Evaluación externa de la Secretaria Ejecutiva de SIGNIS ALC

Jaime Carril Rojas, Cristóbal Morales Abarca

Quito: Signis América Latina y Caribe;Adveniat (2021), 95 pp.

"En relación con el fortalecimiento de la Red SIGNIS ALC en América Latina y el Caribe y al apoyo a los integrantes de la Red SIGNIS ALC y sus propuestas. Se puede afirmar que la nueva estructuración de la organización asumida en abril 2017 ha permitido un reenfoque estratégico de SIGNIS ALC. L ... ogros: - Un incipiente reconocimiento de SIGNIS ALC en las distintas orgánicas de la iglesia católico-latinoamericana, entre ellas el CELAM y algunas Universidades Católicas AL. - Una mejor articulación con diversas áreas de SIGNIS Mundial y un impulso a temáticas de interés de las organizaciones nacionales de SIGNIS ALC, temas como “cuidado de casa común”, “jóvenes”, y “comunicación comunitaria”. Estos enfoques son altamente compartidos entre los directivos de las entidades SIGNIS nacionales. - El 90% de las directivas nacionales valoran el papel actual de coordinación de la Secretaria Ejecutiva de SIGNIS ALC en relación con las actividades de comunicación y articulación de información de las acciones de realizan las nacionales y SIGNIS ALC. - La S.E. tuvo la capacidad para adaptar la ejecución de los programas en la situación de pandemia, alcanzando en sus programas, buenos niveles de participación local-regional. Debilidades: - Aunque los temas actuales que trabaja SIGNIS ALC están en sintonía con los interés de las directivas locales, pero se evidencia que hay una insuficiencia en la S.E. para detectar, valorar y articular iniciativas que surjan o puedan partir desde las organizaciones nacionales. Esto se produce ya que no existe desde la S.E. un mecanismo orgánico, explícito, permanente y sistemático que permita recoger las inquietudes o necesidades de acciones y proyectos de signis nacionales. - Muchas acciones o programas no logran bajar a las realidad, al no disponer de un seguimiento y presupuesto efectivo para una segunda fase; estos no logran implementarse en este nivel local (social) en los países de las asociadas. (Esto genera un sentimiento de alta expectativas pero que tiene bajos logros). Por ello es necesario identificar en los proyectos de forma realista “indicadores de logros detallados” de las acciones para acotar mejor (eficacia) la forma para impactar. - Aunque hay logros en los esfuerzos y resultados que pudo aumentar los ingresos para los proyectos de SIGNIS ALC en el periodo estudiado, y así como para la propia S.E., falta en que la S.E. realice un real impulso de fundraising que permita escalar la capacidad de sostenibilidad, orientada a apoyar a las asociadas locales de SIGNIS ALC. - A la vez, cuando hay muchos temas e intenciones declarados, y no es posible de abordar dado la organización y los recursos financieros actualmente disponible; lo mismo se trasluce en la plataforma digital; se requiere que la S.E SIGNIS ALC impulse una focalización identitaria para lograr incidencia."

Can media campaigns change attitudes and spark actions to reduce early child marriage? Impact evaluation of breakthrough’s early marriage campaign in Jharkhand and Bihar states of India

Raghunathan N., Leena Sushant, Siddhi Mankad

New Delhi: International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) (2021), vi, 45 pp.

"A clustered randomized trial in two states of India examines alternate strategies to reduce child marriage, increase girls' education and change gender attitudes. GPs were randomized into four treatment and one control group in a 1:1:1:2:2 ratio. The GP level intervention from November 2012 deliver ... ed to treatment groups i) A Full Package, comprising mass-media, training and community mobilization programs; ii) a Training Package comprising a combination of mass media and a training program at the block level; iii) a Community Mobilization Package comprising a combination of mass-media and a community mobilization program; iv) and an only Mass Media program. Data from 2,542 households seven years after the start of the program shows that the intervention made significant improvements in impact indicators on girls' education and incidence and age at marriage. As compared to the control GPs, the Full Package intervention increased the age at marriage for girls aged 13-25 on an average by 6.5 months and their education by 9 months. The Full Package also increased the percentage of girls enrolled in school by an additional 9% over the level that control group achieved (92% in Full Package vs 83% in Control Group). The program impacts were similar after controlling for stratification and other household and GP level characteristics. We found that the intervention made an outcome indicator - gender attitudes - more progressive; GP with Full Package had a 0.407 standard deviation (equivalent to approximately 16%) higher gender attitude index than control GPs (p < 0.01). The measure of attitudes is an index of aggregated indices on gender equality, education, marriage, mobility and knowledge. Attitude change was larger for education and mobility indices. For example, the households in the Full Package had 0.26 and 0.33 standard deviations more positive attitude towards girls’ education and mobility than control GPs. We did not find any significant effect on attitudes pertaining to marriage and girl’s work and responsibility. There is little change in norms related to gender roles within the home and education has mostly been perceived as a vehicle for better management of the home, rather than for empowering women to work and be independent."

Common Service Evaluation: What Role Has the Common Service Played in Helping Agencies Communicate with Rohingya and Host Communities During the Covid-19 Pandemic?

Nicola Bailey, Nushrat Mehjabin, Sifati Tamanna

London: BBC Media Action (2021), 51 pp.

"The common service for community engagement and accountability, through its consortium members BBC Media Action and Translators Without Borders (TWB), aims to help agencies and sectors working to support Rohingya refugees and local host communities living in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh to achieve thi ... s by providing a range of specialist, technical support services. Movement restrictions implemented since the beginning of the pandemic meant that humanitarian programmes were reduced to essential services only in the Rohingya camps, community engagement efforts were restricted, and many initiatives planned for the host community were cancelled. The common service adapted its activities in a number of ways: carrying out online training sessions with practitioners; conducting telephone research with communities; shifting the focus of communication products to meet communities’ information needs around Covid-19; and working with partners to use communication channels which would ensure information was still able to reach communities [...] This evaluation has shown that practitioners feel the common service played a critical role in getting important information to Rohingya communities during this time. It did this through: - Helping partner agencies understand Rohingya communitiesf perspectives and concerns, and how to communicate with them, based on up to date research and a cultural understanding developed over time (using What Matters? as a vehicle for sharing this information, as well as providing practitioner training and bespoke advice). - Creating and disseminating audio and visual content which is easy for Rohingya people to understand, and helps volunteers and field staff communicate effectively with them. - Working in partnership with humanitarian agencies to adapt communication strategies and make sure information was reaching people despite Covid-19 restrictions, for example adapting audio programmes to be played through mosque loudspeaker systems; training Imams to communicate on Covid-19; ensuring content is played at food distribution points and other essential services; and equipping community health workers with simple and effective communication materials about Covid-19 to use in door to door visits."
