2. What is program Monitoring &
evaluation
MONITORING
It is the routine
process of data
collection and
measurement of
progress toward
program
objectives.
EVALUATION
It is the use of
social research
methods to
systematically
investigate a
achievement of a
program results.

4. MONITORING :
The word “monitor” is
derived from the Latin
word meaning to warn. It is
an integral part of
management. It is a device
through which problems can
be identified and solved as
well as progress can be
assessed.

5. As it involves :
1. Collecting data (facts, observation and
measurement) and documenting them.
2. Analyzing and drawing conclusions
(interpretation)
3. Making recommendations (judgement)
and taking corrective action
Steps involved in Monitoring:-

6. Types of Monitoring:-
1. Monitoring of activities: it compares
time planned for and finally required to
carry out an activity.
2. Monitoring of results: Progress is
assessed by comparing an initial
situation with the current situation.

7. 3. Monitoring of impact : it does on project effectiveness
a) Project effectiveness (“doing the right things”) and beyond,
i.e. the positive and intended impacts.
b) The side effects
c) The negative impacts
d) The long-term period of observation i.e. there may be a
considerable time gap between the achievements of the results
and the emergence of benefit and impacts. It give a good
indication of whether the project is on right track or not.

9. EVALUATION
The word evaluation derived from a latin word “valare”
means strength.
To evaluate means to appraise or to as certain the value of
something.
PROGRAM EVALUATION is the process of jugding the
worth or value of a program. The judgement is formed by
comparing evidence as to what the program is with criteria
as to what the program should be.
( steele).
Measuring performance against a predetermind goal.
(L.moss).
The evaluation is taking result of measurement and
comparing it against standards to see if it is good ,bad or
indifferent.

10. OBJECTIVES OF EVALUATION:-
1. Evaluation helps in understanding and study of
factors which make for success or failure.
2. To make clear the purpose of program,
evaluation compels classification of purpose for
activity.
3. To examine strong and weak points of the
program and guard against considering all details
as equally important.

11. 4. To help workers determine how far
their plans have progressed and to what
extent the objective have been
achieved, so that they make gain
psychological satisfaction, confidence
and security.
5. To compare the value of
achievements of the program with cost
incurred.

13. CHARACTERISTICS OF
EVALUATION:-
1. VALIDITY
2. RELIABILITY
3. OBJECTIVITY
4. PRACTICABILITY
5. SIMPLICITY

14. 1. VALIDITY- Refers to the extent to which the result of
evaluation procedure serve the particular validity for which they
are intended.
2. RELIABILITY- Refers to consistency of measurement, the
problem or evaluation procedures and their results unless the
details of evaluation and procedure and of program being evaluated
and recorded.
3. OBJECTIVITY- Refers to the degree to which the process of
measurement is free from biasness.
4. PRACTICABILITY- Refers to the degree to which the evaluation
procedure are convenient to use and understand by the users.
5. SIMPLICITY- Refers to extent to which the entire process of
evaluation facilitates the user for which the purpose of evaluation
intended to.

15. TYPES OF EVALUATION-
FORMATIVE EVALUATION which
gathers information for development of
an effective extension program.
SUBMMATIVE EVALUATION which tries
to measure the end results of a
program in order to decide whether or
not it should be continued, expanded or
diminished.

16. CONCLUSION
In the present day of globalisation and
economisation the feasibility of any program
further educational, technological or any other
area to be assessed for its relevance in the
social system. Thats why monitoring and
evaluation are taken into account in extension
research point of view.
