Basic Principles: Monitoring & Evaluation
The term Monitoring and Evaluation tends to get run
together but they are two distinct sets oforganisational activities which are related but not
identical.
The common ground between them is they enable
you to learn from what you are doing and how youare doing it by focusing on Efficiency, Effectiveness
and Impact.

Monitoring
Monitoring and evaluation is a
fundamental component of all healthprograms. It involves collecting key data
related to program objectives andoperations and analyzing these data to
guide policy, programs, and practices.

Monitoring
Program monitoring collects data at a number of
points during program implementation to ensure thatthe program is running smoothly and achieving its
objectives according to plan
By tracking changes in performance, managers can
fine-tune program operations to reach desiredoutcomes most efficiently and effectively

Evaluation
Evaluation involves a systematic, objective analysis
of a project’s outcome and impact in relation to itsgoals & objectives
Evaluation involves: Looking at what the organisation/department intended
to achieve- what difference did it make? What impact
did it want to make? Assessing its progress towards what it wanted to
achieve, its impact targets

Evaluation
Program evaluation generally involves more rigorous
research methods than does monitoring.
The purpose of evaluation is often to determine the
degree to which changes in health outcomes, such as
increased knowledge or improved prevention
methods are the result of program activities.

Evaluation
Evaluations typically include measures
both at the beginning and the end of aprogram and, when possible, include a
control or comparison group to helpdetermine whether changes in outcomes
result from program activities themselves,not from other influences outside the
program

M&E Planning
Important part of any M&E process is M&E Planning
M&E Plan:
A document that describes the M&E
system which links strategic informationobtained from various data collection
systems to decisions that will improvehealth programs.

Why M&E Plans
Need to monitor progress toward achievement of
strategic plan goals
Need to monitor progress of programmes & specificprojects
MUST be linked to your National Strategic Plan

M&E Frameworks
A critical first step in M&E Planning is the
development of an M&E Framework
The main reason we are here
Framework has been drafted, your input is now
critical as we move to implement a strong M&Esystem for the education sector
