“Taking advantage of numbers for effective decision-making”

2. SESSION OBJECTIVES
At the end of the session, the participants are expected to:
Discuss the basics and nuances in making Work Financial Plan (WFP) and M&E Plan;
Explain how to prepare and use appropriately tools such as: S-CURVE, Trend Analysis, all types of Graphical Presentation in analyzing quantitative data and tracking progress of a particular program, project and activity;
Develop deeper understanding on the importance of .quantitative tools in preparing Completed Staff Work (CSW) for MEPA.

3. ACTIVITY: Self-Assessment
Direction: Assess how knowledgeable and competent you are in making necessary plans for MEPA and in using quantitative tools in the preparation of CSW for MEPA, using the following rating scale:
1 – Developing 3 – Advanced
2 - Maturing
No.
Quantitative Tools
I have adequate knowledge and have already crafted/used:
Pre-test
Post-test 1
Work Financial Plan (WFP) 2 3
M&E Plan
S-Curve 4
Data Trend Analysis 5
All types of graphical presentation
Total Score
Level of Competence

4. How is your assessment result?
Directions:
Sum-up the total score and divide it by 5.
2. Determine your level of competence based on the table below:
Numerical
Rating
Descriptive Rating
Interpretation
Developing
You are still in the process of acquiring the skill; hence, you need Technical Assistance.
Maturing
You have acquired the skill to a larger extent, but you need to enhance it further.
Advanced
Congratulations! You have fully acquired the skill to a largest extent, you are very much ready to prepare CSW for MEPA.

5. ANALYSIS How did you find the activity?
What is your level of competence?
What facilitating/hindering factors contributed for having such level?
Which specific tool do you need more TA?
Why do you need to have high level of competence in all these quantitative tools?

6. DASHBOARD: QUALITY (1st Quarter)
Focus on DepEd’s KPIs on QUALITY: NAT, CR, SReA, EGRA, Phil IRI, NCAE
Review on the bottlenecks of all PPAs vis-à-vis “PRODUCING CHILDREN WITH QUALITY LEARNING”
Leading review to a more systematic and systemic analysis of DepEd policies on quality

7. DASHBOARD: ACCESS (2nd Quarter)
Focus on DepEd’s KPI on ACCESS:
- SMEPA: Enrolment Rate (Community Mapping), Attendance
- DMEPA: Enrolment Rate, Enrolment Pattern
- RMEPA: Participation Rate, GER, Enrolment Pattern
Review on the bottlenecks of all PPAs vis-à-vis “KEEPING ALL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL”

- RMEPA: NAT, PR, GER, CSR, SLR
Review on the bottlenecks of all PPAs vis-à-vis “KEEPING ALL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL & PRODUCING WITH QUALITY LEARNING”
Leading review to a more systematic and systemic analysis of DepEd policies on quality & access.

10. M&E TOOLS: QUANTITATIVE
Work Financial Plan (WFP)
M&E Plan
S-CURVE – to determine Physical & Financial Accomplishment based on WFP (Actual vs Target)
Trend Analysis
Graphical Presentation

11. Work Financial Plan (WFP)
It is crafted to make the PPAs of the Implementation Plan (AIP) easy to realize.
It is the basis in determining Physical and Financial accomplishment
The Actual vs Target of the physical and financial aspect of the WFP is clearly indicated.
Without this, no objective M&E can be undertaken

12. M&E Plan It is based on the WFP.
The M&E Plan is based both from the Physical and Financial Target
The S-Curve is determined both from the Physical and Financial Target

13. S-CURVE
It is the graphical presentation of the status of the implementation of the Physical and Financial Target
It can be determined by getting the difference between Actual and Target
This tool can provide the Physical and Financial Accomplishment of the implementation of the WFP

14. Trend Analysis - % of Increase/Decrease
A Technique used to determine whether the KPIs is increasing, decreasing or fluctuating
Percentage of Increase is used.
Through this, decision-maker can be able to spot which KPI can be the focused of priority in terms of providing strategic directions

15. GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION
Effective tool to present the trend of the KPIs for the last three or five years.
Varied types can be used: Bar Graph, Line Graph, Picto Graph, Pie Graph
Each type of graph serves a specific purpose

16. APPLICATION 1. Perform any of the following:
S-CURVE of your Physical and Financial Accomplishment
Graph of the trend of your KPIs for the last three years
2. Make a simple analysis of your graph.
