Improved understanding on CYM rights and migration contexts

Indicator ID M1
Indicator full statement

% of surveyed key stakeholders that have gained understanding of migration context, local realities and CYM rights and needs.

Purpose

Importance

This indicator aims to measure the learning benefits of information/knowledge/ training activities organised by Tdh on migration.
ToC pathway

ToC pathway 1 – Information/prevention of risks.
Related services

Awareness-raising and information, production and dissemination of specific information and knowledge on children and youth in migration, e-learning.

Definition

  • Key stakeholders: Two target groups are considered here:

o   professionals, i.e members of NGOS (including Tdh staff), CBOs, local authorities, social workers engaged with CYM.

o   children and youth affected by migration members of youth-movements or youth-initiatives.

  • Example of information activities: awareness-raising sessions, workshops, learning events, trainings, public events, conferences. Example: Training of Trainers -quality of services dedicated to CYM in Guinea  (Kit du formateur V-ENG.pdf)

How to collect & analyse the data

What do we count?

Tdh counts individuals.

How to calculate the indicator's value

Percentage is calculated as follows:

  • Numerator: number of people (or sample of surveyed people) who demonstrate better knowledge and understanding on migration related issues when filling evaluation tools.

  • Denominator: total number (or sample) of people who filled evaluation tools after having participated in information activities.

Process:

  1. Define a limited number of the most important knowledge content that the participants should gain or master as a result of the intervention.

  2. Prepare a simple test or questionnaire assessing the existing knowledge of the targeted participants (*)

  3. Calculate individual scores at pre-test.

  4. Reproduce the test in the end, calculate post-scores and compare progression by individuals.

In case it is not possible to do a pre-test:

  1. Decide the minimum scoring a person needs to reach in order to pass the test (for example, answering at least 7 out of 10 knowledge-related questions correctly).

  2. Administer the test to (a representative sample of) your target group members.

  3. Calculate how many participants reached the minimum required result.

  4. Divide the number of participants who have the minimum required knowledge/skills by the total number of tested participants. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
Data sources

Participants in information, training activities.
Data collection methods and tools

Pre/post assessment (through surveys, written or digital test, that can be play-like or more scholar depending on the public, context, and type of information) on a representative’ sample of beneficiaries. You can be creative if more formal / scholar approaches may not work.
Example of survey questions

Those questions should always be contextualized according to the content of your information/training programs. Consult the Migration context analysis tool to establish your questions.

  1. Wording: what does migrant, asylum seeker and refugee mean?

  2. What is the main migration profile of your country? (Answer categories can be for ex: Origin, transit, destination, + international vs internal + forced displacement vs economic migration)

  3. Migration policy: What are the main national laws and regulations in your country? (Examples of categories: Migration law, ratification of international conventions, asylum laws, any local integration policy)

  4. Main implications of migration: What are the main specific needs in the migrant children and youth population in the context of your country?  Examples of answer: Access to education, legal status, protection, employment, information, legal aid, access to health services (those needs will vary according to the country, to be contextualized).
Disaggregation

Gender and age group.

Limitations and precautions

  • This indicator should not be confused with the number of people reached by Tdh intervention.  You must proceed to a knowledge acquisition check.

  • This indicator differs from P.18 (# of CYM, families and community members + key stakeholders who understand the risks and opportunities associated to migration) which targets other publics and other topics.

  • If possible, conduct both a “pre-test” and “post-test”, otherwise you will not know exactly the extent to which the respondents improved (or not) their knowledge.

  • If not possible, the post-test will enable you to only assess whether the key minimal content has been mastered by participants.  It is less accurate but can still be accepted. 

  • You may add questions to assess whether this knowledge acquired is due to Tdh intervention (see example)

  • Do not adopt an approach that would be too “school-like”.  Also include satisfaction questions and questions about participants’ perspectives vis-à-vis the information activity and migration issue in your survey,

What further analysis are we interested in?

What are persistent knowledge gaps or attitudinal resistance? For which publics?
