Sharpening the Development Process; A Practical Guide to Monitoring and Evaluation
This book provides a detailed introduction to the process of developing monitoring and evaluation systems which will provide a foundation on which to develop personal and organisational learning.
About the Author: Oliver Bakewell is a Senior Researcher at INTRAC, Jerry Adams is a Senior Capacity Building Specialist at INTRAC, and Brian Pratt is the Executive Director. Extract: Monitoring and evaluation can help increase the communication between different stakeholders by exposing them to each other’s perspectives on an intervention. This may be closely related to learning but it may also extend to those who have no direct influence on the implementation of the project. Thus clients may learn something about the donor agency, the northern public may learn more about the reality of the people they are supporting, either through donations to an NGO or their taxes. To succeed in this, the monitoring and evaluation should be carried out in such a way that the different stakeholders do not feel threatened, so they can openly discuss successes and problems faced by the project.
This book provides a detailed introduction to the process of developing monitoring and evaluation systems which will provide a foundation on which to develop personal and organisational learning. It is based on INTRAC's research, consultancy and training work and is rooted in real experiences. The guide will enable people who have limited experience of M&E to grasp its core concepts, and to apply them to the development of an M&E system. The guide is sufficiently concise to be read from cover to cover and will equally function as a reference work. Reference sections provide information about different approaches, tools and methodologies which will enable readers to fine-tune their approach to their particular set of needs and circumstances. This guide is offered as a contribution to the development community to assist it in its work and facilitate the processes of action and reflection, or ‘Praxis’.
