Ghana Rural Integrated Development Episode 4, Part 2: Dr. Wand discusses flaws in their Performance Measurement Framework and provides solutions.

In this Part 2 of Episode 4, Dr. Wand discusses flaws in the Ghana Rural Integrated Development international development organization https://grid-nea.org/ Performance Measurement Framework PMF for its $1,337,797 project in Ghana entitled Improving the Well-Being of Rural Women and Girls in Ghana. Dr. Wand concludes that their PMF is not sufficient to support GRID's claim that it has achieved its project outcomes. He propose solutions on how to improve the evaluation of the project. Finally, Dr. Wand invites listeners to receive a copy of the PMF and his summary critique of the project's outcome indicators by emailing him at evaluatecanadaaid@gmail.com. In order to improve development evaluation, Dr. Wand recommends that all PMFs should be made available to the public on the Global Affairs Canada project browser and that all organizations use the solutions discussed on this episode when designing their PMFs. Further details about this GRID project can be found at https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/P005964001. Notice that the PMF for this project is not available on the Global Affairs Canada project browser!!!
