EVALUATING YOUR PROJECT
When does monitoring and evaluation start?
– Monitoring and evaluation truly begins at the project design phase
– Determine what you want to do and how you can have an impact through a community needs assessment
• Then figure out how you can measure it

EVALUATING YOUR PROJECT
What does Rotary expect?– Funded –
• Reports must include total number of beneficiaries plus one standard measure selected at the time of application
• Up to 10% of budget allowed for monitoring and evaluation costs
– Unfunded – • There are no formal requirements, but it is still
a best practice to collect and report monitoring and evaluation data

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE #Connect4Good
Monitoring Evaluation
Timing Takes places continually throughout project implementation
Assess the entire cycle
Purpose Represents an integral part of project management
Reviews achievements of the project and examines if the plan was the best one to achieve the expected outcomes
Focuses on project implementation comparing actual deliverables with what was planned
Measures achievements plus positive/negative and unintended effects
Looks for lessons learned from both success and failure; looks for best practices that can be applied elsewhere
Facilitator
Usually done by those directly involved in the project
Can be conducted by an independent outsider who can be impartial in consulting with project staff
Practical differences between monitoring and evaluation
