Monitoring and Evaluation system for development and humanitarian projects
5 - 7 AUG 2024
What is robust Monitoring and Evaluation system?
The “Monitoring and Evaluation” We use the term monitoring to mean the “routine collection of information” that will help us understand how we are progressing in terms of the results of our work. We use the term evaluation to mean “periodic assessments in order to incorporate lessons into decision making and future programming”. Monitoring and Evaluation, while separate processes, complement each other as information gathered during the monitoring process is used to inform evaluations and learning.
Systematic and robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) depends on coherent program design.
Programs which are coherent have sound internal logic which articulates what changes the
Program intends to achieve and how it expects to do so. Sound M&E systems are critical for
Helping organizations understand to what extent they have achieved what they intended to achieve.
As a building block for the development of an M&E system, program logic is often synthesized
Into a results framework and an associated set of indicators for tracking progress using various
Approaches to defining results and developing indicators.
