14.45. Presentation MVSC Development Team Example 14.50: Now in pairs, do one for your project or organisation. Together identify the overall aim of your project, some specific aims then some activities. Language: middle section use words to describe change: e.g. to increase; promote; improve; reduce; enable; develop Bottom section use words such as: provide organise run etc. There is information in your packs on how to produce a triangle. Go round. Everyone happy? Why does this matter? It’s a lot easier to monitor and evaluate a project if you know what you intend it to achieve in the first place!
15.45: Presentation and example Indicator – gives evidence of progress towards aims. Take one activity as an example: MVSC training programme. Outputs: Numbers of courses; number of people attending; number of different groups who attended (e.g. if targeted at specific groups) The output performance indicator could be the number of bookings and who has booked e.g target group. Outcomes: aims were to improve the governance of vol orgs and to have a better funded and informed voluntary sector. Are we on the way to achieving this? Indicators: People who attend the courses say their groups are now more efficient and their committees understand their roles and responsibilities. More successful funding applications are submitted, so groups are becoming better resourced People attending training sessions are becoming more confident at managing their organisations as they have the relevant information. In twos: take one activity and a related aim and discuss with your partner what a couple of indicators could be for each. Worth remembering SMART: Relate to setting targets, but equally appropriate when setting performance indicators) Specific (clear, easily understood), Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-limited
