  • SayPro plans to enhance stakeholder engagement by sharing accessible data reports quarterly.

    SayPro Stakeholder Engagement Enhancement Plan

    SayPro is dedicated to fostering stronger collaboration and transparency with its stakeholders. To support this, SayPro plans to share accessible, user-friendly data reports on a quarterly basis.


    ๐Ÿ“… Reporting Schedule

    • Data reports will be prepared and disseminated every quarter, aligned with the end of each fiscal quarter.
    • Reports will summarize key program performance metrics, insights, and progress toward strategic goals.

    ๐Ÿ“Š Report Accessibility

    • Reports will be designed for clarity and ease of understanding, using visualizations, summaries, and plain language.
    • They will be available through:
      • The SayPro website platform,
      • Email distributions to key partners,
      • Stakeholder meetings and webinars.

    ๐ŸŽฏ Objectives

    • Increase stakeholder awareness of program achievements and challenges.
    • Encourage data-driven dialogue and collaborative problem-solving.
    • Build trust and accountability through regular, transparent communication.

    โœ… Follow-Up

    • Feedback channels will be established for stakeholders to respond to reports.
    • Insights from stakeholder feedback will inform future reporting improvements and program adjustments.
  • SayPro targets a minimum 90% data completeness rate.

    ๐ŸŽฏ Target Definition

    • Data Completeness refers to the proportion of required data fields that are fully and accurately filled out in each dataset submitted by project teams.
    • The 90% threshold applies to:
      • All mandatory fields (e.g., participant ID, age, gender, activity date, attendance).
      • All active projects across regions and program types.
      • Quarterly and monthly submissions.

    ๐Ÿ“Œ Monitoring Process

    • Data completeness will be reviewed during the monthly and quarterly M&E review cycles.
    • Incomplete submissions will be flagged and returned for correction within 3 working days.
    • Persistent gaps may trigger additional training or escalation to regional management.

    โœ… Compliance Tools

    • Use of SayPro Data Collection Template with built-in validation.
    • Support from SayPro M&E Officers and IT Team to troubleshoot submission issues.
    • Random sample checks and automated dashboards to monitor completeness rates in real time.

    ๐Ÿ† Performance Recognition

    Projects consistently meeting or exceeding the 90% completeness target will be:

    • Highlighted in quarterly M&E reports.
    • Considered for internal performance awards or recognition.

  • SayPro expects data from all active projects within the quarter, segmented by region and program type.

    ๐Ÿ” Segmentation Requirements

    1. By Region:
      Data must be disaggregated by geographical region (e.g., Gauteng, Limpopo, Eastern Cape, etc.).
    2. By Program Type:
      Projects must categorize data under specific program themes such as:
      • Youth Skills Development
      • Digital Literacy
      • Employment Support
      • Health & Wellness
      • Community Engagement

    ๐Ÿ“… Submission Timeline

    • Quarterly data must be submitted no later than 5 working days after the quarter ends (e.g., for Q2 ending June 30, the deadline is July 5).
    • Late submissions must be accompanied by an explanatory note and may delay integration into quarterly reports.

    ๐Ÿ“ Submission Format

    • Use the standardized SayPro Excel Data Collection Template.
    • Ensure data is cleaned and validated before submission.
    • Upload to the SayPro Website Platform or designated shared drive folder for your region.

    ๐Ÿ“ž Support Contact

    For any issues with the format, segmentation, or upload process, contact:
    M&E Helpdesk at me-support@saypro.org or your Regional M&E Coordinator.

  • SayPro Data Cleaning Checklist

    โœ… SayPro Data Cleaning Checklist

    ๐Ÿ“… Before Cleaning: Preparation

    • Confirm all raw data files have been received (Excel, CSV, system exports).
    • Back up the original data files.
    • Ensure consistent formatting across datasets (e.g., column names, units, date formats).
    • Review the data dictionary or variable definitions for alignment.

    ๐Ÿ” Step 1: Structural Checks

    • Are all required columns present (e.g., Participant ID, Date, Region)?
    • Are there any extra or duplicated columns?
    • Are the headers clearly labeled and consistent?
    • Remove any blank rows or extra spacing.

    ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Step 2: Duplicate Check

    • Check for and remove exact duplicate rows.
    • Check for partial duplicates (e.g., same name and date but different ID).
    • Confirm which duplicate to retain based on accuracy or timestamp.

    โŒ Step 3: Missing Data

    • Identify missing values in key fields (e.g., age, region, attendance).
    • Flag rows with incomplete data for follow-up or exclusion.
    • Apply agreed-upon method for handling missing data:
      • Impute (mean, median, or category)
      • Leave blank (if non-critical)
      • Remove (if data is unreliable)

    ๐Ÿ“ Step 4: Data Type & Format Validation

    • Ensure numbers are numeric and dates are in correct format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD).
    • Standardize text entries (e.g., โ€œgautengโ€ โ†’ โ€œGautengโ€).
    • Check dropdown values against validation lists (e.g., Gender = Male/Female/Other only).
    • Ensure consistent units (e.g., all scores on 1โ€“5 scale).

    ๐Ÿ”ข Step 5: Logical Consistency Checks

    • Verify date sequences (e.g., Start Date is before End Date).
    • Ensure age range falls within expected bounds (e.g., 15โ€“35 for youth programs).
    • Confirm all attendance and module completions match program schedules.
    • Cross-check regional and district combinations.

    ๐Ÿงฉ Step 6: Categorical Data Standardization

    • Standardize categories (e.g., โ€œYesโ€, โ€œyesโ€, โ€œYโ€ โ†’ โ€œYesโ€).
    • Remove typos and inconsistent spellings (e.g., โ€œFreestateโ€ โ†’ โ€œFree Stateโ€).
    • Apply consistent naming conventions for activities or modules.

    ๐Ÿ“‰ Step 7: Outlier Detection

    • Identify and review outliers (e.g., ages over 50, scores above 5).
    • Investigate whether outliers are valid or entry errors.
    • Correct, explain, or remove extreme outliers based on context.

    ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Step 8: Documentation

    • Log all cleaning actions in a Data Cleaning Log (what was changed, why, and by whom).
    • Record assumptions made during cleaning (e.g., assumptions about missing values).
    • Save a cleaned version of the dataset with a new filename and version number.

    ๐Ÿงช Step 9: Final Quality Review

    • Conduct a peer review or second-check of the cleaned data.
    • Run basic summary statistics to confirm data integrity (e.g., totals, averages).
    • Validate a random sample against original sources if needed.

    ๐Ÿ”’ Step 10: Secure Storage

    • Store the cleaned dataset in the designated SayPro shared folder or platform.
    • Update file naming convention (e.g., SayPro_YouthData_Cleaned_June2025_v2.xlsx).
    • Archive both raw and cleaned data securely for traceability.

    ๐Ÿ“Ž Optional: Tools to Support Cleaning

    • Excel (filters, data validation, conditional formatting)
    • Power Query (for merging, transforming, cleaning large data)
    • Python/Pandas or R (for automated cleaning workflows)
    • SayPro M&E Dashboard (for integrated data checks)
  • SayPro Data Collection Template (Excel format)

    • Dashboards are typically stored in a centralized M&E repository or cloud platform (e.g., SharePoint, Google Drive).
    • Access is role-based: M&E staff, program managers, strategy teams.
    • Periodic presentations during SCMR meetings leverage dashboard insights.
