Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The Project will set up a participatory learning system integrating planning, monitoring and evaluation and knowledge management. The LPA will establish an M&E system by no later than the end of the first year of the Project. The M&E system shall be based on a baseline study that shall be undertaken by the LPA within the first six months of Project implementation. The M&E system of the Project shall be participatory and shall be used as a management tool. Interim monitoring reports shall be sent to the Fund. These reports shall contribute to the certification of the work completed by implementation partners, service providers and SPIU Project staff in order to assess their performance and decide whether or not to renew their contracts. The M&E system shall collect and analyze the necessary information concerning the:
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The Project will set up an integrated M&E and knowledge management system, aimed at: (i) guiding programme implementation;
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). Annex III of this Compact generally describes the plan to measure and evaluate progress toward achievement of the Compact Goal and Objectives of this Compact (the “M&E Plan”). As outlined in the Disbursement Agreement and other Supplemental Agreements, continued disbursement of MCC Funding under this Compact (whether as MCC Disbursements and Re-Disbursements) shall be contingent, among other things, on successful achievement of targets set forth in the M&E Plan.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The M&E system will build on the experience of completed and existing projects and as well as provide information that informs management decision-making and reporting consistent with the stipulations of the Guidelines for Disaster Early Recovery. Monitoring will focus on the activities defined on creating a cumulative overview of results/outputs. The M&E system will be decentralized under the oversight of a planning/M&E assistant to provide guidance, develop tools and follow-up; considering that ARP will be building on emergency programmes, it will consider strengthening any existent and relevant tools, as opposed to starting afresh. Knowledge management will ensure a continuous learning process in which data are compiled, analysed and disseminated as lessons learned, along with thematic studies and stories from the field. Information-sharing within the aligned portfolio will receive particular attention.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The Programme shall establish a M&E system, which will integrate Results and Impact Management System (RIMS) indicators, from national to village level. The M&E system of the Programme shall: (i) underpin the knowledge management functions of the Programme; (ii) give emphasis to assessing the impact on poverty alleviation of the Programme, relying on the national poor registration system, and the performance of supported cooperatives, through annual cooperative performance assessments; (iii) make M&E data accessible and available, through a user- friendly management information system (MIS) and innovative information and communication technology (ICT) tools. Progress against the achievement of results will be measured through comprehensive baseline, mid-term and end-line surveys, and through annual outcome surveys in intervening years.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The results-based approach will be adopted through the M&E system. This will be through: (i) accounting for progress against AWPB targets; and (ii) periodic assessments of movement towards achievement of beneficiary impact. Key M&E activities will comprise the Programme implementation manual and the baseline survey at design stage, the AWPB, quarterly progress reporting of activity and output targets and achievements, mid-term review, and the completion report along with the Programme completion survey.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The M&E will provide timely information on progress of implementation to determine deviations to be addressed and ensure consistent performance. Data will be disaggregated to reflect gender, age and locality. Key indicators will take into account IFAD’s Operations Result Management System (ORMS).
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The project will be monitored quarterly, bi-annually and annually. UNDP will submit bi-annual and annual project reports to the EIF Executive Secretariat and Trust Fund Manager as agreed in the UNDP- EIF corporate agreement. The NIU however, reports to the UNDP on quarterly basis through the FACE form and other appropriate NIM project requirements. The M&E of the project will be as follows: Within the annual cycle Quarterly monitoring will be done through Quarterly Progress and Financial Reports submitted by the EIF NIU Coordinator to UNDP and NSC for approval. The project will be monitored based on UNDP Programme and Operational Procedures as follows: On a quarterly basis, a Quarterly Progress Report will be produced to track the progress in achieving the stated results based on the quality criteria specified in the logical framework; An Issue Log will be activated and updated to facilitate tracking and solving of potential problems or change requests; A Risk Log based on the initial project risk assessment will be activated and regularly updated through the review of the environment that may impact the project; From the above information, a Quarterly Progress Report (QRP) will be submitted to the NSC by the Project manager to the Project Board using standard format provided by UNDP; A Project Lesson Learned Log will be activated and regularly updated to record lessons for adaptation and to contribute to the end of project Lessons-Learned Report; A Monitoring Schedule Plan shall be developed and updated to track management actions/events. Annually The Annual Review Report will be approved by the NSC. The Annual Report will consist of the Annual Monitoring Report Format and Financial Report which is based on the expenditure; The Annual Monitoring Report Format will have the following sections;
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The Project will set–up a Monitoring and Evaluation system and an M&E Plan (i) to track achievements against the Project’s Logical Framework, the Project’s baseline, mid-term and end-line surveys, and the Project’s Economic and Financial Analysis; and (ii) to assess the quality of the Project’s performance. The M&E procedures and responsibilities are included in the PIM.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). A Programme M&E framework will provide information on implementation progress and constant feedback into the MIS for decision- making, identifying any problem areas, evaluate the performance of implementing agencies and assess achievements at the levels of outcomes and impact. All M&E data will be disaggregated by gender, age and Locality. A thorough Baseline Survey shall be conducted by a qualified service provider in a representative sample of communities within the targeted Localities. The research will concentrate on benchmarking those aspects in which LMRP is intended to make a difference. Interim Post-Implementation Evaluation studies will be carried out by a contracted independent body under the overall responsibility of the State cadres on the completion of selected clusters of group and community interventions, concentrated on the satisfaction of beneficiaries and the number of women and youth with increased access to assets, incomes or services resulting from enterprise developments. A substantial Final Impact Evaluation will be commissioned from an independent service provider at the end of implementation, mirroring the scope and methodology of the Baseline Study to the extent possible, to detect changes in selected indicators and to attempt to attribute observed changes to Programme interventions and/or to other factors.
