This module will explain the basic tools and systems needed to undertake these tasks effectively, even with limited staff resources. Templates are included with this module, which can be used for organizational use, planning or training purposes. These templates are designed to give the opportunity for both organizational and personal development. They are suggestions only, and should be adapted and modified to be as useful as possible to the needs and capacity of the organization. If you are working alone on this module, you may find it helpful to talk over some of the points with someone else.  \nWhat is monitoring and evaluation?  \n• Monitoring and evaluation ─ or M&E as it is commonly referred to ─ is a dual-purpose framework that covers both tracking (monitoring) and assessing (evaluating) what your group is doing, measured against what you planned to do.  \n• M&E is a program management tool that allows you to learn from your past work to plan and/or improve future work.  \n• M&E is an information management tool that allows you to gather and maintain both quantitative and qualitative data, which can be used in proposal and report writing, for a formal evaluation, for strategic planning, and for education, outreach, communications and advocacy materials.  \n• M&E is an organizational management system that can provide anything from a quick snapshot toa more in-depth analysis of the financial and organizational health of a group.  \nYOUR TURN  \n*Have you ever been involved in an M&E exercise – either in a formal or informal way?  \n*What was your role?  \n*What did you learn?  \n*How did you use what you learned?  \nWhy is M&E needed and useful?  \nThe information helps you    \n• record the history of the organization, campaign and/or movement  \n• analyze trends  \n• identify emerging issues and problems  \n• learn from current and past activities  \n• prepare funding proposals  \n• report in a consistent way to funders  \n• prepare for strategic planning exercises/discussions or organizational reviews of any type  \n• prepare for more formal evaluation processes, either internal or those involving external evaluators  \nThe exercise provides . . .  \n• a way of critically assessing work in a constructive way  \n• an opportunity to think about your role and responsibilities in the organization  \n• an opportunity to think organizationally rather than just individually  \n• a forum for trying out new ideas or different ways of working  \n• a reality check on the organization’s capacity to undertake specific activities and programs  \n• team-building potential  \n• professional development opportunities  \nThe tools you will need for M&E  \nTool \\#1: A Work Plan  \nWhy?  \nThis is the basic document(s) against which you measure how much you have done and explain what adjustments were made to your planned activities and why. It can be an organization-wide work plan and/or an individual work plan.  \nComponents  \nGoal: The ‘big picture’ statement or strategy of what you are aiming to accomplish for the  \norganization  \nObjective: The specific purpose behind the work proposed  \nActivities: Proposed activities that will support the realization of your objective  \nOutputs: Direct products or services arising from the activities  \nOutcomes: Change(s) that can be attributed to the outputs ─ the effect achieved  \nIndicators: Quantitative and qualitative measurement tools to support or denote progress and change  \nPerson(s): Person(s) responsible (position and/or name) by activity  \nTimeline: By activity ─ it can be ongoing or event specific, like a workshop  \nVariance: Changes between what was planned, what happened and why  \nNOTE:  \n1. ‘Outputs’ and ‘Outcomes’ are in common usage, since many funders now require presenting results (what has been achieved) in these terms","cbCaipztRjK0XtGv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipztRjK0XtGv","pdf",125323,6,"English","# Introduction\n## What is monitoring and evaluation?\n## Why is M&E needed and useful?\n# The tools you will need for M&E\n## Tool #1: A Work Plan\n## Tool #2: A Reporting and Monitoring System","[{\"question\":\"What is monitoring and evaluation (M\\u0026E) and what does it include?\",\"answer\":\"M\\u0026E is a dual-purpose framework combining monitoring (tracking) and evaluation (assessing) work against what was planned.
