question
• Provides feedback on
outcomes and goals
• Determine if in right
pace and direction
towards achieving PDO

13. WHAT DO WE DO?
Operations Monitoring

Grievance Monitoring
• Designed to attend to
complaints, problems
and issues that arise out
from project
implementation
• Upholds the principle of
transparency and
accountability
• Three types of grievance
Geo-tagging
• A technique to capture
photos, audios and videos
on field and pinpoint their
location.
• Requires a device with
camera and built in
receiver
• KC-NCDDP uses smart
phones and tablet

✘Multi-faceted
✘Accessible by anyone
✘Sustainable (for LGUs)

27. Challenges of KC M&E SYSTEM
✘Dependent on DSWD server
Ex. When DSWD’s server migrated,
