Comment réaliser des évaluations d’impact : étapes clés pour évaluer les actions de communication

James Dennison

International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD); EUROMED Migration (2020), 30 pp.

"Ce rapport réunit une terminologie hétérogène, des conclusions et des recommandations émanant des secteurs privé et public et du monde universitaire pour définir un ensemble de cinq étapes générales à suivre par les professionnels lors de la réalisation d’une EI. L’EI compare une va ... riable étudiée après une action (par ex. une campagne de communication) à ce qu’elle serait si cette action n’avait jamais eu lieu. Accompagnant chacune des cinq étapes, nous présenterons des exemples de la façon dont les communicants en migration peuvent évaluer l’impact des campagnes pour, d’abord, modifier les attitudes et, ensuite, changer les comportements. Étape 1 : Fixer des objectifs pour l’action qui définissent l’effet souhaité. Dans l’idéal, ils devraient (1) correspondre aux critères SMART : spécifique, mesurable, atteignable, pertinent et temporellement défini; (2) se concentrer sur les résultats finaux, plutôt qu’uniquement sur les produits; (3) éviter certaines erreurs courantes dans la définition des objectifs et (4) déterminer de façon aussi spécifique que possible l’identité du public cible. Étape 2 : Identifier une mesure de l’impact ou des impacts de l’objectif de l’action. Ces impacts devraient être (1) clairement définis et non ambigus; (2) valides d’un point de vue externe (ils restent fiables s’ils sont utilisés pour d’autres actions) et (3) valides d’un point de vue interne (ils mesurent ce qu’ils prétendent mesurer). Il existe déjà de longues listes de mesures (également connues sous le nom d’indicateurs) parmi lesquelles il est possible de choisir. Étape 3 : Estimer ce qui se serait passé si l’action n’avait pas eu lieu, ou situation « contrefactuelle ». Idéalement, mais pas nécessairement, cela implique la réalisation de mesures en amont de l’action, également connues sous le nom d’évaluation de base. Néanmoins, ce n’est pas toujours possible. Cela ne devrait pas dissuader les professionnels, en revanche, les hypothèses relatives aux EI devraient faire l’objet d’une discussion ouverte, comme évoqué ci-dessous. Une longue liste de méthodes de mesure, y compris des considérations liées à l’échantillonnage, sont fournies. • Étape 4 : Réaliser l’action. Cela peut impliquer de séparer un échantillon aléatoire en un ou plusieurs groupes traités, qui font l’objet de l’action/des actions, et un groupe témoin, qui n’en fait pas l’objet. Si cela n’est pas faisable, d’autres formes de situations contrefactuelles sont possibles pour « construire » un groupe témoin. Cette section aborde également : (1) les types de campagnes de communication; (2) la check-list MINDSPACE d’influences comportementales pour les actions; (3) les recommandations clés portant sur les actions persuasives issues des travaux précédents de l’ICMPD; (4) les recommandations relatives aux campagnes de dissuasion de la migration irrégulière. • Étape 5 : Mesures et analyses en aval de l’action : (1) ceux qui ont bénéficié de l’action doivent faire l’objet de mesures en aval de l’action (idéalement dans le cadre un groupe témoin authentique ou construit); (2) l’impact doit être calculé : généralement la différence entre la variable étudiée en amont et en aval de l’action et/ou entre le groupe traité et témoin; (3) réflexion théorique sur les raisons et les aspects précis de la campagne qui ont causé un impact; les conclusions sont-elles transposables ?; (4) création (et, dans certains cas, incorporation) de recommandations basées sur la combinaison de l’impact et des réflexions théoriques."

Independent Media Depend on You: Research Report

CESID

USAID; IREX; Agency Communis (2020), 19 pp.

"The research on audience behavior and the effects of Free Media Advocacy Campaign was conducted on a sample of 1,000 respondents, 25 to 55 years of age, and focused on the citizens’ viewpoint towards paying for media content (with the possibility of comparison to 2019 research) and evaluation of ... the campaign “Independent Media Depend on You” (IREX and Agency Communis). In terms of media consumption, respondents from 2019 generally spent more time with media than in the 2020 research. In addition, it is noticeable that respondents in both research cycles spent more time watching television and listening to the radio. The average time respondents spent per day watching television in 2020 was 108.6 minutes, while in 2019 the average time spent watching this media was 161.4 minutes. The average time respondents spent listening to the radio in the research conducted in 2020 is the same as the time spent watching TV (108.6 minutes), while in 2019, radio was the media respondents spent the most time listening to – 166.8 minutes. Social networks are the third most used media in terms of time spent on them per day (average time for 2020 – 87.6 minutes; average time for 2019 – 126.6 minutes). In fourth place are informative online portals and sites, while fifth place is print media with which respondents spend the least time per day (average time – 27 minutes). When it comes to citizens’ trust in media, it is evident that in both research cycles there is a greater distrust than a trust in the media, and this fits in the broader picture of citizen’s distrust in all civil society institutions. A total of 43% of respondents generally do not trust the media in Serbia at all – in 2020, while in 2019 the percentage was lower by two points (41%). On the other hand, a total of 22% of respondents stated that they have full confidence and that they mostly have trust in Serbian media, which is one percentage point more than in the research conducted in 2019. About a third of respondents had a neutral stance about trust in media (31% in 2020, 33% in 2019). A large percentage of respondents were not willing to pay for online content, however, when compared with 2019’s findings, SMS noticed that the willingness to pay for online content is more noticeable in 2020."
