Your task
You are a NRM consultant who has been asked by the United Nations Environment Program
to bid on a project to prepare a monitoring, evaluation, reporting and learning plan for a
specific project. This project is a landscape restoration project for an area in the south east
of Efate Island that was logged historically and is now clear of vegetation, contributing to
soil erosion.
As part of your bid, you will need to give a five minute presentation (ideally using
PowerPoint or equivalent) on how you intend to design your plan. Please note, you are not
being asked to present the plan itself – rather, you are being asked to present the approach
for making your plan, so your potential client can decide who has the best approach.
We expect you to explore the grey literature to understand what types of content are
covered in monitoring, evaluation and learning plans, as well as the peer reviewed, with a
view towards improving upon current processes. You will need to strongly justify why your
proposed approach is the best way to prepare a monitoring, evaluation, reporting and
learning plan. You will also need to think through your client’s needs.
You will work on these tasks individually. You will present your plan during our practical
class.
