Submitted to: SayPro Economic Impact Studies Research Office
Prepared by: SayPro Legislative Impact Assessments Research Office
Date: May 2025

1. Executive Summary

The SCRR-17 initiative critically evaluated stakeholder feedback related to SayPro’s programs, policies, and research initiatives. The findings affirm a strong commitment among stakeholders to SayPro’s mission, while also identifying specific areas where engagement and feedback mechanisms must evolve to be more inclusive, actionable, and evidence-informed.

2. Background & Objectives

SCRR-17 was launched to:

• Analyze the relevance and depth of collected stakeholder feedback
• Ensure SayPro’s research efforts are grounded in community-responsive input
• Align feedback mechanisms with the economic impact, social development, and policy design goals of SayPro

3. Methodology

• Evaluation Tool: SayPro Feedback Evaluation Matrix (7 criteria, scored 1–5)
• Data Reviewed: 147 submissions (Jan–Apr 2025)
• Validation: Two stakeholder workshops, internal team reviews, and expert consultation
• Analytical Focus: Thematic coding, scoring averages, representation mapping

4. Key Findings

Strengths:

• 84% relevance alignment to program objectives
• Clear articulation in 73% of feedback entries
• High trust indicators from long-term partners and participants

Concerns:

• Low evidence quality (avg. score: 1.8/5)
• Underrepresentation from rural and marginalized voices
• Limited actionability of broad or emotional submissions
• No systemic feedback loop to communicate actions taken

5. Stakeholder Validation Results

• Feedback confirmed by 40+ stakeholders during review workshops
• Validated themes: trust in SayPro, desire for deeper participation, and improved communication
• Adjustments made to highlight youth with disabilities and informal worker insights

6. Recommendations

A. Engagement System Enhancements

• Multi-language, multi-platform submission formats (digital + SMS + in-person)
• Community liaisons for low-literacy or disconnected regions
• Feedback acknowledgement system (“You said, we did”)

B. Data Quality and Analysis Improvements

• Revise feedback forms with evidence prompts and scoring rubrics
• Build internal capacity to review unstructured data (voice, visual, notes)
• Encourage participatory analysis during stakeholder engagements

C. Monitoring and Evaluation Integration

• Develop a Feedback Inclusion Index
• Track feedback implementation in economic impact studies and quarterly reports
• Align future SCRR initiatives with SayPro’s legislative and economic research cycles

7. Submission Notes

• All supporting documents (matrix scores, raw submissions, validation transcripts) are appended to this report
• A slide deck and executive summary have been created for presentation to SayPro leadership
