| Summary: | The purpose of this sourcebook is to
pull together into a single document a collection of common
sense tips and recommendations based on actual practices and
experience around the world. The sourcebook aims first and
foremost to help strengthen Monitoring and Evaluation
(M&E) capacity at the national and sub-national levels,
and to ensure a consistency of approach and methodology so
that, at the global level, sufficient reliable and timely
information can be accessed from the different countries and
used to make cross-country comparisons and to calculate
development indicators at the global level. The sourcebook
is specifically targeted towards countries where conditions
are less-than-ideal, particularly with respect to the
availability of relevant information. The sourcebook also
shows how a service delivery approach can be used to select
indicators which can generate useful, easy-to-measure early
outcome measures. It suggests that greater use be made of
qualitative indicators, such as access, use and
satisfaction. The sourcebook devotes considerable attention
to the need for a strong statistical infrastructure and
reviews the range of different statistical instruments available. |
