Research, Monitoring & Evaluation

Case studies

Young people’s involvement in politics

Our client wished to conduct a large scale formative and summative evaluation of a Big Lottery Funded project aimed at increasing the understanding of the political system among young people with learning disabilities.   With Marilyn Doyle and Michelle Virgo of the Zebra Collective, we designed, implemented and reported a variety of participative methodologies, including peer interviewing, participatory workshops, paired interviewing and textual analysis of the proceedings of the Welsh Assembly.  Young people with learning disabilities were supported to conduct interviews with Assembly Members, and the evaluation culminated in workshops conducted with young people with LD, and Assembly Members.

Meeting the needs of an online community

The Swiss Academy for Development  wished to conduct an evaluation of a web based internet community (the International Platform for Sport and Development).  We designed, implemented and reported an online survey, and made recommendations regarding how the website was serving the organisation’s strategy. We also created a segmentation of users using a CHAID analysis.

Developing an Impact Evaluation Toolkit

Laureus Sport for Good Foundation funds 150 Sport for Development organisations globally. They wished to build capacity within their project network by creating a common monitoring and evaluation toolkit.  Over a period of two years, OCR, with Alison Woodcock of Royal Holloway University of London, created, piloted and refined a quantitative toolkit for sport for development organisations.  The global rollout of this toolkit is now underway.

International Sport for Development Platform

In collaboration with Alison Woodcock (RHUL), we completed our evaluation of the International Sport for Development Platform for the Swiss Academy for Development, and submitted our report to the board.  We were heartened by the response of platform members to our online survey, and we were able to make strategic recommendations for the future of the platform based on solid evidence.
