Monitoring Indicators( unrealistic)
Monitoring targets are basically the targets for the various outputs. The program/project managers or management team should be clear about what can be done and what cannot be done. They should not give in to the common practice of setting targets in arithmetic progression like 10, 20, 30 40,… or 700, 1400, 2100,… and distribute them evenly over the program/project lifespan.
They should consider the variation of the following factors over the program/project lifespan:
-
Availability of resources/funds -
Manpower/staffing -
Geographic coverage -
Needs among the target population -
Seasonality of certain things (in some cases) -
Order of succession of things with respect to each other
Targets for monitoring need to be set at the same frequency as the measurement are to take place. Ideally for long-term projects, monitoring targets need to be at least 6 monthly (semi-annual targets) and for short-term projects, they need to be monthly at least.
