  1. A Human Rights-Based Approach to MonitoringSession 6 (cont.)

  2. Monitoring vs. Evaluation

  3. A Human Rights Based Approach to Monitoring Monitoring that is sensitive to human rights applies the human rights principles and standards to inform and strengthen… Results and indicators Processes (both development processes and processes for monitoring and reporting) It asks some fundamental questions What to measure? Who to involve? How to measure?

  4. What to Measure? Ideally: Results Outputs Outcomes Impacts (often tied to National monitoring systems for the National Plans, PRSs, and MDGs) Mechanisms and processes for programme implementation, monitoring and reporting

  5. Who to Involve? Another way of thinking about how to apply principles of ‘participation and inclusion’ to M&E process A HRBA Ensures that both rights-holders and duty-bearers are involved in M&E Will pay special attention to measures that include vulnerable groups

  6. How to Measure? Human rights principles and standards guide the selection of indicators and the development of monitoring and reporting systems Indicators should be chosen that: Capture the extent to which human rights principles have been incorporated into all stages of the programme Demonstrate how incorporating human rights standards has contributed to overall programme effectiveness (need practical example of this) Processes must be non-discriminatory, participatory and accountable Be wary of “elite capture”

  7. What is an indicator? A tool to measure evidence of progress towards a result or that a result has been achieved

  8. Indicators Indicators describe how the intended results will be measured - accountability Objectively verifiable measures of a particular condition They force clarification of what is meant by the result  like the “fine print” of an agreement Must be accompanied by baselines and targets

  9. Baseline, Target and Achievement Performance Commitment Achievement At end of period Planned Level of Achievement Current Level of Achievement Baseline Target Achievement

  10. Types of Indicators Quantitative statistical measures: Number of Frequency of % of Ratio of Variance with Qualitative judgments or perceptions: Alignment with Presence of Quality of Extent of Level of

  11. Example: Indicators, Baseline, Target and Source of Data Indicator: Net enrolment ratio (M; F) Baseline: F:45% Target: F: 75% - Improvement in school test scores Outcome: By 2007, more girls in Belem Province enjoy a quality, basic education • Source of Data • MICS (survey) • Annual school test scores report • Indicator: • # Teachers with new certification • Baseline: 0 • Target: 800 • Teacher proficiency reports • Improvement of school satisfaction ratings Output: 800 teachers in Belem Province can deliver the new curriculum effectively • Source of Data: • MECYS EMIS • School satisfaction surveys

  12. HRBA and indicator development Inclusiveness: Do your indicators capture the experience of vulnerable and marginalised groups? Can your indicators be disaggregated? Ownership: Have RHs and DBs contributed to the development of the indicators? Do they have confidence in the indicators chosen? Clarity: Are they clear and understandable to all audiences, including vulnerable and marginalised groups?

  13. Group Work (30 m) In Groups… Develop 2 indicators for each outcome and contributing output Add to your results framework…

  14. Group Work (15 m) In Groups… Choose 1 principle from… Equality and non-discrimination Participation and inclusion Accountability and rule of law Make up to 3 changes in your results framework (results and indicators) to reflect the principle Be ready to present in plenary…

  15. Human Rights Principles Universality and inalienability Indivisibility Interdependence and Inter-relatedness Equality and non-discrimination Participation and inclusion Accountability and rule of law

  16. Gallery Your opportunity to “visit” other groups and give feedback Reflect on… The logical flow of results and use of change language The SMART-ness of the framework, particularly the formulation of indicators, assumptions and risks The linkage between the results framework and the human rights-based analysis.  Is it intuitive?  Do the results respond to the underlying and root problems revealed by the analysis?  Do the outcomes show changes in the performance of rights-holder to claim their rights, duty-bearers to meet their obligations?  Do the outputs address identified capacity gaps? !! Remember - leave comments behind on post-it notes.
