This document outlines monitoring and evaluation tools and processes for employment programs. It defines monitoring as highlighting strengths and weaknesses to enable program improvements. Evaluation determines program success and explains outcomes. Key aspects of monitoring include gathering inputs, progress, results, impacts and management data. Evaluation assesses achievement of objectives and recommends improvements. Both quantitative and qualitative data should be analyzed to fully understand outcomes and processes. Regular interim and final evaluations are important to inform future programs.
Monitoring and evaluation provide real-time information on project implementation and more in-depth assessments, respectively. Monitoring checks progress toward goals and identifies issues to inform adjustments, while evaluation assesses what worked and didn't work independently. Both are integral to program management. Effective monitoring and evaluation establish what will be monitored and evaluated, responsibilities, methods, resources, and timing of activities to validate the program's logic and encourage improvements.
An Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation of Healthcare Projects. Monitoring and Evaluation is an integral component for the success of any donor-funded project as it provides accountability, and well-informed decisions through the use of data and plan that guides implementation
Monitoring and evaluation are important project management tools. Monitoring involves regularly collecting and analyzing information to track progress over time, while evaluation analyzes effectiveness and impact through making judgments about progress. Participatory monitoring and evaluation involves stakeholders jointly monitoring and evaluating activities. The main purposes of monitoring and evaluation are to assess results, improve management, promote learning, understand stakeholder perspectives, and ensure accountability.
Curriculum monitoring involves periodically assessing curriculum implementation and making adjustments. It determines how well the curriculum is working and informs decisions about retaining, improving, or modifying aspects. The document outlines the definition, rationale, types, roles, process, and similarities and differences between monitoring and evaluation. An effective monitoring system is simple, provides timely feedback, is cost-effective, flexible, accurate, comprehensive, relevant, and leads to learning. It involves clarifying roles, identifying evidence, data collection tools, training monitors, preparing staff, conducting monitoring, analyzing and sharing results, and determining a plan of action.
Monitoring is a continuous process that collects and analyzes data on project implementation and results to assess progress towards objectives and recommend corrective actions. It provides regular feedback to stakeholders on performance against plans and standards. The key functions of monitoring are to provide early warnings of any shortfalls in inputs or outputs to enable timely corrective actions by management and track actual performance against what was planned. Evaluation is a periodic assessment that seeks to identify factors related to a program's effectiveness and determine lessons for improving future projects. It judges program activities and appraises data to assess short-term impacts on beneficiaries.
The document defines monitoring as the regular collection of project data to track progress and make timely decisions, while evaluation is a periodic, objective assessment of all aspects of a project to determine effectiveness. It describes different types of monitoring like implementation and results monitoring, and various types of evaluation including formative, outcome, impact, and summative evaluations. Quality evaluation should be impartial, useful, technically adequate, include feedback, and provide good value relative to the project's cost.
The document discusses concepts related to developing an action plan, including defining actions and activities. It describes a 5-step process for establishing a logframe matrix to design actions and their attributes. This includes formulating statements of outputs and activities, defining assumptions, indicators, and means of verification. Nesting logframes allows wider objectives to be broken down into specific objectives relevant to local contexts. Monitoring and evaluation measure progress against expected objectives and use indicators to do so. Different types of evaluation are also outlined.
The document discusses strategies for implementing plans and monitoring their progress. It emphasizes that implementation turns strategies into actions to achieve objectives, and that a strategy without proper implementation is ineffective. Key aspects of effective implementation include having committed leadership, clear communication, sufficient resources, and accountability. The document also stresses the importance of monitoring and evaluation to track progress, identify challenges, and make adjustments to continually improve plans. Both monitoring and evaluation provide feedback but serve different purposes - monitoring provides real-time data while evaluation provides in-depth assessment.
This document discusses key principles of monitoring and evaluation for youth employment programs. It defines monitoring as continuous data collection to assess implementation, while evaluation determines a program's overall effectiveness and impact. Critical components include: having a clear theory of change linking inputs to outcomes; establishing performance indicators to measure progress; setting targets and baselines; and considering cost-effectiveness. Process indicators track participant characteristics and implementation, while outcome indicators like placement rates assess if the program is achieving employment goals. Disaggregating data by participant demographics and job characteristics allows for thorough performance analysis.

DNA is composed of genes stored as chromatin in the cell nucleus. It is replicated semi-conservatively before cell division to produce an identical copy for each daughter cell. DNA is a double helix formed by pairing of nucleotides through hydrogen bonds according to base pairing rules. Replication proceeds bidirectionally from an origin site and always in the 5'-3' direction using RNA primers and several proteins like DNA polymerase, helicase and ligase. Errors are corrected by DNA repair mechanisms like mismatch repair to maintain genome integrity.
Chilling and heat Unit requirements for horticultural cropsAyush Mishra
Chilling requirement refers to the minimum period of cold weather that fruit-bearing trees need to blossom. It is measured in chilling hours or units. Trees need to accumulate a certain number of chilling units below a threshold temperature, typically between 0-7°C, for dormancy to be broken and blossoming to occur properly. Insufficient chilling can lead to reduced and lower quality yields or even a complete loss of harvest for the year. Different fruits have different chilling requirements that must be considered when selecting varieties for a given region's climate conditions.

NEONICOTINOIDS & ITS EFFECT ON HONEY BEESAyush Mishra
Neonicotinoids are a class of systemic insecticides related to nicotine. They are widely used globally due to their effectiveness against insects and low toxicity to mammals. However, research has shown they are highly toxic to bees even at low levels. Bees can be directly exposed through contaminated nectar or pollen or indirectly through dust from seed coating or honeydew from insects exposed to neonics. Both acute and chronic exposure has been shown to impair bee health and cause colony collapse disorder. Given bees play a key role in pollinating many important agricultural crops, protecting honeybee populations from neonicotinoids is important for global food security and agriculture.

Masters seminar on Privatization of Agricultural Extension Services.Ayush Mishra
Privatization of Agricultural Extension Services.
Extension services have been traditionally funded, managed and delivered by government all over the world. The Monopoly of public sector extension has been challenged since 1980 with the emergence of many private players, who also fund and deliver extension services. This process of funding and delivering the extension services by private individual or organization is called Private extension. The primary reason behind the agricultural extension privatization is declining trend in government expenditure for extension in several countries, including India over the last few decades. With an increase in commercialized farming in the developing countries during 21st century, production system is shifting to demand driven from supply driven that demands a technically sound & client accountable extension service which is not just limited to input supply and advisory services but also seek processing and marketing of the produce. Challenges and opportunities possessed by globalization & liberalization era calls for structural and functional adjustment with cost effective & need based extension service. The public extension, facing financial & technical constraints has disappointing performance & the need for private extension service becomes even more important in these changing times. Decentralization, cost sharing, cost recovery withdrawal from selected services, and contracting are some of the options exercised by various governments in privatizing extension services.
Keywords: Agricultural extension, private extension service, privatization.

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 :

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.
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
