 Summary Discussion

Monitoring

Monitoring is the daily checking of progress information to ensure that it is moving in

the right direction. It often entails monthly to quarterly reporting on outputs, activities,
and resource utilization. It should be implemented to ensure that what was planned is
carried out accordingly and within the appropriate resources.

Examples:
Table 1. Example of Monitoring

Monitoring Example
Monitoring individual’s vital Pulse rate, Blood pressure, Oxygen
statistics. level, Complete blood count, etc.
Monitoring the environment of an Lighting, temperature, scenarios,
individual. colors, etc.
Monitoring the budget and assets of Stocks, properties, sales, etc.
an individual.
Monitoring the growth of a plant. Height, weight, color, number of
new seedlings, etc.
Monitoring the changes that occur Puberty, Influences, Physical
on an individual. changes, etc.

Evaluation

The process of determining whether a program has attained its objectives is known as
evaluation. Used to aid in the development of learning and knowledge among
stakeholders, or it may be summative, such as expressing the degree of achievement. It
seeks to know the relevance, impact, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of
interventions and contributions to the outcomes obtained.

It should deliver evidence-based information that is trustworthy, reliable, and valuable.

 Example:

Indicators

It is the core part of Monitoring and Evaluation. It Identifies if the objectives of a

certain program or project or act on a trigger have been met and should be SMART
(specific, measurable, achievable and attributable, relevant and realistic, and time-bound)
(CoastAdapt, 2017).
Health indicators are indicators that summarize information about the priority areas of
population health or the performance of the medical system. Provides equivalent action
information across different geographic or organizational boundaries and allows you to
track progress over time (Canadian Institute for Health Information, 2021).

Examples:

- The Price of a Standard Hospital Stay

- Rate of Cardiac Revascularization
- The proportion of Doctors in Rural Areas

Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

A framework improves comprehension of the program's goals and objectives,

identifies the linkages between important implementation aspects, and summarizes the
internal and external factors that may impact the program's success. It describes how the
program functions by outlining the components and processes required to accomplish the
desired objectives. The monitoring and evaluation are guided by a clear framework (UN
Women, 2010).
The Monitoring and Evaluation Framework is a product designed to guide the
performance of monitoring and assessment functions throughout the lifecycle of a
program or other action. Monitoring and evaluation capabilities are essential for the
effective implementation of programs or initiatives. It provides a comprehensive plan for
performing program monitoring and evaluation functions. These include step-by-step
implementation and usage over time. The monitoring and evaluation framework defines
the delimitations between monitoring and periodic evaluation occurring in a program or
initiative. It focuses on relevance, efficiency, efficiency, impact, sustainability and can
use a basis for investigation. Shows how to collect, aggregate, and regularly analyze data
to answer consensus evaluation questions. It should support the formative and summative
evaluation process (Markiewicz and Patrick, 2016).
 These are models, images, or maps that visualize the factors leading to the
intervention. It can be a map of how the program should work and determine the
relationship between the program's performance and the factors that affect the
achievement of its goals. Shows the relationships between program inputs, processes,
outputs, and outcomes. It connects the program with the desired impact. Inputs are
necessary to create processes, which drive the production of outputs and outcomes
(USAID and Measure Evaluation, 2006)

Input measures how the project is implemented.

Process measures the resource delivery activity dedicated to a program or project.

Monitor performance during implementation and track progress towards the intended
result.

Output, assess the extent to which the project achieves the desired outcomes, and identify
intermediate outcomes.
Impact, evaluate the extent to which the project has impacts and to the project's long-term
results (CPD Unit, 2012)

Example:
 Table 3. Example of a Monitoring and Evaluation framework for a national TB
program from the CPD Unit. This framework shows the linear relationships between
inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes, and impact.
