1. Training Background and Context

1.1 Introduction

As USAID-AQE project comes to end in July 2021, the MOE will assume direct implementation of ALP.
Thus, the MOE in collaboration with USAID-AQE Project has embarked on a transition and
sustainability approach that will allow the Ministry to run ALP classes alongside conventional lower
basic classes during regular school time in the morning, or in the morning and afternoon. The MOE
will also take full responsibility for the continuous monitoring, evaluation and reporting on both
conventional and ALP schools. MOE M&E
Officers at the county level work along with About AQE:

as well from the AE Division and the EMIS Department. The training also included M&E Officers from
across the six counties (Grand Bassa, Margibi, Montserrado, Bong, Lofa and Nimba) where USAID-AQE
implements its activity. Cumulatively, 28 persons attended the training. USAID-AQE Database
Manager led the training delivery with support from the M&E Coordination and the two Transitional
M&E Officers. This training, organized in response to the request of the Assistant Minister for Planning,
Research and Development at MOE, is an innovative move in meeting, “AQE intermediate result 1:
ALP Regulatory Framework Institutionalize”. The Data Analytics Training builds on previous training
in KoBo Toolbox that AQE offered 60 education officers. This time, emphasis was on data analysis and
how to link data collected in Kobo with Power BI dashboards for effective visualization and
interpretation and evidence-based decision-making.

The training was straightly hands-on, using mix of experiential and participatory learning approaches,
which enabled participants to enhance their knowledge through practice and simulation. AQE
designed the training to help in building the capacity of the MOE, i.e., the Division of Planning Research
and Development, and EMIS, as well as that of M&E Officers at the county level. To help achieve this
goal, the Data Analytics Training outlined the following objectives and outcomes:

USAID AQE MONITORING & EVALUATION TEAM 2

 Objectives:
By the end of the training participants would be able to:
• Develop data collection mechanisms on Kobo toolbox
• Download and export data from Kobo toolbox
• Link datasets on kobo to Power Bi
• Analyze and visualize data with Power Bi

Outcomes:
• Participants create their individual KoBo accounts and are able to develop sample databases in
KoBo and input some basic data.
• Participants create their own Power BI accounts, activation and logins and learn the various
interface in Power BI desktop and Power BI Services.
• Participants are able to review the KOBO toolbox browser interface and are able to access KoBo
API interface and generate link from KoBo to Power BI.
• Participants understand how to create relationships between related data sources; that is they
understand the flow and usage of Power BI, accessing and connecting to various data sources
(excel file and API link) and importing these into Power BI.
• Participants know how to build reports with various types of aggregations and filters and
understand the various types of possible visualizations in Power BI and how to use graphs.
• Participants know how to create powerful reports and dashboards using Power BI and are able to
publish their reports and dashboards on the Internet and view those using laptops, tablets or
smartphones. In short, participants are able to generate tables, graphs and publish results on the
internet.

1.2 Training Participants

The Data Analytics Training brought together fifteen (15) technical staff from the MOE Planning,
Research and Development Division, the AE Division, and EMIS Department at the central level of
ministry. It also brought together six (6) County M&E Office from selected counties. These are believed
to be some of the most critical teams involved with data collection and processing needed for
evidence-based decision making, especially at this point of transition and backstopping of the ALP
beyond AQE. The table below gives a summary of attendance during the training, including USAID-
AQE team members.

 2. Description of Activity
2.1 Training Design
The AQE MOE Data Analytics Training was a 3-day technology-based training designed to enhance the
capacity of the MOE through its Division of Planning, Research and Development. The training also
targeted Division of Alternative Education and EMIS. In addition, in order to decentralize the capacity
of the MOE in Data Analytics, the training also targeted MOE County M&E Officers from Bong, Lofa
and Nimba (in-land counties) as well as Grand Bassa, Margibi and Montserrado (coastal counties). The
training was arranged into interactive sessions, with content and activities focused on range of
outcomes. Base on the caliber of participants attending the training, a mix of experiential and
participatory approaches were incorporated into the training design. The training included several
practice and simulation activities. A pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge participants gained
from the training. In order to assess the effectiveness of the training, the training design also allowed
for participants’ feedback and evaluation.

