  1. GEO 2012-15 Work Plan A Monitoring & Evaluation Perspective

  2. How do M&E and planning fit together? • Purposes of M&E: • Demonstrate achievement of meaningful results • Maximize our collective ability to achieve those results by identifying progress shortfalls • Monitoring is not primarily an M&E WG activity. • Implementation Boards, Task Coordinators/Teams, Secretariat perform most monitoring functions • M&E WG role to advise and support; look to build a complete “system” of monitoring • Work Plan is one of the essential foundations for M&E in GEO • Other documents also important, but Work Plan is the most detailed & systematic

  3. Process (logic) model Source: GEO Monitoring & Evaluation Framework Document

  4. In reality, the situation is more complex… And so on…

  5. Relation to the Work Plan Strategic Targets Document Work Plan

  6. Aspects of Monitoring Were the outputs produced as expected? Are performance indicator values consistent with expectations? Did the activities occur as planned? Were all of the planned inputs provided?

  7. Evaluation looks at the entire chain, from an independent perspective Particular focus on whether strategic targets likely to be met

  8. Good planning practice • Statements of activities & outputs should be clear and concrete • Statements should be objectively verifiable. It should be possible to determine later whether or not the activity or output was completed as planned. • Avoid vague adjectives, such as “improved”, “enhanced”. Describe what will be improved and in what way. • Outputs should not be phrased as actions (should not include verbs). They should also not be outcomes. • Activities should not repeat the output, e.g. “Develop report on…”. In general, there should be more activities than outputs. • Each activity and output should be a single, discrete item.

  9. Some examples of good practice Activities • Participate in meetings associated with radio regulators, in particular ITU-R but also other specialist interest groups. • EUMETSAT will hold an Africa User Conference to discuss and assess current use and requirements of EUMETCast-Africa users. Outputs • GCI Evolution and Operation Process Document (describing procedures and organization of task activities, interfaces and tools) • Tables of training needs identified by the SB users against training opportunities (e-learning and hands-on)
