Participants Questionnaire Base / End line | Summary Analysis | SCB Partners | 2 1 Introduction

1.1 Highlights This report is a summary analysis of the participants’ questionnaire and shows results based on comparison of base and end lines answered by samples of girls who attend programmes at BRAC (Bangladesh), Right to Play (China), Right to Play (Jordan) and Youth Empowerment Foundation (Nigeria). Results from EduSport (Zambia), Naz Foundation (India) will be provided as data comes in. Economic Empowerment  YEF saw an increase from 64% to 85% of girls who understand what a budget is and an increase from 23% to 43% of girls who strongly disagree that banks are just for the rich  Girls in BRAC’s programme who think women should decide how to spend their own money increased from 77% to 98% after the programme

Leadership  Right to Play Jordan saw an increase from 17% to 51% of girls who have ever written a budget  After the programme, 80% of girls from RTP Jordan stated that they feel as respected as boys in their community, as opposed to only 60% of girls before the programme

SRHR  Before the programme, only 54% of girls from BRAC thought that women should control the amount of children they have, compared to 98% after the programme  The number of incorrect answers for how STI’s are prevented decreased from 69% to 29% for girls in the Right to Play China programme

GBV  Before the programme, 70% of girls from BRAC believed that girls have the right to say of someone touches her or tries to have sex with her, as opposed to 100% of girls after the programme.  Right to Play China saw an increase of girls who agreed that verbal insults, humiliation and threats were a form of violence, from 64% to 85%.

1.2 This Report The Women Win Impact team created this report in January 2014 with the main objective of summarizing the results presented in the dashboards of the WW M&E Salesforce System. It is also a source tool for more in depth investigations, discussions with the Programme Partners, etc. More information can be requested by emailing [email protected].

Participants Questionnaire Base / End line | Summary Analysis | SCB Partners | 3 1.3 The Questionnaire The Programme Participant Questionnaire (Baseline/Endline) is a quantitative data collection tool that is part of Women Win’s wider M&E process. It was designed to be self-administered by participants before they enter the sports programme. The same questionnaire is administered again as an endline, with the same participants, when they graduate from the programme. The endline has some additional questions that are not applicable to the baseline. The questionnaire focuses on five key areas: 1. Background information (age, family and school situation, previous participation in sport or life skill programmes) 2. Leadership 3. Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) 4. Gender Based Violence (GBV) 5. Economic Empowerment Most knowledge questions are yes/no or true/false. Four point scale questions (strongly disagree, disagree, agree and strongly agree) were used for the majority of the attitude questions. Partner organisations were provided with the questionnaire in English together with the Guideline in order to successfully administer the participant questionnaire. In almost all cases, questionnaires were translated to participants’ native language.

1.4 Sample and Administration

Table 1.4-1: Sample Size Instructions 40-50% sample 0-100 participants (minimum 25 respondents) 15-20% sample 100–500 participants (minimum 50 respondents) 5-10% sample 500+ participants (minimum 75 and maximum 250 respondents) Programme partners were instructed to select their sample depending on the number of girls they aimed to reach in year one (Table 1.4-1). Organisations also took into account their own specificities, such as the characteristics of the sites where the programme is implemented. All organisations followed the minimum number required in the instructions and in some cases increased the sample size (YEF for example).

Table 1.4-2 illustrates the final sample numbers for each organisation as well as the sample percentage and total number of direct participants for year one. Please note that two of the organisations, Naz and EduSport had not entered the data in Salesforce by the time this report was prepared. Their data will be analysed and reported at a later stage.

2.1 Economic Empowerment

Figure 2.1-1: Savings is money that I borrowed, which I have to pay back over time. (BRAC)

This topic included knowledge, attitude and behaviour questions. Results show great improvement regarding knowledge, for example, about the concepts of savings and budget. Figure 2.1-1 shows that while before the programme 53% of BRAC’s girls gave the correct answer for the question about savings, this figure went up to 97% in the end line. On the other hand, there is room for improvement regarding behaviour and more specific financial literacy. Although figures increased for the number of girls who wrote or edited a budget after the programme, about half of them have never done so. Thus, if the programme aims to change this behaviour in girls’ lives, they should include such practice within the activities. Finally, attitude scores did not change significantly. For example, opinions about women being able to earn their own money, deciding how to spend it and girls’ own ability to earn money in the future. This was already expected since scores in baseline were already quite high, meaning that most girls already had the “desired” opinion regarding the topics questioned. Details are available in this Salesforce Dashboard and in the annex.

Figure 2.2-1: I am a leader. (YEF)

This topic included knowledge, attitude and behaviour questions. Results show great improvement regarding attitude around Leadership. For example, Figure 2.2-1 shows that before the programme only 36% of YEF’s participants strongly agreed they are a leader, after the programme, 55% of girls strongly agreed they are leaders. Overall, 96% of girls either agreed or strongly agreed they were leaders after the programme as opposed to 80% before the programme. There is room for improvement in attitudes around girls being able to influence their own future at YEF. Although the percent of girls who believed they could influence their future increased from 80% to 87%, the percent of girls was already high to begin with and the increase was not significant. This was very similar for attitudes around whether girls think they are respected as much boys, they are listened to in their community and if their friends trust them. However, Figure 2.2-2 shows that only 37% of girls in BRAC considered themselves leaders before the programme and 98% considered themselves leaders after the programme. Additionally, girls who held leadership positions within the last 6 months increased significantly from 29% as reported in the baseline to 63% as reported in the endline for girls at YEF. Overall, from base to endline across all 6 leadership questions, there was a 63% increase in total Leadership scores for YEF participants. Details are available in this Salesforce Dashboard and in the annex.

The greatest change was around pregnancy and STIs prevention. Baseline figures were extremely low and increased significantly in end lines. In case of YEF, for example, percentages of girls who know how to prevent pregnancy and STIs went from around 20% to 80%. (See figure 2.3-1). Note that Right to Play Jordan excluded most SRHR questions from the questionnaire due to cultural sensitivity. Regarding methods of prevention, results show quite different answers when comparing the organisations, as shown by figures 2.3-3 and 2.3-4. Details are available in this and this Salesforce Dashboards and in the annex.

Although results show that scores increased when all questions are taken into account, there are no big highlights. This may be partly because scores in baseline were already relatively good. However, results show that there is room for improvement in a few areas, especially around gender roles and attitude regarding violence against women, especially within the context of YEF. In their case, figures about girls’ opinions on these topics are not desired and little change was noticed. For example, more than 60% of the girls agree that sometimes women need tolerate violence to keep the family together and that men should have the final word about decisions in his home, as shown in figures 2.4-1 and 2.4-2. Details are available in this Salesforce Dashboard and in the annex.
