    INTRODUCTION TO
    MONITORING AND EVALUATION
    OBJECTIVES
    • To understand the importance of
    monitoring and evaluation, key
    concepts and frameworks
    • To consider how gender can be
    incorporated into M&E
    TOPICS
    • What is M&E?
    • Why engage in M&E?
    • Gender and M&E
    • Logical framework approach
    • Project lifecycle
    • Data collection and analysis
    • Evaluation design
    KEY TERMS
    • Indicator • Goal
    • Input • Target
    • Output • Baseline
    • Intermediate result • Impact
    • Outcome • Gender
    • Objective
    EXERCISE: WHAT IS MONITORING
    AND EVALUATION (M&E)?

    MONITORING
    • Continuous internal management
    activity
    • Ensures that project is on track
    • Measures progress towards objectives
    • Identifies problems
    EVALUATION
    • Assessing whether a project is achieving
    its intended objectives
    • Conducted periodically
    • Internal or external
    • Focuses on outcomes and impacts
    WHY IS M&E IMPORTANT?
    • Tracking resources
    • Feedback on progress
    • Improving project effectiveness
    • Informing decisions
    • Promoting accountability
    • Demonstrating impact
    • Identifying lessons learned
    GENDER AND M&E
    • Gendered priorities, constraints and
    impact
    • Failure to address gender leads to
    inefficient and unsustainable results
    and exacerbates inequities
    GENDER ANALYSIS
    • Can be undertaken at any stage but
    most effective if included in design
    • Systematic way of analyzing different
    roles and impacts
    • Asks the “who” questions
    • How this will affect women and men?
    MEASURING WOMEN’S
    PARTICIPATION AND IMPACT
    • Lack of reliable data on basic facts
    • Keeps us from getting the most out of
    investments
    • “What gets measured gets done”
    • Not enough invested in collecting data
    nor in quantifying how equality yields
    benefits

    EXAMPLE: MEASURING IMPACT
    Women’s representation/leadership on
    Indian local councils:
    • Better access to drinking water and
    immunizations
    • Higher career aspirations and
    educational attainment for girls
