SayPro Tasks to Be Done for the Period
Compiled by SayPro Community Needs Assessments Research Office | Under SayPro Research Royalty
Reporting Period: April 2025
To ensure effective monitoring, evaluation, and ongoing improvement of SayPro’s community programs during the April cycle, the following tasks are to be completed by the assigned program teams and M&E staff:
Task 1: Define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Objective: Establish clear, measurable indicators that align with program goals and allow for the tracking of success throughout the month.
Description:
Each program team is required to develop or refine a set of KPIs tailored to their specific intervention focus (e.g., health, youth empowerment, education, livelihoods). These indicators will serve as benchmarks for measuring outputs, outcomes, and overall program effectiveness during the reporting period.
Activities Involved:
- Review the program’s objectives and expected outcomes
- Collaborate with the M&E team to ensure indicators are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
- Align KPIs with SayPro’s broader impact framework and reporting standards
- Differentiate between output-level indicators (e.g., number of beneficiaries trained) and outcome-level indicators (e.g., percentage of beneficiaries who apply the training)
- Submit finalized KPI list to the SayPro Research Office for approval and integration into monitoring plans
Example KPIs by Program Type:
Program | Sample KPI |
---|---|
Youth Skills Development | % of youth completing training with job placement within 30 days |
Health & Wellness | # of households reached with maternal health awareness workshops |
Livelihood & Entrepreneurship | % increase in income among supported small business owners |
