CSSH and CNSM Community Involvement at Barangay Fatima North District ALS Learners: An Impact Assessment

This paper attempts to evaluate the impact of the CSSH and CNSM Community Involvement at Barangay Fatima North District ALS Learners extension project. This project aimed at assisting ALS learners including recruitment and enrolment. The project was implemented at Brgy. Fatima, General Santos City from 2015 to 2018, with a total of more or less 200 learners served. A qualitative study was conducted to determine the impact of the project, with data gathered using Key Informant Interview (FGD) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Respondents of the study involved three (3) ALS Student-participants of the program and three (3) ALS Teachers who were selected purposively. These participants had an active participation in the implementation of the project. The paper highlighted the success story of one participant who was able to obtain a college diploma and eventually became an ALS Teacher. Using the OECD DAC Network on Development Evaluation (EvalNet) Five Criteria of Evaluation, results revealed that the project was able to have a significant impact on the teachers, learners, and the community. However, problems with the adequacy of resources and sustained interest of the learners were found. These problems were manifested by the lack of resources such as buildings and supplies used for instruction activities, and the number of learners who completed the program. Hence, it is recommended to continue coordination and partnership with stakeholders for information dissemination to inform, inspire, and educate without any form of discrimination as well as sustain best practices in incorporating strategies like substantial and subsistence activity. Giving recognition is also vital in the form of awards and rewards to ignite and sustain their interests.
