Our monitoring consists of routine monitoring of resources, activities and results, and the analysis of that information to guide our implementation.  We evaluate our work through mid-year and end-year assessments and continuous analysis of on-going projects. We then reflect on the information gathered during our monitoring and evaluation, using it to feedback on the project improving its ability to achieve results. We follow the MEL cycle whereby needs and assets are assessed at the planning phase, project is designed including MEL planning. A baseline study is performed which provides us with the current status of the problem we are tackling. Implementation and assessments are performed with another study at the end of the term of the project. This then provides information on the changes and impact that the project has had at individual and/or community level. 

• Monitoring, evaluation, and learning play a
  crucial role in the success and continuous
  improvement of the program.
• Through systematic data collection and
  analysis, we gather information on the
  implementation of interventions, their
  outcomes, and the overall progress
  towards our goals.
• This helps us assess the effectiveness and
  efficiency of our strategies, identify areas
  for improvement, and make informed
  decisions for future planning.
• Monitoring involves regular tracking of
  program activities, outputs, and outcomes.
• It allows us to monitor the delivery of
  services, assess the quality of
  interventions, and ensure adherence to
  established standards.
• By collecting and analyzing data on key
  indicators, we can measure the progress
  made, identify trends, and address any
  emerging challenges promptly.
• Monitoring also provides valuable
  feedback on the performance of staff and
  community members involved in the
  program, facilitating targeted support and
  capacity building efforts.
• Evaluation involves more comprehensive
  assessments of the program’s impact and
  effectiveness.
• It utilizes various methodologies, such as
  surveys, interviews, focus groups, and case
  studies, to gather in-depth information on
  the outcomes and impacts of the
  interventions.
• Evaluations help us understand the
  changes and improvements brought about
  by the program, determine the factors
  contributing to success or barriers to
  progress, and generate evidence to
  support decision-making and resource
  allocation.
• Evaluations help us understand the
  changes and improvements brought about
• by the program, determine the factors
  contributing to success or barriers to
  progress, and generate evidence to
  support decision-making and resource
  allocation.
• By conducting rigorous evaluations, we
  can assess the program’s overall
  effectiveness, identify best practices, and
  make necessary adjustments to optimize
  outcomes.
• Learning is an essential component of the
  monitoring and evaluation process.
• It involves analyzing data, synthesizing
  findings, and deriving lessons that inform
  program improvements and guide future
  actions.
• Learning enables us to identify what works
  well and why, as well as areas that require
  further attention or modification.
• It encourages a culture of continuous
  improvement, promoting innovation and
  adaptation based on evidence and
  feedback.
• By sharing knowledge and lessons learned
  within the organization and with external
  stakeholders, we contribute to the broader
  field of child development and well-being.
