Aimed at small and medium sized voluntary organisations approaching monitoring and evaluation for the first time, this volume looks at how to set up successful monitoring systems. What to monitor, how to go about it, and what to do with the information are the main areas covered in this book.
The objective of the manual is to provide a concise set of participatory guidelines for planning, monitoring and evaluating both pilot and national stove programmes. It aims to clarify the objectives of M&E, develop a framework for planning and managing stove programmes, develop an effective monitoring and evaluation training method, develop a simple, low cost participatory method for collecting, analysing and using information to improve the acceptability/performance of the stoves, outline one method that can be used to disseminate information about the stove.
A basic introduction to the techniques that could be used in participatory monitoring and evaluation. Outlines the development and utility of participatory monitoring and evaluation as of the late 1980s, and how it has evolved for use in community forestry projects. The methods used (community selection and community problem analysis as well as ongoing monitoring and evaluation) are discussed, including specific evaluation events and the methods for dissemination and communication of results. Finally, some of the tools used are given, with an overview of their main characteristics, uses and drawbacks. While these tools are not termed PRA in this report, they are the same as tools used at the participatory appraisal stage.
This book brings together the main papers and the workshop discussions from an international conference held in Swansea in 1989. They cover four major themes: qualitative indicators to be used in evaluation; methodologies for social development evaluation; partnership in evaluation, and the changing nature of relationships between funders/donors and recipients; the role and position of the evalutor.
A guideline for SNV personnel and field staff in the implementation of gender-conscious monitoring and evaluation in projects and country programmes. Points of departure and pre-conditions for gender-conscious monitoring and evaluation are discussed, plus the information which needs to be collected for these procedures. The volume also contains a large number of practical instruments and techniques which can be used for gender-conscious monitoring and evaluation.
This Guide explains why gender-sensitive indicators are useful tools for measuring the results of CIDA's development initiatives. It concentrates in particular on projects with an end-user focus, and shows how gender-sensitive indicators can and should be used in both gender integrated and WID (Women in development)-specific projects, and in combination with other evaluation techniques. After introducing concepts, the Guide reviews the techniques of choosing and using indicators at the project level, so that CIDA staff can utilise them as an instrument of results-based management.
This handbook can be used to review the main approaches to using gender-sensitive indicators, and to determine which type of indicators to use. It concentrates on gender integrated and WID (Women in Development) specific projects with an end-user/local stakeholder focus. It should be used as a companion to the more comprehensive "Guide to Gender-Sensitive Indicators", which contains fuller discussions of concepts, methods, and case studies.
