implementation
If you need an independent evaluation of a project or programme, we are equipped to:
- apply the OECD/DAC criteria of: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability
- if you have a Logframe or Results Framework, review this in collaboration with you
- if you contact us early, develop your monitoring and data storage systems
- deliver regular monitoring reports tailored to specific audiences
- carry out strategic mid-term reviews with actionable recommendations
- provide final independent evaluations highlighting the learning points
- design and apply relevant tools and methods such as advocacy or media trackers, anecdotal evidence records, outcome harvesting and impact registers
- develop our specially designed tool, the Living Logframe (e.g. for EC-funded DEAR projects)
All products will be tailored to your particular needs and budget and will lead to practical solutions.
consultancy
If your organisation is fairly new to monitoring and evaluation we can guide you in specifying what your requirements are. We will take into account your funding environment, operational context, in-house skills and budget. We can act as your evaluation partner and support you all the way by:
- scoping your monitoring and evaluation needs and developing a framework
- formulating your evaluation question or questions
- facilitating staff to set key success indicators
- designing and establishing monitoring tools, systems and storage
- supporting staff to carry out monitoring and evaluation
- providing guidance on Terms of Reference for commissioning external evaluations
training
It may be that you simply need to increase or maintain your in-house monitoring and evaluation skills and you therefore want to invest in staff training. We can offer:
- advice on who needs what level of training
- a choice of tailored on-the-job training (coaching) or formal in-house courses
- specially designed training materials tailored to your needs for you to use in-house
- bespoke or off-the-shelf training packages
