Outline
• Background and context
• Approach and methodology
• Vision
Baseline: Watershed situation
Example: Land use/private plots (32 plots belonging to 21 HHs) – cultivated area approx 15 ha in the sub-watershed – communal area above 50% slope and overgrazed

Tana Beles Integrated Water Resource Development Project
• TBIWRDP launched October 2008
• Four sub-components, some already active
• Sub-component B1: Watershed Management Monitoring & Evaluation WME Project
There was a need for Tana-Beles project

M&E at Woreda Level
• Interface: regional & local levels
• Data management
• Ensure compatibility of database with regional database
M&E at Regional and National Levels
• Linking to overall MIS
• Using tools such as GIS, map services
• Web based information sharing
• Processing of information
M&E at Kebele, Village and Community Levels
• Utilisation of participatory M&E
• Participatory GIS
• Manual data collection – focus on quality, timeliness
Why enhanced Monitoring & Evaluation?
Tier 1
Interface
Tier 2
From Problem Analysis through Logical Framework into Results
Inexistence of institutionalised M&E system
Limited backstopping fromregion to woredas
Limited capacity of human and budgetary
resourcesin bureaux, woredas and
kebeles
Existing monitoringmainly project
based
Logistical constraints (transport,
Telecom, lack of survey and office equipment)
Limited participationof women
Scarce and scattered data
Limited access to and knowledge on
appropriate technologies
related to data collection and management
Limited skill base
and knowledge
Lack of promotional
materials
Inconsistent type and quality of data
Weak databases and
GIS not effectively used
for M&E and planning
Incomplete data/knowledge on geo-physical
conditions (constraints)
Unstructured and incomplete data
collection, storage and analysis
Limited horizontal and vertical information sharing and
coordination of M&E
Varying data archiving practices,
operational arrangements, and slow flow of data to
central level
Limited datademand from stakeholders
Weak M&E collectionat community level
Limited use of information in planning community
development programmes.

Improving collection and analysis of information (M&E) and its use in managing the TBIWRDP and reaching the set objectives
Availability of relevant, accurate
and reliable baseline
information
Existence of functional M&E system and MIS
Usability of M&E for planning and
implementation at national, regional, woreda and
kebele levels
Building the human and organisational capacity at
regional, woreda and kebele levels to implement M&E
Effective horizontal and
vertical information
sharing
Institutionalising the M&E system across all
levels
Based on the needs analysis, six result areas have been defined

Institutionalising the M&E system across all
levels
Result 1: Relevant, accurate and reliable baseline information is available.
Result 2: Fully functional M&E system and MIS established.
Result 3: M&E system effectively used for planning and implementation by managers at national, regional, Woreda and Kebele levels.
Result 4: Human and organisational capacity at regional, Woreda and Kebele levels enhanced to effectively implement M&E.
Result 5: M&E system is operating as a platform for effective (horizontal and vertical) information sharing among project stakeholders.
Result 6: Component B1 M&E system and MIS institutionalised across levels among stakeholders
Feasibility
• Timing
• Resources in the beginning
• Innovative tools and methods
• Linkages and institutional networking
TA inputs – parallel processes at start-up
Awareness creation – acceptance – ownership
Baseline studies – three separate
Assessments (system, data, needs, capacity, training, cross cutting – needs based M&E)
Design of M&E system
Feasibility (continued)
Feasibility (continued)
Participatory methods such as:Village based monitoringClient Interactive MonitoringParticipatory GISProcess monitoringSelf evaluations
”Gender disaggregated information - the needs of women and vulnerable groups to be assessed separately”
Relevance
• Problems of beneficiaries addressed at all levels
• Result-based Monitoring & Evaluation harmonized with other projects (eg. SLM, MERET)
• Information shared

Sustainability
• Emphasis on capacity building and insitutionalization (2 results out of 6)
• Three steps: 1) Baseline 2) Build system 3) Use system

Towards efficient management
• Our Monitoring & Evaluation proposal builds on existing Management Information Systems (MIS)
• It provides management tools for well informed decision making at all levels
”Efficient management is needed to achieve the project development objective of Tana-Beles”
Vision for WME – Tana-Beles
• With our proposed approach (PD, TA team) sustainable results will be achieved
• Benefits of watershed management are demonsrated in Tana-Beles for wider use at national and regional level.
