I.Dare2WowM&EPlanning

The Monitoring and Evaluation Planing - M&E Strategy, has been developed by theDare2Wowconsortiuminordertoprovideclearanceontwoimportantsubjects:

• M&EofProjectPerformance

Monitoring focuses on the management and supervision of the project activities, seeking toimprove efficiency and overall effectiveness of project implementation. This is a continuousprocessfromallpartnerstocollectinformationontheactualimplementationofprojectactivitiescomparedtothesameasbeingscheduledontheprojectproposalapplication–theperformanceevaluation is looking at delivering quality outputs in a timely manner, identifying possibleproblems and constraints – technical, human resources and financial), to make clearrecommendationsforcorrectactions,identifylessonslearntandbestpracticesfordealingwithpossible issues, etc. Performance evaluation is to assess the project’s success in achieving itsobjections.

• M&EofProjectImpactContinuousmonitoringthroughouttheproject’slifeonhowoutcomesareachieved,monitoringofthefivekeyindicatorsasstatedwithintheprojectproposalandfurtherreview/refineoftheseindicatorsinregardswiththeproject’sdevelopment.

In this context, “Textile heritage - from theWoodenloOmWeavingtotheDigitalARt”(DARE2WOW)aims to reach its objectives through three maincomponents:

1. Transnational cooperation andinformation sharing to promotesustainable and productive projectimplementation – looking closely atprojectactivitiesandoutcomes;

2. Capacityandknowledgedevelopmentatall levels to promote and supportsustainable project management withregards to the partnering teamsinvolved;

3. Implementationofimprovedpracticesinthe area of textile production andexploration to benefit all stakeholdersand users – focusing on the project’stargetgroup.

Monitoringandevaluatingproject’sperformanceandimpactwillcontributetoimprovedecisionmaking andmanagement, by keeping the progress on track towards achieving the outcomes,developingtheobjectivesandintegratingthelessonslearntintotheplanningprocess.

DARE2WOWKEYINDICATORS

1. Establishing of a strong

StrategicPartnership;2. Identify methods to

address project’s targetgroupneeds;

3. Train stakeholders to useproject’s intellectualproducts;

4. Increaseawarenessamongall stakeholders on theproject’s intellectualproducts;

5. Pilot-testing project’sintellectualproducts

Ayearafter theproject’sexecution,amidtermreportwillbesubmitted to the fundingagency(July2016),andattheendoftheprojectafinalevaluationwilltakeplace–September&October2017.

Mid-TermEvaluationA year in the project (around July-August 2016) a mid-term evaluation will determine theprogressthathasbeenmadetowardsachievingtheoutcomessetwithintheinitialproposal.Thiswill be an opportunity to collect constructive recommendations to address key problemsidentifies.TheMid-Termevaluationisto:

• Revieweffectiveness,efficiencyandtimelinessofprojectimplementation;• Analyse partnership involvement on the implementation of the different tasks

withregardstotheWorkingPackagesassetintheprojectproposal;• Identifyissuesrequiringdecisionsandremedialactions;• Identify lessons learned about the project design, implementation and

management;• Highlighttechnicalachievements;• Analysewhetherallproposedactivitiesareontrackwithrespecttoachievingthe

expectedresults;and• Proposeanymid-coursecorrectionsand/oradjustmentsasnecessary.

FinalEvaluationTheFinalevaluationistotakeplacetwomonthsaftercompletingtheprojectandwillfocusonthe same issues as theMid-Term evaluation. In addition, the final evaluationwill review theproject’s impact,analysesustainabilityandwhethertheprojecthasreachedtheoutcomesthathavebeendesignedtocomplete.

II.ProjectPerformanceM&E of project performance focuses on the record of information related to the projectimplementation process (input), activities and outputs. The importance of monitoring andevaluationtheprojectperformanceservestwopurposes:

1. Totracktheactivitiesachieved–compareplannedversusachieved,andassestheeffectsofbothexternalfactorsandinternalprojectoperations;

2. Toassessresults(outputs)andfindsolutions(whenneeded)tokeepprojectontrack.ProjectactivitiesTheapprovedactionsonthisprojectare:

1. DevelopingaCurriculumforAdultEducation,and2. Creatinganinteractiveonlinetool-platformforeducatorsandstudents,andallinterested

3. Developing a new collaborative, comprehensive and accessible Curriculum for AdultsEducation for textile production and exploitation together with a Glossary – thecurriculum is to give an opportunity for the partnering organisations or any otherinterested parties to create and run a course in adult education as part of their owncourseofferings.

4. Developing a self-sufficient interactiveonline trainingmodule that followsall theworkcompletedon1,2and3throughthemethodofthe"guideddiscovery";

5. Arrangingworkshopsatnationalleveltopresenttheprojectresultsonresearch,analysisand the established curriculum, together with a pilot-test of the online tool as aneducationaltoolforadults;
