  1. Evaluating and Reflecting on the Map-making Process Tools for Success By: Nigel Crawhall Unit: M15U01

  2. Adopting a methodology • There are different methodologies for planning, monitoring and evaluating projects. • Adopting a particular method helps to be consistent and check key points in the planning and assessment tool kit. • Logical Framework (ZOPP) and Appreciative Inquiry are examples.

  3. Scale of results • Development goal: This is the overall positive, long-term result the community seeks. • Project purpose: This is the immediate outcome of implementing this project and should contribute to the development goal. • Results/objectives: A project purpose is made up of smaller steps and outputs which together assure that the project purpose is achieved.

  4. Planning, monitoring & evaluation • Planning, monitoring and evaluation are all part of one process. • Planning sets the objectives. • Monitoring helps check that the objectives are on track. • Evaluation measures whether the overall project purpose has been met. • Evaluation also provides a chance to reflect on the overall process and empowerment.

  5. Planning • Adopt a methodology appropriate to the context. • Develop an analysis of the negative situation that should be solved. • Specify the target group (i.e. those in the community who will do the actions). • Identify levels of desired results: development goal, project purpose, results leading to the project purpose

  6. Monitoring • Every result in the project needs an indicator to help determine whether you are achieving the result as planned. • Indicators should at least give quantity, quality, time and location for the result. • Monitoring involves collecting data as events happen. • Objectively verifiable indicators (OVIs) make your work transparent to donors, the whole community and others.

  7. Planning, monitoring and evaluating cycles

  8. Evaluation • Evaluation can be summative (i.e. what happened?) or formative (i.e. what does this tell you for the future?). • Projects are evaluated against their project purpose and result indicators. • Evaluation can look at the impact caused by the project (which may sometimes be unintentional). • Evaluation can look at processes, including human dynamics and empowerment.
