Analysis
Plan
Example question from NTCP evaluation:
• How did recipients tailor strategies and interventions
to reach intended population groups?
Example methods from NTCP evaluation:
• Conducting thematic analysis of recipient evaluation reports
with deductive codes based on evaluation questions.
Example data sources from NTCP evaluation:
• Recipient Annual Evaluation Reports
Example of qualitative codes based on NTCP evaluation:
• Deductive Codes: pre-established codes that categorize
population groups based on evaluation questions.
• Inductive Codes: creating a code about a barrier multiple
recipients noted in their reports when discussing tailoring
strategies.
