  1. Monitoring of adopt a river project Anastasia Muiti, NEMA

  2. Why Monitor a Programme? • Monitoring and Evaluation is a key component of any programme and activity. • Monitoring and evaluation will help to see the outcomes of activities being implemented at the community level and the achievements realized.

  3. Monitoring needs to be: • Useful • Affordable • Light in work • Understandable

  4. Use monitoring information • Feeding learning into management cycle • Meeting reporting requirements • Supplying information for evaluations • Contributing to publications • Reducing risk • Helping a partner learn

  5. Monitoring ….. • Using outcome mapping (OM) • OM is an approach to planning and assessing projects that aim to bring real change & tangible change, was developed by IUCN • It actively engages the project team in designing a monitoring framework & evaluation plan & promotes self assessment OM considers: • Behaviour change, boundary partners, & contributions of each partner • OM is based on the principle of participation

  6. Boundary Partners • Those individuals, groups, and organizations with whom the program: • Interacts directly to effect change • Anticipates opportunities for influence • Engages in mutual learning Who is a boundary partner?

  7. Sphere of influence The rest of the world Adopt a River Program = partners

  8. Boundary Partners have Boundary Partners Programme program program’s bp bp’s bp

  9. Outcome Challenge: • Definition: OC describes the ideal behavioural changes, relationships, actions and interactions in the partner • Describes how these changes will contribute to the success of the program • Written like this: “The program/project intends to see the partners who are actively involved in data collection, uploading in MiniSASS and ultimately restoring the Nairobi rivers”.

  10. Changes Sought Changes in State Ecosystem Human System Changes in Behaviour 10

  11. Monitoring cntd…… • Each stakeholder/ boundary partner has a role to play towards the implementation of the project • The OM programme categorizes the activities into three (3) levels • The stakeholders are expected to progress from easy to achieve to truly transformative activities and therefore the activities are regarded as progress markers

  12. 3 Levels of Progress Markers The program sets out what it would: • Expect to seethe boundary partner doing? • Like to seethe boundary partner doing? • Love to seethe boundary partner doing?

  13. Progress markers = ladder of change Love to see Truly transformative Set quite high Like to see More active , engagement Expect to see Early response to program’s basic activities

  14. Progress markers are graduated • Move from easier to more difficult to achieve changes in behaviour • Describe the change process of a single boundary partner • Are more complete than a single indicator

  15. Monitoring Changes in the Stakeholders Two types of Journals are used to monitor and report progress. These are; Outcome Journal Progress markers – at the 3 levels you assess what you expect those you are engaging in to achieve. Progress Journal organizational practices and strategies/activities within your institution

  16. Outcome Journal • Uses progress markers to chart boundary partner’s progress • Sets starting point or benchmark • Captures details on changes in the boundary partner, contributing factors & actors, and sources of evidence

  17. Outcome journal • The Outcome Journal is kept and filled by the project contact person that the coordinating institution will work with in regard to project implementation in their institution . • E.g. Designated teacher, Patron of an environmental club; Community Development Officer or the Public Relations Officer; . • Each stakeholder is expected to note the project activities they are involved in. • The journal should state progress on each progress marker that they have implemented. • It should capture a description of activities, lessons learnt.

  18. Example of an Outcome Journal

  19. Example of an Outcome Journal

  20. Progress Journal • Captures data on the strategies being employed to encourage change in the boundary partner • Helps the program gauge its contributions to the achievement of outcomes and modify its actions accordingly • Feeds into work planning & (modifications) or new activities • Records data on how the program is operating as an organization to fulfill its mission • Includes information on the program’s practices

  21. Example of an progress Journal

  22. OM approach focuses on….. • Improving rather than proving. • Understanding rather than simply reporting. • Creativity and knowledge, rather than just taking credit.
