How to Collect and Analyse the Required Data

  • The enrolment indicator is recommended only if MPC is distributed at the beginning of the academic year (formal - non formal education) or at the beginning of an education program (informal, alternative education).
  • Please note it is important to define attendance in terms of the minimum number of days/month of schooling. It is recommended that the indicator includes a specific timeframe (for instance 3 months or 6 months after the MPC distribution). Determining the appropriate time frame will depend on the timing of MPC transfers vis-à-vis the school year as education spending tends to be concentrated in specific times of year. It is meaningful to measure attendance only when MPC is aligned with the school year.
  • Technical expertise required: Education and Cash specialists can provide support to M&E staff on data collection and analysis.
