that's quite a detailed post Alemneh. i am just wondering however about the participant tracking form. can it be used in all projects or there are specific ones where it can be utilized?
one of the major importance of M & E as seen in the introduction is that it helps to plan before embarking on the project
M&E helps organizations stay organized
it encourages innovations
It helps organizations replicate the best projects/programs
I
M&E is very important to achieve the desired outcomes from the project.
M&E is very important to keep track on the progress of the project and to identify the factors that influences the result,
M&E is very important because it helps to collect, analyze and manage information about project in order to adjust or shape project implementation as needed.
M&E is important as it provides a means to track project implementation. Bottlenecks can be identified and addressed before they affect the project outcomes. Without an M&E plan no lessons would be learnt. M&E also helps in reporting progree to project funders.
Monitoring and evaluation has great importance in project implementation and data collection as follows
1)Helping the project implementors to collect data properly
2)It help to oversee on what the project will bring the changes on the society
3)It helps to track performance of the project
Monitoring and evaluation enables organization to keep on truck to whatever they do on project. It also enables individuals to know their roles and responsibility.
what are the limits of monitoring and evaluation in investment or capacity building projects?
Great explanations with clear examples. It is obvious that every project has to start with a project plan that includes the M&E plan before it gets to the implementation stage.
Sounds interesting. Looking forward to participating in developing objectives for MEH
This is very detailed and insightful, thank you
Great start of this course . From the beginning I have begun to understand how M&E can affect planning for progress monitoring of a project
It seems to be the technical brain behind every successful project
All of such questions I believe will be defined and explained in the latter stages of the project
It is important to collect data and learn from the ongoing project
To take actions if we are not going according to our Objective
To measure our output, outcome and to imagine our impact
to set clear indicators and targets
It is important to know the risks and assumptions because you get prepared enough to not get shocked and things do not go the way it was expected. This leads to better handling of the project
this would be interesting
I think they should measure how many of the girls that want to borrow the micro loan have run a business before or currently running. They can start by giving loans to those currently running and create a business clinic that will measure progress and provide support to them e.g business counsel so that they can be successful to pay back the loans so others can borrow too.
from the two fictional projects, the GOOD projects has good every thing well spelt out because of M&E and it has helped them to;
Set goals
Collect information from the beneficiaries like how they are benefiting from the projects and then how to improve on the project.
the importance of M&E is to measure the progress of the project, to track the performance over time and infor about the effectiveness of the project. it also measure who well the project achieved the project objectives.
The importance of M&E is to measure the progress of the project, to track its performance and show how much the project's objectives are achieved
collecter les bonnes informations tout au long du projet pour savoir l'ĂŠvolution , ce qui marche ce qui ne marche pas, et prendre des dĂŠcisions pour amĂŠliorer pour atteindre les objectifs
Hypothèse 1 : Si les producteurs d'huile raffinÊe et farine de blÊ ne veulent pas fortifier pas toute leur production
Hypothèse 2 : Si il y a pÊnurie de fortifiants sur le marchÊ international
Importance of M&E there are many uses of M&E but I think these five are the most important.
okay something get! let continue
M&E is key in order to ascertain the success or failure of a project
Monitoring and evaluation are critical components of many projects and initiatives. One of the most important things is to monitor our performance in relation to our strategy, which indicates that we are performing well in terms of financial and technical interims. Is our objective met? Such inquiries are addressed following the implementation of various sorts of Monitoring and Evaluation.

It helps in giving a detailed report to the user of the project information wo include:
The donor
The beneficiaries
The project manager
The government
The project team
And other project stakeholders
Helps to know how impactful the project is to the beneficiaries, helps to know what beneficiaries think about the project, how the project can be improved, helps
M&E also helps to know if the project is on the right track, or if ant any thing can be changed right away.
HI , i am looking forward to learn from this course in self-pace
the topics is started to get clear now, i could now easily relate to some of the DFAT funded projects that they still try to measure how its impact was.
yes, fully agree, that the main thing
Monitoring and evaluation helps and makes it easy for the planners to collect information and measure the progress of the project. secondly the planners are able to receive feedback from the beneficiaries on how they think about the project and how to improve it. Thirdly it makes it easy for the planners to write report to there donors or funders in regard to the progress of the project .
