Almm monitoring and evaluation tools draft[1]acm sir revisedAlberto Mico
Monitoring and evaluation tools are necessary to assess the success of ALMM-funded projects. A monitoring system should gather information on programme inputs, progress towards objectives, results and impacts on target groups. Evaluation determines whether objectives were achieved and why. It assesses outcomes, processes, costs, benefits and replicability. Both monitoring and evaluation require defining indicators, collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data, and reporting findings to stakeholders. Regular interim and final evaluations provide opportunities for improvement and ensure accountability.
This document outlines the key stages of a project cycle: identification, preparation, appraisal, implementation and monitoring, and evaluation. It describes the identification stage as understanding existing problems and needed actions to address them. The preparation stage involves analyzing shortlisted projects based on criteria like effectiveness, costs, and ease of implementation. The appraisal stage assesses projects' market viability, technical feasibility, financial profitability, socio-economic impacts, and environmental effects. Selected projects then move to implementation and monitoring to check progress against plans and objectives. Finally, the evaluation stage assesses whether projects achieved their goals and identifies lessons for future projects.

The author concludes that the Czech Republic, and other Visegrad countries, should share transition experience in areas where they have achieved evident progress and gained significant know-how which they are able to share. At the same time, such experience sharing has to be needs-based and complementary to other development efforts in partner countries. Based on the international recognition of the progress of the Czech Republic and on the evidence from two evaluations discussed in the article, women’s cancer prevention and treatment seem to be a great example of a well-chosen transition experience shared with the Czech partner countries of Georgia and Serbia. Yet, for similar projects in the future, it is necessary to reflect on the key local influencing factors; to understand exactly how each project will work and remain flexible throughout the project cycle; to focus on actual impacts and to accept accountability, and finally to practice evidence-based, consistent, long-term advocacy to achieve systemic changes.

The most significant change as a part of a project evaluation in indiaInka Pibilova
This document describes an evaluation of an education project in India that was funded by donations to rebuild and improve schools after the 2004 tsunami. The evaluation objectives were to show the project's impact on education access, quality and environment. It also aimed to assess sustainability after funding ended. Due to limitations, the evaluation used a methodology called "Most Significant Change," collecting stories from community volunteers about the most impactful changes, such as empowering child clubs to improve water and sanitation. The most significant change found was increased empowerment of children. However, communication of findings was limited due to the donor not publishing the report. Lessons included using stories to communicate success and ensuring stakeholders are engaged in evaluating and communicating results.

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

Evaluation
• Assessment of project efficiency, effectiveness, impact, relevance and
sustainability for the purpose of learning and accountability to stakeholders
Monitoring
• Ongoing analysis of project progress towards achieving planned results with
the purpose of improving management decision making
Audit
• Assessment of (i) the legality and regularity of project expenditure and
income i.e. compliance with laws and regulations and with applicable
contractual rules and criteria; (ii) whether project funds have been used
efficiently and economically i.e. in accordance with sound financial
management;; and (iii) whether project funds have been used effectively i.e.
for purposes intended.
• Primarily a financial and financial management focus, with the focus of
effectiveness being on project results.

20. OECD/DAC Evaluation Criteria
Relevance – are we doing the right things?
The appropriateness of project objectives to the problems that it was
supposed to address, and to the physical and policy environment within
which it operated. The extent to which the project is suited to the priorities
and policies of the target group, recipient and donor.
It should include and including an assessment of the quality of project
preparation and design – i.e. the logic and completeness of the project
planning process, and the internal logic and coherence of the project design.
Potential evaluation questions:
• To what extent are the objectives of the programme still valid?
• Are the activities and outputs of the programme consistent with the
overall goal and the attainment of its objectives?
• Are the activities and outputs of the programme consistent with the
intended impacts and effects?
20
Source: OCEED/DAC, http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/qsm/index_en.htm
21. OECD/DAC Evaluation Criteria
Effectiveness – are we doing things right?
An assessment of the contribution made by results to achievement of the
Project Purpose, and how Assumptions have affected project achievements.
This should include specific assessment of the benefits accruing to target
groups, including women and men and identified vulnerable groups such as
children, the elderly and disabled.
Potential evaluation questions:
• To what extent were the objectives achieved / are likely to be achieved?
• What were the major factors influencing the achievement or nonachievement of the objectives?
21
Source: OCEED/DAC, http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/qsm/index_en.htm
22. OECD/DAC Evaluation Criteria
Efficiency – is the project worthwhile?
The fact that the project results have been achieved at reasonable cost, i.e.
how wellinputs/means have been converted into activities, in terms of
quality, quantity and time, and the quality of the results achieved.
The project shou use the least costly resources possible in order to achieve
the desired results.
This generally requires comparing alternative approaches to achieving the
same outputs, to see whether the most efficient process has been adopted.
Potential evaluation questions:
• Were activities cost-efficient?
• Were objectives achieved on time?
• Was the programme or project implemented in the most efficient way
compared to alternatives?
22
Source: OCEED/DAC, http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/qsm/index_en.htm
23. OECD/DAC Evaluation Criteria
Impact – what changes has the project achieved / contributed to?
The effect of the project on its wider environment, and its contribution to the
wider policy or sector objectives (as summarised in the project’s Overall
Objective).
The positive and negative changes produced by a project, directly or
indirectly, intended or unintended, positive and negative.
This involves the main impacts and effects resulting from the project on the
local social, economic, environmental and other development indicators. It
must also include the positive and negative impact of external factors.
Potential evaluation questions:
• What has happened as a result of the programme or project?
• What real difference has the activity made to the beneficiaries?
• How many people have been affected?
Source: OCEED/DAC, http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/qsm/index_en.htm
23
24. OECD/DAC Evaluation Criteria
Sustainability – wil the changes (nebefits for target group) last?
An assessment of the likelihood of benefits produced by the project to
continue to flow after external funding has ended, and with particular
reference to factors of ownership by beneficiaries, policy support, economic
and financial factors, socio-cultural aspects, gender equality, appropriate
technology, environmental aspects, and institutional and management
capacity.
Sustainability is concerned with measuring whether the benefits of a project
are likely to continue after donor funding has been withdrawn. Projects need
to be environmentally as well as financially (and socially) sustainable.
Potential evaluation questions:
• To what extent did the benefits of a programme or project continue after
donor funding ceased?
• What were the major factors which influenced the achievement or nonachievement of sustainability of the programme or project?

