INTRODUCTION
- Countries across the world agree that monitoring and evaluation
play a strategic role in helping governments make informed
decisions that can transform public services, and consequently,
people’s lives. While a few countries have made significant
headway in legislating and setting up their respective whole-of-
government systems for evaluating major programs and projects,
most other countries have either set up fragments of evaluation
mechanisms for certain sectors like health and education.

11. METHODS OF WORK AND SOME
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines

12. 1: Preparing for Project
Monitoring and Evaluation
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines
● The Preparation of Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
- assist in understanding and analyzing the program
- help to develop monitoring and evaluation plans and
implementation of monitoring and evaluation activities
- key performance indicators are indicated

13. 2: Monitoring and Activities
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines
• RESULT
MONITORING • GRIEVANCE MONITORING
- measuring and reporting if
Project Implementation is
progressing in the right
pace and direction toward
achieving the framework
- records complaints, positive or
negative feedback about
program implementation and
problems, issues, needs,
concerns and observations

14. 3: Documentation of the Process
of Project Implementation
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines
● Documentation encourages knowledge sharing,
which empowers the team to understand how
processes work and what finished projects
typically look like.

15. 4: Continuing Clarification of the
Indicators/Standards for
Monitoring and Evaluation
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines
● Good indicators need to be easily understood and meaningful to those
who seek to use the information they provide. Indicators are facts
about project implementation results, not actions. Indicators are signs
of progress. Thus, an indicator should be defined in precise and
unambiguous terms that describe clearly and exactly what is being
measured.ed

16. 5: The People Should Never be
Tied to Project Alone
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines
● The People/beneficiaries should not focus or dedicate on
the project implementation alone but also embrace the the
value of community organizing that geared towards the
continuing capability building, self reliance and
empowerment.

17. 6: The Project’s Implementation
and Management Should be
Summed up
Steps and Activities in Project Monitoring and Evaluation: Methods of Work and Some Important Guidelines
● By revealing critical
implementation gaps, M&E
plans help make project more
effective.
● The implementation and
management of project review
will aid in the analysis that can
help in the implementation of
ongoing projects as well as help
inform decision on new project.
● This means that each
round of M&E helps
agencies reach more
people and make even
greater impact.
