What is CMS 1?
This is a detailed profile of every beneficiary household that is undertaken at or soon after the enrolment of a household onto the programme. The household profile is completed by NGO field staff through a once‐only interview and acts as a baseline for evaluation of project impact. It must be completed and submitted to shiree prior to any significant project activities taking place. A database of profiles for all shiree beneficiary households (Scale and Innovation Fund) is maintained, each household has a unique identification number allowing linkage to other CMS tools.
PURPOSE:
- To provide a detailed assessment of the status of all shiree households before significant project interventions have taken place.
- To provide the baseline from which to monitor change over time.
