UPCOMING WORKPLAN (11/06-11/07)
V. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
- Publications for this reporting period are shown in Appendix IX. Since December, 2005,
there have been 33 new and revised papers posted to the SAGA website. Of the 88 total
papers posted to the SAGA site (including conference papers and CAU reports, this total
has reached 264), 30 (of 44 total that have published) were accepted for publication in
journals and as chapters in books in 2006. For this reporting period, 23 conference
papers have also been added to the website. Additionally available on the SAGA site is
the volume of papers, Qualitative and Quantitative Methods of Poverty Analysis,
proceedings from the SAGA Workshop held in Kenya in 2004.
- SAGA researchers made 12 visits to collaborate with African colleagues during this
reporting period. Trips were made to the following countries: Senegal, 3; Ghana, 1;
Kenya, 3; South Africa, 3; Madagascar, 1; and Uganda, 1.
- As noted above in Section IV.1, the SAGA website has continued to be developed
both in terms of papers published and conferences highlighted. The impact of the website
is measured by the number of hits received and by an increasingly large number of
visitors. In the period January-October, 2006, the SAGA website registered 455,031 hits,
representing a nearly 70% increase over the number for the same period, January-October
2005 (269,260). The total number of downloads of working and conference papers
posted were 122,985 for the period January-October 2006, nearly doubling that reported
for the same period in 2005 of 65,936. See Appendix VII for a summary of website
statistics.
- Major conferences, as detailed in Section IV.2, totaled three for this reporting period – in
2006. Appendix XI provides information on these conferences as well as workshops and
other presentations.
- An USAID external evaluation of SAGA was conducted and the results reported in:

Next Steps
During the next year we will continue our quantitative monitoring of output and
activities, including:
- Number of publications
- Number of visits by SAGA researchers and small grants coordinator to collaborate with
African colleagues and vice versa
- Number of hits on SAGA websites
- Number of workshops/conferences and presentations by SAGA
