In the summer of 2024, almost 50 Initiative collaborators took part in the second phase of the impact study. The main objective was to assess the impact and effects of the experiments carried out, in comparison with the first phase of the impact study done in 2021. As a reminder, the first phase<\/a> aimed to measure the Initiative’s relevance to improving care and services rendered. At the time, it documented the changes observed on the part of the families who had benefited from the various projects, but also mainly on the part of the professionals involved. With a view to continuous improvement, the results of this study provided food for thought and helped to readjust MUSCO’s orientations thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this second, more recent phase of the study, the aim was to analyze the data in order to draw lessons, document the evolution of partnership work and validate potential strategies for sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NISKA cooperative: a key role in evaluation<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NISKA work cooperative<\/a> (website in French only), which had been entrusted with the mandate for the first impact study, also took charge of this second phase, promoting a participatory approach to the analysis of the data collected. Their approach is based on the methodological principles of collective impact, continuous cooperation and systemic change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeyond traditional evaluation, measuring social impact helps to encourage continuous improvement, mobilize stakeholders, reinforce the impact of our actions and communicate their added value more effectively. In the case of MUSCO, this evaluation helps to give value to the progress made in terms of collaboration. The process highlights the evolution of the level of trust between individuals and the importance of the structures put in place to increase the space for cooperation\u201d, Isabelle Mercieca, Collective Development Consultant, NISKA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creation of a new evaluation committee<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the rigor of the evaluation, and as had been the case during the first phase, an evaluation committee was set up to accompany the process. This committee, made up of members from the four centers and families involved in MUSCO’s governance, validated the consultation objectives, co-constructed the evaluation strategy, supervised data collection, ensured the application of the methodology and participated in the co-analysis of the results. It also contributed to the drafting of the recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
