Hey this is quite interesting as you realy find difficulties in differentiating between evaluation and monitoring.I also think you need to have indicators in order to proceed with monitoring and as well as with evaluation.Now my problem lies with identifying indicators.Can one assist me with that.

M&E Plan should be viewed as a summary Performance Management Tool. It should thus contain all the necessary elements to make it complete and robust. It should be closely intertwined with the Theory of Change and the logic of change. It should be a product of a pluralistic approach so that its architecture reflects the essence of the development effort. Otherwise, good sharing and guidance.

Thanks for the great write up! I have not fully studied it. I would suggest also include the following as elements in the M&E Plan

DATA MANAGEMENT ANS USE
—How will monitoring data be stored?
—How will monitoring data be processed/analysed?
—How will monitoring data be shared/used?

It is certainly an exhaustive list. I would add right at the beginning a definiton of what is meant by M&E. I find enormous variations in what people mean by monitoring, by evaluation and by monitoring&evalaution.

Thanks Rick, this is quite handy as a check. As you say, it should already be known. However, I’ve seen quite a few frameworks that do not include anything on resources.

Cheers,

Stewart
