Why is Monitoring & Evaluation important for NGOs?

Monitoring and evaluation are separate functionality devoted to the evaluation of your NGOs comprehensive performance. Monitoring is an organized and constant process that collect information consider to the progress made by an implemented project. Evaluation is time specific and it’s performed to judge either a project has reached its goals and conveyed what expected according to its original plan.

First of all, Monitoring and Evaluation are important for you to determine that your project is accomplishing set targets. Essentially, by monitoring the development of the project you will easily understand either strategic change need to be made and act accordingly.

Second, Monitoring and Evaluation are related to donors who need to determine whether your NGO is a trustworthy partner. By analyse streamline and final result of your projects, donors will decide on the behalf of your NGO, upon which further partnership could be established. As such, to develop a strong Monitoring and evaluationplan is of vital importance.

What you have to consider while developing an Monitoring and Evaluation strategy:

1)   Evaluation. Clearly state what are the fragments of the project and what are the final outputs. On the one hand, this will strengthen the overall compactness of the project proposal. On the other hand, you will make sure that the donor has actual ways to determine the partial and final results of the project, thus contributing to guarantee a successful communication.

2)   Monitoring of outputs. Clearly study methodology able to regularly monitor the development of the project so that the evaluation of partial and final outputs is steady with the monitoring process. Comparatively, if your output is to train 10 students to use specific software, make sure to monitor the progress they make every week. In this way, you will be able to provide proof on how the final output has been reached.

3)   Monitoring of outcomes and impacts. Outcomes and impacts are more difficult to evaluate. Though it is clear how to measure the success of an implemented project by describing that a certain goal was reached, to measure the impact of an activity in community dynamics is more challenging. Thus, find your way to monitor what happens ‘around the project’. For instance, you can involve on a strategy able to prove that not only these students are learning how to use new software, but also that by obtaining a new skill the quality of their lives is somehow improving. By designing a monitoring strategy able to evaluate outcomes and impacts, you will succeed in proving to your donor that the implemented activities will have a positive, long-term effect in the community. Further, you can draw on the results of your monitoring practice to design new follow-up projects or to make sure potential new donors on the NGOs capacity to pro-actively engage with real problems and positively affect the lives of those you and with whom you are working.

Overall, you should also consider the Monitoring and Evaluation exercise as a way to make the activities of your NGO clear and easy to account for. There is nothing bad for a donor than not being able to understand how an NGO is administering a given budget or implementing a project. Thus, everything you do – including difficulties you face and changes you made to overcome possible problems – needs to be visible. Monitoring serves the purpose of making what you do visible in the sense that it provides tools and instruments to communicate with your donor and the wider public throughout the implementation of the project.
