After the controlling of the Covid-19 pandemic due to widespread vaccination, on-site monitoring of projects was resumed in 2022. Even so, video calls and virtual meetings were maintained, adding greater security and agility in everyday life. In this way, the monitoring of actions supported by BB Foundation occurs in the following ways:

• 

  Remotely

  Covers all projects and refers to monitoring carried out through the analysis of documents presented by the entity, such as execution reports and contacts made with the entity;

• 

  Virtually

  This is monitoring carried out remotely via videoconference between BB Foundation and the partners involved in the execution of the project and may take place at any time;

• 

  Presentially

  This is monitoring carried out on a sample basis by visiting the location where the project takes place, and its purpose is to obtain information on the progress of activities, identify weaknesses and propose timely solutions, ensuring that the goals and objectives pursued are met.

In 2022, a sample of 41 projects was chosen for in loco monitoring. In addition to identifying in loco the stage of development of the project and the eventual need for adjustments, issues such as the participation and engagement of young people and women, the development of knowledge and skills, aspects related to human rights and the formation of partnerships were also evaluated for the development of the project and/or assistance to its participating public.

The objective of evaluating programs and projects is to measure the effectiveness and impact of the initiatives supported by BB Foundation, capturing the effects of the action on the lives of the participants and their perceptions of the results generated.

The evaluation consists of a tool to: provide inputs for evidence-based decision-making; support the process of modeling actions; and also provide subsidy for accountability to stakeholders and participants in social actions. We use the results evaluation methodology in order to measure effectiveness and verify whether the expected results are being achieved.

As in previous years, in 2022, the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the carrying out of evaluation activities due to the restrictive sanitary measures imposed at project execution sites, postponing the execution of field research. Consequently, we improved the remote process and concentrated efforts on optimizing this scenario, using digital tools to apply research and developing tools that brought more operational efficiency, so that evaluative actions could reach more projects and, in this way, demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of social transformation actions.

We carry out evaluations of initiatives that have contributed to the transformation of the reality of families and communities and generate information for feedback on processes, with a view to improving BB Foundation's performance, so that it is increasingly assertive and, consequently, impactful. Six evaluation processes were completed with the application of approximately 2,000 research instruments and more than 105,000 data collected.

The sample of projects that participate in the evaluation process is defined according to the portfolio of Structured Programs in force at BB Foundation, according to the established parameters.
