Monitoring involves periodically checking the progress of program/project activities to spot problems and take necessary actions. Key things to monitor include the implementation level and timing compared to schedules, and the effectiveness of activities in accomplishing goals. Evaluation assesses whether strategies actually worked by examining what happened, whether the strategy was followed, if it was effective, and its intended and unintended results to inform future work. Evaluations should occur during planning, implementation, and at the end to understand impact and lessons learned.

implementation of program/project activities and checking on their progress periodically.
*To spot existing or potential
problems. *To take the necessary remedial actions. What Needs to be Monitored? • Level At what stage of project implementation are you? At what stage should you be? • Timing How much time have you spent on this activity? How much time is allotted? • Effectiveness What has been accomplished so far? EVALUATION An assessment of whether or not the program or project strategies actually worked in practice. What to Evaluate • What actually happened? • Was the strategy followed? Why or why not? • Did the strategy work? Why or why not? • How can the strategy be more effective? • Were the intended audience reached? Did they benefit from the program? • What were the intended and unintended results of the project? • What is the long term impact of the project? When to Evaluate • Formative Evaluation Systematic collection of information to aid decision- making during the planning stage. • Process Evaluation Analysis of a program/project on the continuing relevance, outputs, effectiveness, and impact of activities during implementation. • Summative Evaluation Summarize impact, accomplishments, lessons learned.
