MONITORING AND EVALUATION
The objective of monitoring and evaluation is to assist all project participants in assessing project performance and impact, with a view to maximizing both. Monitoring is the continuous or periodic review and surveillance by management of the implementation of an activity to ensure that all required actions are proceeding according to plan. Evaluation is a process for determining systematically and objectively the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and impact of the activities in light of their objectives. Ongoing evaluation is the analysis, during the implementation phase, of continuing relevance, efficiency and effectiveness and the present and likely future outputs, effects and impact.
The project will be evaluated on the basis of:
Execution performance. Monitoring will concentrate on the management
and supervision of project activities, seeking to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of project implementation. It is a continuous process which will
collect information about the execution of activities programmed in the annual
workplan, advise on improvements in method and performance, and compare accomplished
with programme tasks. This activity will be the direct responsibility of the National
and Regional Coordinators, under the supervision of the UNU Senior Academic Officer,
with advice from the Steering Committee Members.
Delivered outputs. Ongoing evaluation will assess the project's
success in producing each of the programmed outputs, both in quantity and quality.
Internal assessment will be continuously provided by the Steering Committee Members,
and mid-term and final evaluation of outputs will be carried out by external consultants
contracted by UNEP in consultation with UNU.
Project impacts. Impact evaluation will assess the project's
success in achieving concrete, measurable changes in the natural environment,
people's livelihoods and the enabling environment as a prerequisite for sustaining
achieved improvements. The tools, methods and indicators for measuring the project
impacts will be determined during the initial regional workshop to ensure adequate
stakeholder participation in the design of the impact monitoring framework and
a standardized approach shared by the involved countries.
