Evaluation
|
Are you making a difference? Is what you are doing today moving you closer to achieving your goals?
|
Monitoring and evaluation are geared towards learning from what you are doing and how you are doing it, by focusing on efficiency, effectiveness and impact.
The benefits of evaluation include…
- It supports best practice and integrates well when embedded with stakeholder engagement, strategic planning and continuous improvement approaches.
- It can clearly demonstrate what's been happening, what works and doesn't work for whom, in what context and why.
- It provides a transparent mechanism for accountability by assisting with monitoring progress and meeting reporting requirements.
- It enables good governance, sound decision-making and smart resource allocation.
- It improves program and policy design by 'starting with the end in mind' resulting in clearly defined intended outcomes and ensuring alignment with organisational activities.
- It can empower people whose voice might otherwise not be heard by including them in evaluation activities and giving them a say about decisions/ services that affect their lives.
