| description |
Monitoring and evaluation systems are
often the least addressed component of project design, and
implementation. Yet, such systems have considerable
potential for enhancing the impact of projects, and the
understanding of poverty reduction impacts. This note
addresses what makes effective monitoring and evaluation,
where both quantitative, and participatory methods are
needed to assess a project's impact on poverty. It
examines the case of the Uganda Nutrition and Early
Childhood Development Project, a process-driven, locally
prioritized program, being implemented by a network of
nongovernmental organizations, that motivates communities,
and provide information to project participants. The project
relies on systematic monitoring of inputs and outputs, and,
community participation in planning, and monitoring
facilitates bottom-up feedback. The note further highlights
a randomized experimental design, i.e., a baseline and
follow-up surveys, that assess the impact of project
activities, of communication and information, and of
grassroots management training, and income generation
activities for community welfare. The benefits of proactive
monitoring and evaluation are that it enables timely inputs
into management decision making, and that the quantitative
methods used, are important determinants for assessing, and
verifying a project's impact. |
