  2. Why Standardized M&E Terminology? • A common understanding of M&E terminology is critical for: • maintaining clear communication • taking a common approach UNCT 26th February 2009

  3. M&E Definitions: Why Standardized M&E Terminology? • Monitoring—routine tracking and reporting of priority information about a plan / program / project, its inputs and intended outputs, outcomes and impacts • Measurement of progress toward achieving program/project objectives; most often involves counting what we are doing. UNCT 26th February 2009

  4. M&E Definitions: Why Standardized M&E Terminology? Evaluation—the rigorous, scientifically-based collection of information about plan / program / intervention activities, characteristics, and outcomes that determine the merit or worth of the program/intervention

  5. The Purpose of M&E Program Improvement Data Sharing with Partners Reporting/ Accountability

  6. M&E Definitions: Results – RBM approach • UNDAF and agency programmes in terms of a hierarchy of SMART results which has five levels: • MDG related national priority/ goal (equated with impact) • UNDAF outcome, know in Moz also as pillars • Outcome of one or more agencies working together • Output usually of one agency, but possibly of more than one working together • Activity Result

  7. M&E Definitions: Results – RBM approach

  8. The chain of results: causal sequence for an intervention to achieve desired objective ACTIVITIES OUTPUTS OUTCOMES IMPACT INPUTS Quality of life Conditions: . Human . Economic . Civic . Environment MDGs: . Poverty . Morbidity . Mortality . HIV prevalence . Education . Employment . Gender equality . Services - Access - Quality . Awareness . Knowledge . Attitude . Capacities . Competency . Opinion . Aspiration . Motivation . Behaviors . Practices . Decision . Utilization of services .Infrastructure . Human . Finance . Equipment . Technology . Policy . Time . Volunteers . Partners . Management . Training . Counseling . Logistic management . Operation research . BCC . Conference . Facilitation . etc. UNCT 26th February 2009 Measure process Measure impact

  13. M&E Definitions: Indicators An Indicator is…. a variable that measures oneaspect of a program/project and useful to measure changes Indicators are measures used to monitor progress made towards theachievement of intended RESULTS, considering as the output, outcome or impact of a development intervention.

  14. M&E Definitions: SMART Indicators Specific: indicators need to measure what they claim to measure Measurable: can be quantified and measured by some scale Achievable: can data on the indicator actually be colleted? Relevant: does it provide information that is relevant to the programme decision makers? Time-bound: when is change expected?

  15. Strategic Planning for M&E: Setting Realistic Expectations All Most Some Few* Number of Projects Input/ Output Monitoring Process Evaluation Outcome Monitoring / Evaluation Impact Monitoring / Evaluation Levels of Monitoring & Evaluation Effort 15

  16. Key messages: • The main purpose of M&E is programme/project improvement. • M&E is not only about INDICATORS. • M&E is an essential management tool and it is present along programme/project implementation. • M&E starts with the planning process.