2.2 Training Preparation

AQE M&E developed PowerPoints and datasets for the training with technical input from the Senior
M&E Specialist, AQE ICD/CES Team, and Deputy Chief of Party for Programs. Prior to the training, a
technical dry run involving the AQE M&E Team was held. Printing of training resources and
organization of tech materials (tablets, laptops), and other logistics were done in Monrovia. The M&E
team including those from transitional offices worked along with the MOE (central and local) to inform
participants in advance of the training and made reminder calls few days to the training.

2.3 Training Methodology

A blend of experiential and participatory learning methods were employed during implementation of
the training. Key among the methods used were demonstration, practice and simulation. A couple of
simulations was held at different intervals in the training thereby allowing participants to demonstrate
knowledge and skills gained. A pretest and posttest was administered to gauge knowledge participants
gained because of the training, while evaluation was administered to gather participants’ feedback
about the quality with which the training was delivered.

2.4 Monitoring and Evaluation

For monitoring and documentation purposes, participants signed onto the attendance sheet during
the start and close of each training day. During the first day training, all attendants received preprinted
name badges, which made it easier for everyone to identify each other by name. At the close of the
training, participants used an online KoBo evaluation form to provide feedback about the training. The
feedback focused on relevance of the training content and resources, effectiveness of methodology
and facilitation, knowledge of the trainers, and quality of the participation. Using post it notes, further
evaluation was done allowing participants to highlight the following:
a. List three (3) things they had learned because of the training.
b. List two (2) things they saw as challenges, and
c. Make one (1) recommendation for improvement

3. Achievements
3.1 Planning and organization
With knowledge on contents and experience, the key facilitator along with the rest of the training
team demonstrated hands-on skills, went through the training objectives with participants. The
training team used modelling of the KoBo Toolbox, Power BI Desktop and Power BI Services during
training. In other words, the training was hands-on and participants were drilled through using a series
of practice and simulation activities.

To go through the training smoothly, each participant was required come along with a computer
(laptop) and have an up-to-date web browser (Google Chrome/Firefox), an active internet connection
and an android device (tablets) for testing. Each participant was required to have two email accounts,
a google and an organizational email account (examples, datatraining@gmail.com or
data.training@moe.lr). A google account was important for working with KoBo Toolbox while an
organizational account was essential in working with Power Desktop and Power BI Services.

USAID AQE MONITORING & EVALUATION TEAM 5

3.2 Delivery
All training sessions were successfully delivered within the space of three (3) working days and not
two-and-a-half day (2.5) as initially planned. Participants were actively engaged, mostly individually,
through training methodologies, and given sufficient time to try out and do simulations. Each
participant came to the training with a laptop, and for those who did not, EDC provided temporary
laptops for the training. EDC also provided temporary tablets for further practice and simulation. Most
of the participants did not have an MOE email account, therefore, EDC provide them access to
temporary EDC email accounts during the training. Links, data files and other relevant training
handouts were distributed via email accordingly.

AQE M&E team with some support from tech team members took the lead in rolling out the training,
with additional from AQE SMT as needed. A pre/post test was administered to assess participants’
knowledge level improvements made as a result of the training. The training team held daily debrief
meetings to assess the quality of training delivery and made adequate adjustments as much as
possible and or necessary.

