How to Complete the Activities Section
This article explains the Activities section of the report builder and how to answer each question
The Activities section captures how your program delivers services and specifically the type of intervention and how frequently participants engage with it. This section helps give context to your outcomes data.
Service type
You will first select how your program delivers services to beneficiaries. The three options are:
- Direct Service: Your program works directly with the people it serves (e.g., tutoring students, providing medical care, running workshops).
- Capacity Development: Your program builds the skills or capacity of others who then serve end beneficiaries (e.g., training teachers, supporting volunteers, providing technical assistance to other organizations).
- Policy and Advocacy: Your program works to change systems, policies, or practices that affect the people you serve.
If your program includes multiple types, select the one that best represents how most of your work is delivered. If your multiple approaches are truly distinct, serving different groups or following different theories of change, consider creating a separate report for each so each program gets its own accurate model.
Delivery method
Next, you will describe how your program primarily delivers services. Select the option that best fits, even if it is not an exact match.
Dosage
The dosage questions ask about the frequency and duration of participant engagement:
- How often participants engage (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly)
- How many sessions or touchpoints a typical participant experiences
These should reflect the average experience of a participant in your program, not the total sessions offered across all participants.
Note: If your program does not fit neatly into the available options, please choose the closest available option. The goal is to give a sense of the depth and frequency of your program's engagement, not to match a format exactly.
