participants who participate in youth
and leadership programs through ECA.
• ECA/P/V: Youth and Leadership
Programs: Pre Program Survey
Questions: This collection will cover
pre-program surveys.
• ECA/P/V: Youth and Leadership
Programs: Post Program Survey
Questions: This collection will cover
post program surveys
• ECA/P/V: Youth and Leadership
Programs: Follow-up Program Survey
Questions: This collection will cover
follow-up program surveys.
Methodology
ECA/P/V estimates that at least 90%
of the data collected through these
information collections will be done so
electronically via a web-based surveying
system for ease of use. Non-electronic
means such as paper surveys will be
used when electronic means are not
technically feasible.
Additional Information
These three collections together
represent the full spectrum of the
performance measurement process (i.e.
a pre-program, post-program, and
follow-up program surveying), and data
collected across these collections will be
used to monitor ECA’s youth and
leadership programs. The proposed
questions have been designed to appear
across these collections as appropriate,
and therefore it is imperative that these
questions remain unchanged so as to
continue our vital performance
measurement work.