3.3 Pre & Post Tests Results

Before the training began, the AQE M&E team administered a pre-test to participants in order to
measure participants’ knowledge prior to the training. At the end of the training, the team also
administered a post-test to evaluate training outcomes (knowledge gained). Participants filled out
these questionnaires electronically, using the Kobo app. Averages scores of the pre-test indicated that
only 21% of the participants were knowledgeable to some of the technology introduced, while up to
79% had never used the any of those technologies. The results also shows that 94% of the participants
had NO idea in developing an online database using KoBo Toolbox, while 83% said they had NEVER
used the Power BI platform. The post-test results indicated a rather positive result. The post-test
results show that an average of 76% of the participants believe they are now knowledgeable, while
29% still have some challenges using some of the technology introduced. Post-test scores show a very
steep increase, from 6% to 94%, knowledge in using KoBo Toolbox, and an increase from 28% to 82%
acquiring the relevant skill in working with Power BI Desktop and Power BI service. The tables
following give us an overview of those assessments:

4. Fidelity of Implementation
All training contents contained in the session plans were covered. The training team with the support
of the EDC Senior Management and Tech Team, as well as the TWG followed training agenda and
session plan for each topic during the training. Initially, the training team planned to cover the training
in 2.5 days, but eventually covered all contents in 3 days instead. Participants completed all practice
and simulations activities outlined in the training plan. Participants were able to use their personal
laptops, or temporary laptops assigned by EDC, to assess databases, links and other documents for
the training.

5. Training Evaluation
At the end of the training, the team also conducted an evaluation gather participants’ feedback on
different aspect of the training and how they intend to apply knowledge and skills acquired from the
training. Seventeen (17) participants completed the training evaluation and provided mostly positive
rating about the quality with which the training delivered as indicated in Fig. 3 below.

6. Feedback from ‘3, 2, 1’ Evaluation

Participants were asked to highlight three (3) things they had learned from the training, list two (2)
things they saw as challenges, and make one (1) recommendation for improvement. This layer of
evaluation showed that significant gains were realized in various aspects of the training, including
knowledge gained in development of sample databases in KoBo and inputting some data. Among
other things, some participants believed they are now able access KoBo API interface and generate
links from KoBo to Power BI. Some participants indicated that though the training was good, having
another round of training would enhance the level of knowledge and skills they have acquired. Other
participants, especially the M&E from the county education offices, further indicated that if they must
practice and implement the knowledge and skills gained, they needed to be furnished with the
laptops, tablets and necessary peripherals; otherwise, they may not be able to implement what they
have learned. Table 4 below gives us some of the key findings from participants’ feedback.

7. Lessons Learned
• The daily debrief session held each day significantly helped the trainers to step up on the next
days’ activities
• With all the right accessories and technologies available, it is easier to rollout this nature of
training without much difficulty for the most part.
• The inclusion of the MOE County M&E Officers during the training meant a great deal to the
ministry as highlighted by the Assistant Minister for Planning Research & Development and
emphasized by the Director of EMIS. Paraphrasing their words, this meant each county could
do some data analysis within their local context and make some evidence-based quick impact
decisions, without going through the long wait of doing so at national/central level.

8. Quotes from Participants

• The Director of EMIS, Leah Tomah Zinnah, wished the training had happened a long time ago
– according to her, before they spent a lot of time and money on outsourcing the work to a
provider. The remarks from the Director of EMIS – referred to:
o team understanding of reports presented to Ministry,
o decentralization emphasis of involving the County M&E Officers,
o focus on context where each county has their own particular challenges which need to be
captured through M&E processes,
o capacity now for county level reporting and representation of data /visualization of issues
– to inform county policy.
• Additionally, according to remarks from both the Assistant Minister for Planning, Research &
Development and the EMIS Director, the training is a real sense of empowerment – a big
achievement; owning their database; interpreting and reporting to the Minister on what
needs to be done and corrected.

USAID AQE MONITORING & EVALUATION TEAM 10

9. Recommendations
Based on the challenges encountered as well as lessons learned from implementation of the Data
Analytics Training, the below recommendations are thus proffered:
• Organize another round of training, allowing enough time for practice and simulation
activities. This will include liaising with MoE to involve M&E offers in future data collection
and analysis activities.
• Laptops disposition to the counties – given that they have nothing to go back to; to practice
with; to implement learning;
o Fast track disposition of some laptops to the counties; assigning them through the
County Education Offices (sign MOU designating laptops not for individuals – but for
the county offices).
• Dispose additional tablets to MOE at the national and county level to help with data collection
processes.
