Agenda
• Presentations– Purpose of the workshop– What has been done thus far– What and why of a ToC workshop– Renay Pillay (DHET Directorate Policy, Research & Evaluation)– Weziwe Sikaka (DHET Skills Branch)
• Group work– Map the high level theory of change– Agree on high level indicators
• Next steps / way forward
PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP
1.Map a ToC for SETAs
• Based on various considerations informed by presentations
2.Assign high level indicators
• Impacts; final and intermediate outcomes
3.Decide how to
complete
• Including cap dev
WHAT & WHY OF THEORY OF CHANGE
Society & Economy
PSET System
SETAs
Example of a linear Theory of Change
• Assumptions:• few role players
• no history or context
• simple system (Rogers after Snowden)
Produce an M&E
framework
Train staff how to use it
All problems solved
A Non-linear ToC:
Assumptions:• Multiple role players not
working together optimally• Many historical and dynamic
contextual influences• Complex system (Rogers after
Snowden)
Together draft framework
Together try it out
Together reflect on practicality and outcomes
Together refine or change …
BACKGROUND INFORMING PROCESS
The Research Programme: 8
projects all contribute to the
Overall M&E Framework
Overall SETA M&E Framework: “This is how we want to be evaluated”
CBA Tool; Tracer Study
Protocol; Capacity
Development
Evaluations of Enterprise
skills activity system;
Governance
Performance Indicators + M&E for the MG + M&E for the DG
Reports & presentations are available at www.ru.ac.za/elrc/projects
Proposed Focus Areas for the Overall M&E FW (in addition to the basics)
• Staff capacity
• Organisational capacity
• Partner capacity
• Purposeful evaluations
• Used for learning and action
• Focused use in strategic planning, guided by ToR
• Skills intelligence
• Streamline data gathering, access
• Convene roleplayers –DHETS, DoL, DPME, DPSA, StatsSA, employers
• Platforms & processes
• Theory of Change/Action
• Focused indicators
• Streamline reporting
• Convene role players
• Tools and processes Big Picture

Draft NP-PSET:
Group Work
1. Map a high level theory of change for SETAs including• expected impact(s)
• final outcomes (in the form of pre-conditions not activities)
• intermediate outcomes
• The connections between them (how will this be achieved)
• Add: other roleplayers and their mandates
2. Report-backs and discussion
3. Refine the ToC and identify impact and outcome indicators
4. Report-back and discussion
5. Reflect on what we achieved and how to complete the task
