It requires documented evidence, complemented by verbal evidence, to be collected and analysed against these benchmarks. A score is generated for the programme's results against each standard, and as a cumulative total. To evaluate the Kenya response, the methodology comprised of the following steps:

• Presentation of methodology and process to Kenya team.
• Identification and provision of relevant documentation
• Initial analysis of documentation and identification of gaps
• Interviews/correspondence with staff and partners to obtain supplementary information.
• Assessment of all evidence against the benchmarks
• Submission of draft report to the Kenya team for review
• Final analysis and completion of evaluative report.
