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

1. Executive Summary

The revised SCRR-17 report reflects updated analysis of stakeholder feedback gathered across SayPro’s programs and initiatives. It incorporates internal team input and expert recommendations to strengthen the evaluation framework, provide more balanced interpretations, and ensure inclusive representation. This report serves to guide improvements in SayPro’s research responsiveness and stakeholder engagement.

2. Objectives

• Measure the quality and usefulness of stakeholder feedback
• Identify structural and contextual gaps in current engagement
• Recommend specific actions for making SayPro’s feedback systems more inclusive, data-driven, and representative

3. Methodology (Updated)

• Evaluation Tool: SayPro Feedback Evaluation Matrix
• Data Sources: 147 feedback submissions (Jan–Apr 2025)
• Validation: Two stakeholder focus groups and one internal feedback session
• Scoring Criteria: Relevance, Clarity, Depth, Actionability, Evidence, Representation, Constructiveness (1–5 scale)

4. Key Findings (Refined)

A. Strengths

• Clarity & Constructiveness: Most stakeholders communicated ideas clearly and respectfully.
• Relevance: 84% of submissions aligned with SayPro’s core programs.
• Trust in SayPro: Frequent positive sentiments about SayPro’s presence in communities.

B. Trends & Concerns

5. Expert Validation Outcomes

Experts highlighted that:

• The depth of feedback is often constrained by capacity or unclear prompts
• SayPro’s current tools need simpler structures for less experienced respondents
• Metrics should be calibrated to recognize context-driven limitations in rural/low-resource settings

6. Updated Recommendations

✅ Short-Term (0–3 Months)

• Revise the feedback form to include contextual prompts and encourage evidence/examples
• Translate the form into five local languages
• Pilot phone-based and paper surveys in 3 rural regions

✅ Medium-Term (3–6 Months)

• Create a feedback summary dashboard on the SayPro website with updates
• Host quarterly listening circles with marginalized stakeholders
• Train field teams to collect and interpret verbal/visual feedback

✅ Long-Term (6–12 Months)

• Institutionalize feedback impact tracking: “You said, we did” reports
• Develop a Stakeholder Feedback Inclusion Index (SFII) to measure engagement diversity
• Regularly refine matrix criteria to fit community-level input realities

7. Next Steps

• Finalize the revised SCRR-17 report and publish it with stakeholder access
• Begin implementation of revised feedback formats and validation systems in Q3
• Include results and improvements in SayPro’s June-July program reviews
