Field Supervisor, Baseline Public Perception Survey (BPPS)
Afghanistan Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Activity (AMELA), Afghanistan
Project Summary:
The purpose of AMELA is to provide monitoring, evaluation, and learning support services/assistance to strengthen the implementation of USAID development programs in Afghanistan, and to build the technical M&E knowledge and skills of USAID/Afghanistan Mission staff and stakeholders. The services provided under AMELA will contribute to supporting USAID/Afghanistan as an effective development organization with strong learning and adaptive management processes.
The purpose of the Baseline Public Perception Survey (BPPS) is to determine the Afghan perceptions of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Agency contributions to the welfare of Afghanistan. The USAID Office of Program and Project Development (OPPD)/Development Outreach & Communications (DOC) unit has been working in Afghanistan for 18 years, designing messages, and communication products without ever having conducted a baseline survey of said perceptions. This baseline is meant to be an opportunity to identify the gaps in knowledge around public perceptions. All information collected during the baseline will be used for strategic communications planning, as well as future perception surveys. In order to ensure a quality baseline, the BPPS is broken into two phases: 1) Design and development of the perception survey; and 2) Implementation of the perception survey. Phase 2 will focus on the data collection and analysis to measure awareness and perceptions of USAID, and to a lesser extent, of the USG throughout Afghanistan.
