Importance and risks

Monitoring is the energising factor Monitoring is the energising factor in a PME systemin a PME system
A project starts with an analysis of the requests made, the needs identified and local resources
and know-how.
Its programming consists of
specifying who ? does what? when ?
how ? why ?
Monitoring is the periodic supervision of how an action
is being implemented
The evaluation is for assessing the
quality of an action, for drawing
conclusions from the experience and for reporting on the
action to the stakeholders concerned.
The logical framework is the basic tool for
presenting a project and working on its programming, monitoring and
evaluation

« Monitoring is the art of procuring the information necessary for taking those decisions that govern the orientation of work underway, as quickly and as inexpensively as possible» (GTZ, 1997)
Or, to quote Catherine Care on the subject of sharing knowledge :
“Stop rowing and start steering”
« Arrêtez de ramer et prenez le gouvernail »

The risks (1)
Too much information kills the information!
An surplus of information prevents it from being stored accurately.
There is not enough time and resources for analysing and utilising the information.
Too detailed information can prevent the identification of or hide the important trends
DDC, 1997

The risks (2)
Too little information prevents us :
from anticipating and therefore mobilising the resources needed for the action;
from reporting on the implementation of activities to the parties concerned (beneficiaries, partners, funding bodies, donors…).

Monitoring system
![Page 9: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The essential questions to ask
The two biggest questions are : who needs the monitoring information? What information is really needed?
On this basis, we can determine : Who should participate in devising the monitoring
system? How should the information be collected, analysed and
presented? What degree of detail is required? How long and how often should the information be
collected and analysed?
GTZ,1997

The monitoring system
During programming and implementation the stakeholders stakeholders define and measure...
… the indicators indicators for keeping in for keeping in
touch with touch with realityreality…
…in the different fields of fields of observationobservation…
…according to different angles of analysis (criteriacriteria).
LOGICAL LOGICAL FRAMEWORKFRAMEWORK
![Page 11: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A - Who are the stakeholders concerned?
Those potentially concerned by the definition and implementation of the monitoring system are:
Within HI :
In the field:project manager, project team, field programme director, administrator…
At head office:desk officer, technical co-ordination unit, financial controller, HR service..
Outside of HI :
Local stakeholders,
Project partners,
Local collectivities ,
Public institutions, technical services
Institutional funding bodies
…

And all these people need precise and specific information …
And that ’s without counting the external stakeholders (partners, institutions, funding bodies, donors…).

The information required by each stakeholder should be clearly defined
Each stakeholder must define the information that is essential to him/her.
This will be done as part of the PME exercise currently underway.

B - What is an indicator ?
Objectively verifiable indicator
Measurable indicators that show whether the objectives at the three highest levels of the logical framework have been attained. The OVI are the starting point for developing an appropriate monitoring system.
UE, 2001
![Page 15: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The characteristics of a good indicator
A good indicator should be
specific – measure what its supposed to measure
measurable
available at an acceptable cost
relevant vis-a-vis a given objective and cover it
have an fixed term.

C – The fields of observation

material resources …
Environment
A project or a process can be schematised as follows :
1st level of results of activities
2nd level of results of activities
3rd level of results of activities

What have we achieved? What stage are we at?
Results monitoring
What goal(s) have we (not) achieved ?How did we do it?
What helps or hinders our work?
What are thelong-term repercussions of our work?
Process monitoring
Context monitoring
Impact monitoring
The questions to ask:
DDC, 1997

D - The criteria
Production factors
Project / Process
Actual results
Expected results
Environment
Efficacy = actual results / expected results
Impact = actual results/ environment
Efficiency =actual results /resources (actually) implemented
Time
Durability = actual result or process / time
Relevance = input/ process/ output/ environment
Heeren, 2002
![Page 21: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
To sum up,
Results( service offers, local capacity building …)
Process(mobilisation of human resources, financial management…)
Context
Impact
Indicators for assessing the criteria (efficacy and efficiency mainly / impact, relevance and durability to a lesser extent)
The stakeholders should together draw up management charts that provide them with a clear vision of exactlywhat stage they are at.The project manager ’s management chart should be based on his/her project’s logical framework, the FDP ’s chart should be based on his/her programme’s strategy..

A matrix such as the one below is not only for identifying the indicators, but also for identifying the form the information should take, the periodicity, use and circulation..
A matrix like this is only useful if it remains simple.

… for collecting information
There are many methods for collecting information :
– Monitoring sheets,– Individual interviews,– Enquiries, surveys,– Observation methods in the field,– Work meetings– …
![Page 25: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
… for analysing data
Before starting to collect information, it is essential to define what it is to be used for and how it will be processed.
There are many internal and external documents providing analysis tools.
For example, you could refer to the internal document on partnerships for analysing stakeholders ’ strategies.
![Page 26: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
… for summarising information
At HI we are snowed under with information, not always analysed.
It is essential to provide information that has been analysed and summarised.
One of the main results expected of the PME exercise is in fact the definition of those indicators that are essential to the different stakeholders (FPD, DO,TC, ODP…).
![Page 27: PMEPME This presentation looks specifically at the monitoring of projects/ programmes. It follows on from a more general introduction to PME systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697bfec1a28abf838cb8750/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
… and always bear in mind :
« The quality of monitoring can be measured by the extent to which it facilitates the taking of decisions on project management and implementation. If they do not improve the implementation of the project, any modifications made to the internal monitoring of the project are unjustified. »
