This document provides an overview of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for programs and interventions. It discusses what M&E is, the differences between monitoring and evaluation, why M&E is important, how to develop an M&E plan, and key components of an M&E plan. Monitoring involves routine data collection to track progress towards objectives, while evaluation assesses overall impact by comparing outcomes between program and non-program groups. Developing a strong M&E plan from the beginning is essential to demonstrate accountability and guide effective implementation.

At the end of this presentation you will understand the M&E System, its objectives, components and criteria for assesment.

The document introduces resource mobilization, outlining its training objectives. It defines resource mobilization as identifying essential resources for achieving an organization's mission through developing relationships with resource providers and ensuring proper resource use. Resource mobilization is a means to an end, a team effort with shared accountabilities, and a management process without quick fixes. It is not just about funds but also managing relationships with people sharing the organization's values. The document notes resource mobilization incorporates three integrated concepts and discusses its importance and features.

The document discusses concepts related to participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E). It defines key terms like participation, monitoring, evaluation, and PM&E. It describes the importance of stakeholder engagement in planning, designing, and implementing PM&E. The document also outlines the typical PM&E process, including planning the process, gathering data through both quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzing data, and sharing results to define actions. Finally, it provides examples of PM&E frameworks from the Philippines.

This document discusses the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for programs and projects. It defines monitoring as an ongoing process of collecting and analyzing data to track progress and make adjustments, while evaluation assesses relevance, effectiveness, impact and sustainability. The key aspects of building an M&E system are agreeing on outcomes to measure, selecting indicators, gathering baseline data, setting targets, monitoring implementation and results, reporting findings, and sustaining the system long-term. A strong M&E system provides evidence of achievements and challenges, enables learning and improvement, and helps ensure resources are allocated to effective programs.

The document provides an overview of monitoring and evaluation methods for programs. It discusses key concepts like monitoring, evaluation, attributes of each, and who conducts them. The five phases of evaluation are outlined: planning, method selection, data collection and analysis, reporting, and implementing recommendations. Specific monitoring and evaluation tools are also described. The overall summary is: Monitoring and evaluation follow a five phase process including planning, method selection, data collection and analysis, reporting, and implementing recommendations to improve programs. Key concepts like monitoring, evaluation, attributes of each, tools used, and who conducts them are outlined.

Process to assess the effectiveness of the engagement and techniques to involve the stakeholders in the design and implementation

Evaluation is an important part of any project that helps check progress, collect necessary information for final reports, and learn lessons for future projects. It involves reviewing project goals, collecting both quantitative and qualitative information through methods like questionnaires, interviews and feedback forms, analyzing the findings including identifying strengths, weaknesses, problems and evidence, and sharing results with relevant stakeholders. Developing and following an evaluation plan from the beginning of a project is crucial for ensuring success.

The document discusses policies, procedures, vision, mission, values, and goals for organizations. It provides examples of policies and procedures from cooperatives and explains that policies outline general guidelines while procedures provide specific steps for implementation. Together, policies and procedures help organizations achieve goals and objectives in a standardized, compliant, and efficient manner.

Interested in learning how to evaluate your policy influence? Do you promote the uptake and dissemination of population health interventions? Are you interested in exploring public health–related case studies of policy influence? The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation can help! This guide was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Innovation Strategy and produced by Cathexis Consulting. How can the Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation help you? The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation was developed to help organizations use policy influence to improve the uptake and evaluation of evidence-based population health interventions. This process is divided into the four steps of evaluation planning. Each step includes two or more resources to support it. The resources are then summarized and important highlights are presented as they related to each step. This webinar includes an overview of the Guide by its developers, followed by a presentation from a community based organization who evaluated the impact on policies within their work to promote healthier weights. The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation includes three public health–related case studies: •Healthy weights among Aboriginal children and youth •Anti-bullying for primary schools •Food security and healthy weights To see the summary statement of this method developed by NCCMT, click here: http://www.nccmt.ca/resources/search/241 The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and affiliated with McMaster University.

This document discusses challenges, methodologies, and solutions for evaluating advocacy efforts. It begins by defining advocacy and distinguishing it from other types of campaigns. Key challenges include focusing on activities rather than outcomes and proving impact. The document recommends understanding the desired changes, monitoring progress, selecting appropriate evaluation methods, estimating influence on changes, and sharing lessons learned. A variety of evaluation methods are described, from stakeholder interviews to contribution analysis. The goal is to integrate evaluation into advocacy strategies to continually improve efforts and demonstrate successes.
