Governance Assessment
• The District APRM Governance Assessment Project is an action research process designed to investigate the state of governance and service delivery at the district level.
• The core components of the District APRM Governance Project are a survey of perceptions of Members of District Assemblies, Public Servants, Traditional Authority and Citizens.
![Page 5: ANNUAL MULTI DONOR BUDGET SUPPORT (MDBS) JOINT REVIEW 2010 APRM ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fac550346895dbd68fe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Governance Assessment
• Its uniqueness lies in its ability to offer a non-technical and civil society inclusive approach to district assembly performance that is able to compare both quantified and perception based data.
![Page 6: ANNUAL MULTI DONOR BUDGET SUPPORT (MDBS) JOINT REVIEW 2010 APRM ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fac550346895dbd68fe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Assessment Methodology• The District APRM Oversight Committees collect both
qualitative and quantitative data using a number of methodologies – focus group discussions, administration of Citizen Report Cards, key informant interviews, etc.
• Members undertake a collation and analysis of the data and prepare a district APRM Governance Report
• The reports generated through the monitoring and evaluation activities of the DOCs are presented to forums at the district level for validation.
• The validated reports are then laid before the District Assembly for debate.