25. Evaluation Questions - Descriptive
•
•
•
•
What „is“
Describe project (inputs, activities, outputs) or process
Simple: Who, what, where, when, how, how many …
Often used to gather opinions from target groups.
Examples:
• What is the project objective from the perspectives of different
stakeholders?
• What were the reasons for joining the program?
• How many persons were reached?
• How was the project implemented?
Evaluation design to answer them:
One-shot, before-and-after, time series, (long-term) panel, case studies…
Source: Road to Results
25
26. Evaluation Questions - Normative
• Compare what „is “ with what „should be“ (target)
Examples:
• Do the project activities address the needs of stakeholders?
• To what extent has the project achieved the result/objective indicators?
• Have min. 5.000 persons been reached through the campaign?
• Has the number of schools involved in Global Learning increased?
(baseline!)

27. Evaluation Questions – Cause-and-Effect
•
•
•
•
Determine what difference the project makes - what change has it brought
Often refer to outcome, impact
Compare indicators before and after, with and without the project (graph)
Careful about attribution x contribution!
– Can you say that the project achieved this or has contributed to this?
– Are there any alternative explanations (external factors) for achievements?
Examples:
• As a result of the training, have teachers incorporated Global Learning in
their lesson plans?
Evaluation design to answer them:
Experimental (control group), quasi
experimental (compare group),
nonexperimental (causual tracing, case
study, story harvesting, outcome
mapping…)

• Avoid questions on multiple issues – separate these
– Has the methodology been developed and disseminated to min. 5.000
teachers?
• You can develop subquestions for a particular question on an issue
– What concerns have teachers while introducing Global Learning at school ?
(descriptive)
– Has the project addressed these concerns of the teachers? (normative)
– Has the number of teachers using Global Learning increased as a result of
the project? (cause-and-effect)
• Set a realistic number of questions!

- Do we have an (updated) logical framework?
- Do we have sufficient (baseline, monitoring) data available?
- Do we have accessible reliable information sources?
- Do we have sufficient funds for an internal/external evaluation? Will the
evaluation be cost-effective, will it bring reasonable benefits vs. costs?
- Is it likely that it will be used to improve actions in future? Can stakeholders
influence the evaluation decisions? Will they accept and use the findings? Is
there a strong leadership to put the recommendations in practice?
- Are there no major factors hindering the evaluation? Are staff members or
other stakeholders overloaded due to other priorities? Are there any
tendencies that would affect impartiality?

38. Data Analysis and Interpreting
• Needs to be clear before data collection
• Methodology incl. reliability and limits is a part of report
• Categorize and triangulate findings
• Use quotes, examples, graphs
• Distinguiish between findings (evidence) and interpreting (conclusions)
• Do not generalize findings from 3 respondents to the whole sector!
• Have a short summary for those who cannot read the whole report

Project A
Finding: Most volunteers expressed doubts about
the Programme, which partially impacted external
communication and advocacy. They believed the
donor should better clarify the program objectives
– if the programme is to primarily serve the
communities in the South or the young
professionals from Europe.

“I believe the development sector
needs well trained and well managed
professionals, not volunteers sent
with a weak/unclear mandate to 'do
something'. This may end up doing
more harm than good." Volunteer
