote digital literacy, especially for women in the region(status/roles, beneficiaries)
Type: Impact/Outcome
Methodology: OM
User: PAN L10n project Teams, GEMII, IDRC, ICT4D practitioners, regional organizations
Uses: Scaling up on similar initiatives, developing similar projects
- To what extend do OM & GEM integrate in localization projects and how does it operationalized
Question type: Process/ Ev. Research
Methodology: Experience Report on doing the integration for PAN Localization project
Users: other PAN partners, Evaluation Community
Uses: A test case on integration of OM and GEM
- How effective is the network modality for implementing/coordinating the research activities of PANL10n
Question type: Model/Approach
Methodology: Contributing & Reporting findingd to the comparatives study being undertaken by PAN
Users: PAN, PAN Networks: PANDORA, PANACEA
Uses: Help understand network modalities and dynamics, to help design future regional projects
- To what extent has the project been able to keep gender balance in the project teams (roles, quality of participation and no. within the team).
Methodology: OM
Users: PAN L10n project Teams, GEMII, IDRC
Uses: To learn and improve equity in project design and implementation
Notes
Clarification:
- Meta Evaluation = evaluation of a methodology
- What’s strong in the methodology: people are forced to use multiple methods, synergies and disparaties.
- Areas of Improvement: how to do an ev, delphi technique, competency for Om and GEM, apply it, through proving also, meta evaluation checklist, american evaluation,michael checklist, diary of log, probems, outcome mapping couoldnot do and GEM coudnt, run a reflection
Next Steps
Short term
- Refine the Evaluation questions and the methodology to follow
- Design monitoring data collection tool
- implement the tool
- test the tool for data collection by country teams
Long term
- Finalize the for integration of OM and GEM
- Test is with the country Teams
- collect data on applicability of the framework in localization projects
- Lessons learnt (challenges, gaps, success points) in terms of testing theframework in country components
Buzz Group – OM1) General aspects that you find appealing:

- Design and participatory approach
- Flexibility
2 – General aspects you find challenging or that are not yet clear
- Participatory – works well face-to-face difficult if done virtually
- Organizational practices

3 – Pressing questions or comments in relation to if / how the approach may be practically applied in your project context:
- Participatory – works well face-to-face- difficult if done virtually
- Training support
- Lost in translation/localization
Buzz Group – MSC
1) General aspects that you find appealing:
- Inductive reasoning
- Feedback loop from beneficiaries program itself
2) General aspects you find challenging or that are not yet clear:
- Interview technique
- Methodology (freq- sampling)
- Domains of change (more clarification)
3) Pressing questions or comments in relation to if / how the approach may be practically applied in your project context:

- Generalizing the findings across country partner organizations
Buzz Group GEM
1) General aspects that you find appealing:
- Gender analysis
- Gender segregation of date/respondents
- Gender and Evaluation are essential for practical data depiction
2) General aspects you find challenging or that are not yet clear:
- Find out gender issues within a community
- The tool methodology needs to clarified in terms on how to what
3) Pressing questions or comments in relation to if / how the approach may be practically applied in your project context:
- GEM can be evaluated in its usability/ adoption in context of localization projects.
- Gender and ICT issues.
