- comments:
- The M&E systems serves a number of key stakeholders, namely R4D, DFAT and GoTL agencies. The methods employ allow a range of stakeholders to participate in studies and also to be involve in dissemination events where information is shared and distributed.
- challenges:
- The main challenge with any M&E system is the ability to ensure the processes are adequately resourced and funded. Often expectations are high as to what M&E can and will achieve in an environment with defined timeframes and resources. Also expectations around what M&E can deliver can also be problematic. Assessment of institutional and individual capacity development change can be a real challenge when working in limited capacity environments.
- success:
- A key positive has been the flexibility and responsiveness of the M&E system to address on-going challenges and shortfalls. The recently established M&E House (funded by DFAT) should provide another technical resource to further strengthen and improve M&E approaches.
- context:
- The M&E system has been a key feature of the R4D program from its commencement. The M&E system has been well supported by a high quality project design document which articulated key outcome statements and a clear logical structure.
- description:
- The use of a number of M&E methodologies to demonstrate change and impacts is essential in communicating clear messages about the success, or lack thereof, of a project intervention are critical. Importantly, simple yet rigorous M&E is critical in promoting effective utilisation-centred studies that generate relevant data and information for use by stakeholders.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO need to continue supporting M&E functions for R4D. There is possible scope to provide on-going technical backstopping and support to the current M&E specialist. Some form of formal or in-formal training could be provided as part of an ILO in-kind contribution.
