CorpsAfrica is a nonprofit organization, inspired by the Peace Corps, devoted to community participatory development throughout Africa. CorpsAfrica is in its first year of operations in Morocco. Ten Moroccan Fellows have committed one year of service, part of which is spent living as community members in rural villages facilitating community-driven projects to address local needs. The Capstone team was contracted to create a series of tools to monitor progress and evaluate outcomes of the communitybased projects. The team’s deliverables included a Situation Analysis Assessment Tool, Project Work Guide, Community Engagement Monitoring Tool, and a Project Evaluation Assessment Tool. The tools build upon one another to chart the process, progress, and product of each project. Additionally, the team provided a series of recommendations to promote transparency and accountability throughout the evaluation process in CorpsAfrica’s future iterations.
