This document discusses performance monitoring and evaluation. It outlines 12 components of a functional M&E system including structure and organization, human capacity, partnerships, plans, advocacy, routine monitoring, periodic surveys, databases, supervision, evaluation, and using information. Monitoring tracks performance against targets while evaluation assesses completed projects and answers specific questions. Impact evaluations assess program effectiveness and attribution by comparing outcomes to a counterfactual scenario.

One of the most challenging evaluation questions for residential lighting energy efficiency programs in the U.S. is the identification and correction for net-to-gross (NTG) effects such as free ridership and spillover. Over the last twenty years, considerable effort and financial resources have been directed toward accurately measuring these effects. Furthermore, the correction for these NTG effects has direct, and sometimes, drastic impact on program savings.
APT and Opinion Dynamics discuss a new framework for the estimation of free ridership in upstream lighting programs grounded in sound, economically rational decision making on the part of retail partners. This approach, built on functional retail behavior, provides a clearer more insightful look into the elements comprising the retail sales environment thus providing program implementers with a more predictable outcome of end results – up front.

Critical Success Factors Influencing SOA implementations in Healthcare Drkonk
To promote a debate on HIS integration, this paper reviews the literature, on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).SOA has proved a useful integration paradigm in many sectors and recently by healthcare as well. SOA assures an environment of cooperating services where application services are interweaved within old and new applications. Nevertheless, SOA’s nature to extend beyond the technical infrastructure to organization and human elements requires further investigation. Some integration issues are unique for healthcare, where some are common issues that are faced by every domain. The aim of this research is to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSF) that affect SOA implementation in a healthcare perspective and provide useful insights of an emerging issue. In doing so, we extend the body of literature and evaluated our proposition through a case study in a large public healthcare organization.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Most progressive governments have institutionalized results-based
management leading to performance-enhancement and effective
delivery of progress and change. The objective of results based
management is to “provide a coherent framework for strategic plan-
ning and management based on learning and accountability in a
decentralised environment.”1 Introducing a results-based approach 1
Note on Results Based Management,

World Bank, 1997
“defining realistic expected results, monitoring progress toward the
achievement of expected results, integrating lessons learned into
management decisions and reporting on performance.”2 2

Agency”, CIDA, January 1999
• the definition of strategic goals which provide a focus for action;
• the specification of expected results which contribute to these
goals and align programs, processes and resources behind them;
• on-going monitoring and assessment of performance, integrating
lessons learnt into future planning;
• improved accountability, based on continuous feedback to improve
performance
Development programs and policies are designed to achieve
outcomes, for example, to raise incomes or improve agricultural
productivity. Impact evaluations are a part of developing evidence-
based policy. Outlining the Millennium Development Goals, Results
Framework Documents and performance-pay incentives, make imple-
menters focus on results that are set to be tracked internationally and
nationally. These results are to be used to increase accountability, for
budgeting and informing policy.
Monitoring and Evaluation is used to improve the quality, effi-
ciency and effectiveness of interventions.
2. Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Center of Excellence
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is key for the effective imple-
mentation of results-based management. Within a results-oriented
environment, the emphasis of M&E is on:
• active application of monitoring and evaluation information to
the continuous improvement of strategies, programs and other
activities;
• monitoring of substantive development results instead of just
inputs and implementation processes;
• monitoring and evaluation of results as they emerge instead of as
an ex-post activity;
• conducting monitoring and evaluation as joint exercises with
Government departments
Components for a functional M&E system
The World Bank identified twelve components of a working monitor-
ing and evaluation system following international peer review. This
approach was formally adopted by UNAIDS and partners, for their
M&E capacity building efforts in 2007, to support the measurement
and management of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The twelve components of a functional M&E system are3 3

As suggested by the authors, these Components may be used as an
organizing framework for planning a M&E system’s staff, resources,
support and funding requirements. It may be used as a reference for
conducting assessments of a national M&E system, akin to the RFD
framework, such that individual components may be assessed and
to divide responsibilities at a country level, as a framework within
which all partners can work together.
Methodology
Monitoring is a continuous process that is used to inform program
implementation and day-to-day management. It usually tracks per-
formance against expected results, facilitates comparisons across
programs and allows for the reviewing of trends over time. Inputs,
activities, outputs and occasionally outcomes, such as toward na-
tional and international development goals, are tracked.
Evaluations, meanwhile, are periodic objective assessments of com-
pleted projects, programs or policy. They set out to answer specific
questions about design, implementation and results or outcomes. To
justify them, programs should be,
Innovative To test a novel approach;
Replicable To decide on whether to scale up in a different setting,
geography or context;
Strategically relevant To review flagship initiatives;
Untested Globally or in context;
Influence policy
Cost-effectiveness of programs can be determined following im-
pact evaluations. Specifically, questions regarding the cost-benefit
balance of a given program and comparisons of the cost-effectiveness

of implementation alternatives can be answered based on the evi-
dence.
Impact evaluations should be approached pragmatically, that
is, the methods should fit the operational context, not vice versa.
This is achieved at the outset of programs, by designing prospective
impact evaluations into the project’s implementation. Evaluation
designs that fit the political and operational context are as important
as the method itself. Where policy makers and civil society demand
results and accountability from public programs, impact evaluations
provide credible evidence on performance and on whether a program
achieved its desired outcome.4 4

controlling inputs, say, funds utilized or literature distributed, than
on assessing whether a program has achieved a goal.
Attribution is the hallmark of impact evaluations. They assess the
improvements in the well-being of persons that can be attributed
to specific projects, programs or policy. It follows, that executed
correctly, impact evaluations should be carried out within a logi-
cal framework that set out causal pathways by which a program
produces outputs and influences outcomes.5 5

For example, the Government of Mexico recognized the need
to monitor and evaluate the roll out of the innovative conditional
cash transfer program called “Progresa” in the 1990s. Its objective
was to provide short-term support to create incentives to invest in
children’s human capital, primarily conditional on regular attendance
at school and visiting health centres. Impact evaluation was built into
the program’s scale-up and replication. External evaluators found,
in 2001, that the program targeted the poor well, improved school
enrollment by an average of 0.7 additional years of schooling, and
brought down illness by 23 percent among children and 19 percent
fewer sick or disability days among adults. The program reduced
the probability of stunting by 1 centimeter per year for children
between the ages of 12 and 36 months. The evidence contributed
to the decision by the new administration, following a presidential
election, to expand the program by proving upper-middle school
scholarships and health programs for adolescents. Other social
assistance programs, such as a large and well-targeted tortilla subsidy
program, were scaled back.
