Analysis plan Provides guidance on: what data to collect (against objectives and defined indicators) how to collect them – Primary/secondary sources – Quantitative/qualitative process (tool used) what types of analyses will be required to interpret them Efficiency: Only useful information is collected. Time is not wasted in collection of information that will not help achieve the assessment objectives and will not be used. Thoroughness: Ensures that all the necessary information is collected. Feasibility: Provides overview on – if it is possible to collect data as planned/proposed OUTLINE METHODOLOGY AND ANALYSIS PLAN
