Sigmah Project: Post-Evaluation Analysis and Action Plan

Sigmah is the product of a participatory project run by a group of aid organisations. Since the project was launched, these organisations have depended on the expertise of Groupe URD and its professional and volunteer partners to develop the software so that it meets their needs, and to make this commonly owned asset available to all.

As is true for any innovation, the project has involved risk-taking, investment, promotion, mobilization, re-evaluation, dealing with the unexpected, dealing with problems, etc. The Sigmah Project Evaluation was carried out to establish the strengths and weaknesses not only of the software, but also of the broader project, and to analyse certain structural difficulties that have been encountered. Sharing the issues raised by the evaluation is a way for us to practice what we preach when we are the evaluator, and thus contribute to learning within the sector.
