Monitoring and Evaluation

Course Overview
Now more than ever, development programs are expected to deliver results. For
everyone involved in development, the value of their ideas, advice, and action produced
is increasingly being gauged by whether it improves lives. Moreover, the global
economic crisis has doubled the importance of getting the maximum impact from every
program, as countries are facing painful tradeoffs. Consequently, every program needs
the information to answer two vital questions: “What would constitute success in
addressing this problem?” and “How will we know success when we achieve it”? The
answers to these questions will help everyone understand which programs are working,
which are not, which can be scaled up, and which should be phased out.

It is obvious that achieving results starts with a good design, including a well crafted
implementation strategy. However, ensuring that knowledge learned along the way is
put to use is equally important. This knowledge can be learned both through periodic
detailed analyses of a problem, as well as through the everyday, incremental learning
that comes with implementation. Good monitoring and evaluation systems capture both
forms of knowledge. This Diploma Manual is designed to equip the learners with
relevant know how on how to design and conduct a successful Monitoring and
Evaluation which is paramount to every development project