Additionally it makes it easy for the planners to notice a problem and find the best possible solution, the solution can be it be a long term or short term and thus they are able to make the necessary changes. monitoring and evaluation also helps the planners to know how well they are doing because before the onset of the project they had already decided how they will measure there progress.
Excellent introductory note, which shows from the beginning that there is an extreme importance in planning in relation to the results we intend to achieve and how we will be able to measure this reach. And we noticed that the lack of this component leaves a gap in the implementation of the project
To basically help measure progress and see if a project is really achieving it's intended purpose
absolutely. Very interesting
This is Practical-oriented. Thank you.
this is informative
Monitoring and Evaluation is essential to collect information against the plan results and provide updates on the achievement of the key deliverables.
Hello, how is everyone here
GOOD is doing great but MEH can as well reschedule its activities by coming up with an M&E plan.
It provides a roadmap to making sure progress is measured.
M&E helps to;
track the performance of a project over time
Measure how well a project achieved it's set objectives
Efficiently use a projects' resources to achieve its set objectives
Make informed decisions about a projects effectiveness
Monitoring and evaluation helps to assess the progress of the organisation by aligning the work to the objectives of the organisation, collecting data to find out or measure the progress and also lay the strategies to improve and also implement according to set objectives.
data is needed by project,donors,and funders. so better to know what to measure and how to measure it.
GOOD is very good to build yourself and the community as a whole. M&E is very necessary and important hence i thing is very beneficial .
Yes i believe you pliz
Yes i believe you pliz
The importance of M&E are that it helps an organization collect, analyse, track and report on relevant information throughout a project
They could measure how many girls are in need of the loans and how many are willing to start up a business with those loans this can be achieved by conducting a survey in a selected area of target.
The MEH team should work on determining the nature of the project. When compared with the GOOD project, the MEH project is complex as it has several tasks that need and depend on beneficiaries' commitment and skills. Furthermore, the microfinanciers would need to evaluate the borrower's repayment capacity. As the objective is to expand the horizons of the girls through microloans, the outcome will depend mostly on the beneficiaries' ability to accomplish tasks in designated time frames.
The donors would be interested to know the number of individual development plans prepared for the girls on their desired horizon-expanding plans.
The number of girls who managed to obtain microloans and the actions taken with regard to failed applicants
The number of girls who managed to expand their horizons through MEH and the actions taken with regard to failures
The importance of M&E are that it helps an organization collect, analyse, track and report on relevant information throughout a project
As the saying goes any one who does not plan to win , plans to fail. Either ways your still planing to do something. Even if itâs planing to bath , or when to eat or when to go to work .. Planing is an important factor we use in our day to day activity .
The importance of planing canât be over emphasized cause it helps plan for uncertainties be it at work , at home amongst your friends or wherever you find yourself .
Nice write up
This was great đđ
The content is not viewable, is this problem from my side alone
Looking forward to connect to more like minded M and E specialist here
Exactly, but in M&E following specific guidelines are very crucial too
Yes, it not just limited to that, it go further by serving as benchmark for even considering whether a project if worth investing on or not
This was great đđ
M&E is both the function and tool of project management. As a function, the M&E would help project coordinator to deliver on the controlling functional requirement of project management. As a tool, M&E provides the means to make informed decision in project management.
Monitoring data are used regularly: daily, weekly, or monthly. Monitoring data are used to answer questions such as:
⢠Is our project reaching its targets?
⢠Is our project spending money and resources efficiently?
⢠Have any problems come up?
⢠Have we noticed any successes?
Evaluation data are used to answer questions like:
⢠Did our project achieve what it planned on achieving?
⢠Was our project a good use of money and resources?
⢠Did something happen that we didnât plan?
⢠Did we learn something unexpected?
you are very right. It help us prepare against possible risk at every stage of the project
The MEH project staff should know the goals of the project, what they want to achieve, for whom and how many people, in where and how many places, and when the target time (month or year). And how the will measure the progress by keeping record of how many girls borrow small amounts of money (microloans) in certain time, how they plans to collect information on how much loan each their beneficiaries get, how the loans accounts change their beneficiaries lives, what beneficiaries think about the project, and how the project can be improved.
