SayPro Evaluation Report: SCRR-17 – Research Relevance and Depth

Date: May 2025
Compiled by: SayPro Legislative Impact Assessments Research Office

1. Executive Summary

This report presents initial findings from the SCRR-17 initiative, which evaluates the relevance and depth of stakeholder feedback across SayPro’s programs, initiatives, and research activities. Using the SayPro Feedback Evaluation Matrix, submissions were reviewed for quality, actionability, and strategic alignment.

2. Objectives of SCRR-17

• Assess how relevant and insightful stakeholder feedback has been.
• Identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the feedback process.
• Provide recommendations for improving feedback mechanisms and data collection.

3. Methodology

• Tools Used: SayPro Feedback Evaluation Matrix (7 criteria, rated 1–5)
• Sources Reviewed: 120+ feedback submissions from Jan–Apr 2025
• Review Method: Manual and assisted scoring; trend and theme coding

4. Key Findings

A. Common Themes Identified

• Strong call for localized program adaptation
• Requests for greater transparency in communication
• High value placed on training and economic opportunity linkages

B. Trends in Feedback Quality

C. Underrepresented Stakeholder Groups

• Youth with disabilities
• Remote rural communities
• Informal sector workers

5. Gaps and Challenges

• Limited data support in responses reduces analytical value
• Feedback loop closure missing: respondents unaware of outcomes
• Access inequity: Online tools may exclude some stakeholders
• Over-representation of urban and partner-driven input

6. Preliminary Recommendations

1. Enhance Feedback Templates: Include prompts for evidence and suggestions.
2. Expand Outreach: Target rural and underserved populations in future collection rounds.
3. Close the Loop: Implement a formal system to report back to contributors.
4. Diversify Input Channels: Combine digital forms with voice notes, SMS, or local workshops.

7. Next Steps

• Conduct deeper qualitative analysis on high-scoring feedback
• Initiate follow-ups with teams who submitted low-detail entries
• Integrate findings into mid-year strategic review
