challenges:

The TCP lacked clear M&E systems including a logical framework and clarity of design. This led to absence of coherence and inability to measure results. There are no targets and baselines for the different indicators making tracking of success and achievements challenging. Additionally, the project did not have dedicated staff to manage the M&E system of the project.

success:

The project conducted an evaluability assessment which helped refine the logical framework but the later continued to suffer from the absence of targets and baselines for the indicators.

context:

The initial design of the Phase 2 of the TCP did not place adequate attention on the logical framework and the development of a ToC. This created challenges in the ability of the project to monitor progress and measure results.

description:

In complex and challenging environments, a well-designed project must have a clear Theory of Change, logical framework, M&E plan and risk analysis. This will help to ensure that the project is coherent, aligned with the desired results, and resilient to unexpected challenges. This will ensure there are defined project activities that lead to the desired results at output and outcome levels that could be periodically assessed through SMART indicators.
