5.0 Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations

5.1 Summary

This research work has really shed light on why the ministries under study give recognition to need of store department in participating fully in decision making in the ministry. Having analyzed the data collected for this research study and coupled with personal observation personal interview and responses received on the questionnaires distributed the researcher observe the following

Personal Interviews

In depth personal interviews with broad open ended questions are especially useful when the evaluation want to understand either.

2. The cause of a problem should one develop after.

The program is in effect relatively unstructured personal interviews with members of the target population allow interviews to express their point of view about a program good and bad points without being prejudiced by the evaluator personal interviews are particularly important when the target population differs in age ethnicity culture or social background from program staff and when the program staff has a different professional background from those directing the program through the interview the interview the interview becomes a partner in rather than the object of the evaluations.

Focus Groups

Focus groups serve much the same functions as personal interviews the main difference is that with focus groups the questions are asked of groups ideally these groups comprise four to eight people who are likely to regard each other as equals 6 a feeling of equality allows all members of the group to express their opinions freely focus group have an advantage over individual interviews because the comments of one participant can stimulate the thoughts and ideas of another you must conduct several focus groups because different combinations of people yield different perspective the more likely you are to develop a good understanding of whatever situation you are investigating.

Also as with personal interviews evaluations analyze the data and prepare a written report for program management many of the same questions may be used for personal interviews and focus groups.
