Appraisals

StrategyHouse.dk helps our clients with appraisals. We assess your programme, project or process to judge its quality, success or needs.

For example this could include:

  • an appraisal of the preparation process prior to project start-up
  • an appraisal of the programme’s compliance with mission, vision, values, policies and strategies
  • an appraisal of a project to compare its ability and options to deliver an objective
  • an appraisal of programme design, programme modality and management, as well as partner framework and the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, risk assessment, sustainability, budget, and recommendations.

 

Policy Formulations

StrategyHouse.dk is dedicated to helping our clients with developing policy formulations. Amongst other things, we help you:

  • build partnerships and alliances, and support work across the relevant sectors in a comprehensive manner
  • raise awareness – awareness raising efforts for policy formulations are often important to putting a strong focus on the community level. It is also important that governments and institutions support grassroots’ leaderships.
  • organise preparatory stakeholder forums and draft clear, comprehensive and authoritative reports, with recommendations that form a solid basis for a productive and formal draft of the agreed conclusions.

Strategic Planning and Design

Strategic planning is an organisational management activity and an organisation’s process of defining its strategy or direction. It is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations and in particular to ensure that board, management, employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals.

StrategyHouse.dk assist partners in establishing agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assesses and adjust your organisation’s direction in response to a changing environment.

Strategic planning activities may include:

  • meetings and other communication among the organisation’s leaders to identify and create a shared understanding of the desired direction
  • workshops with staff to develop a rich context analysis of the competitive environment and what the organisation’s response to that environment (its strategy) should be.
  • a variety of strategic planning tools may be developed and used as part of strategic planning activities, e.g. PEST and SWOT analyses, scenario planning, visioning exercises, etc.

Reviews and Evaluations

Most projects include an evaluation component and strive to learn from the past experiences. StrategyHouse.dk works with partners to ensure a participatory and joint learning process, be it in the form of reviews, evaluations or end line studies. We facilitate evaluations with clients who are willing to engage  in evaluation and reflection processes that can truly inform their next actions.

StrategyHouse.dk has carried evaluations for NGOs, insitutions and bilateral donors in Central Asia, Africa, Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