Importance of M& E
Since corporations assess, evaluate, and update projects throughout the monitoring phase, there is greater clarity and accountability due to M&E.
M&E aids businesses in identifying issues early. Projects rarely go exactly as planned, but a well-organized M&E aids in keeping the project moving forward and performing well. M&E aid in defining a project plan.
M&E ensures that resources are utilized effectively because every project requires resources.
Helps outline trends along the projects theory of change.
MEH should firstly decide how many months they are planning to work with the project. This will help them to plan their project within the given timespan to avoid last minute hustles. Then, M&E plan should be created. I'd suggest, to have one fix employee to note the amount of loans given out to each girl. According to this, one employee should follow up with those loan receivers to understand how they are going to start their business and what are their further plan. This is the initial plan. Further, the surveys should include continuous follow-ups with those girls to measure the progress of their business in terms of their total items sold, their investment and their income.
Through monitoring and evaluation, we can:
Review progress;
Identify problems in planning and/or implementation;
Make adjustments so that you are more likely to âmake a differenceâ.
I think some times you the data was clear and easy to collect because is evdent. Sometimes we meet divergence and M&E plan make resolve the problem of data that is not very easy to measure ad collect
Congratulation for your reponse MANOJBUDA
Good project
let's go, monitoring and learning a necesity for project management
The best mechanism is through defining a clear input, activity, output, outcome and impact for the project and create a matrix to quantify them throgh indicators.
I agree that the M&E is very important to measure the outputs and the outcomes of a project. In addition, the M&E plan must be prepared and built in a participatory approach wilth the manager and all the members of the team. GOOD has already a good idea of his M&E plan, but MEH not.
M&E provides a detailed blueprint of everything that went right and everything that went wrong during a projec
Very important
Very important
Me too i enjoy this module
An M&E plan helps to define, implement, track and improve a monitoring and evaluation strategy within a particular project or a group of projects; it includes all the steps, elements and activities that need to happen from the project planning phase until the project reaches its goal and creates the intended impact
Our project : Microfinance for Expanding Horizons (MEH), global goal is to improve conditions lives of girl. Spefics goals are : to sentisize aroung 1500 girls ; to help 500 girls to borrow money at microfinance institution in the next year ; to develop 1500 business of girl ; and facilitate finance access to at least 1000 girls in the last year.
Before the implementation of this project, our team makes the M&E plan. This plan consist to collect data, identify activies, indicators outcomes of each activity.
For each outcome, we going to see, if its impacts have impacts of girls lives
Monitoring & Evaluation is important because: it produces the single source of solid information, identifying the progress of projects. it allows actors to learn from the experience of others, built on the basis of knowledge and expertise.
M&E provides a detailed blueprint of everything that went right and everything that went wrong during a project. Thorough M&E documents allow organizations to pinpoint specific failures, as opposed to just guessing what caused problems. Often, organizations can learn more from their mistakes than from their successes
the importance of M&E is to help organization undastand what they want to do and how to do it better
In the case of the second project, Microfinance for Expanding Horizons M&E is important because;
MEH will know its goals when it comes to the number of girls they will borrow money.
Measure progress of the project by recording how many loans they give out and how many lives have been changed based on the loans given
this course is good
so intresting
planing is a criteria
jesus is good
indicators are paramount
this indicator is a parameter for excellence
In this module I have learned that M&E play key role in project plan and serve as backbone of project activities

Importance of Monitoring and evaluation.
Monitoring helps us in making informed decisions. It also helps us to be updated in the progress of our project.
Evaluation is when we compare the work we have done to our original project plan, to asses our success.
In monitoring and evaluation we are able to collect information regularly in order to measure our progress and if it going as we planned.
Monitoring and evaluation helps us in keeping track of our project progress.
It also helps us in avoiding possible shortcomings in the unforeseeable future.
With monitoring and evaluation we are able to figure out what we need to to change and the areas we need to improve in inorder to succeed with our project.
We also able to come up with ways and ideas that can be in favor of the success of our project.
i think should measure how many businesses they help to get started first.
I think this is very important for people who really want to bring change in their organizations.
C'est très intÊressant de comprendre l'importance de S&E
It is very interesting to understand the importance of M&E
M&E is the most important delicate and technical aspect of a project where by if not managed well, the success of the project is not visible or realistic
