Thread:Impact Assessment of BDS and Training Programmes (3)

Dear Jealous,

Thanks for this interesting topic again.

Apart from The DCED recommended universal indicators on private sector development. Generally  the following key indicators are common for the propose of the BDS impact assessment. Most of them are already reflected in your discussion question above.

•	Number of BDS providers recruited, •	Number of support actions identified

•	Number of trainers and facilitators trained,

•	Number of courses held,

•	Number of trainees participating in the training

•	Number of transactions and amount of the transactions

•	Type of BDS services provided/offered

Methodology: In our case before any interventions, we use to develop result chain logic/intervention logic (with clear indicators on Inputs, outputs ,outcomes and impacts).Control group mechanism is one of the best approach to compare the results
