Monitoring
Monitoring is the collection, analysis and ongoing use of information for management and decision making. Therefore, it represents a comprehensive and regular review of a project’s resources, products and results. This is an ongoing process with the intention of immediately correcting any gap from operational objectives.
Taking charge of your expectations:
- With the concept of grant award based on outcomes practical systems should be used to implement an approach that equals « accountability need « and « efficiency ».
- What activities are underway and what progress has been made (e.g. on the basis of weekly intervals)?
- What is the consumption rate of the resources and the expenses incurred with regards to implementation (e.g. monthly)?
- Are the expected outcomes achieved (e.g. quarterly update)? (Efficiency)
- To what extent do these results contribute to the strategic goal (e.g. biannual analysis)? (Efficiency)
- What are the changes that have occurred in the project environment ?
- Are these assumptions true ?
Specific expertise:
Relevance:
- The relevance of the project strategic goals in light of the problems to be addressed and the physical and political environment in which it operates;
- The assessment of the project’s preparation and design quality, i.e. the logic and completeness of the project planning process.
To what extent are the programme objectives relevant with regards to changing needs and priorities, both at national and regional level?
Efficiency:
- Achievement of outcomes at a reasonable cost, i.e. how the inputs/means have been converted into outputs in terms of quality, quantity and time and the quality of the outcomes. It should generally be to compare alternative approaches for the same outputs, to see if the most efficient process was adopted.
How the various inputs have been economically converted into products, outputs and outcomes?

The assessment of the outputs’ contribution in achieving the project’s objective and the way assumptions have affected the achievements of the project.
