comments:
ILO Staff (technical teams, EVAL).
challenges:
The formulation of logframes without targets and lack of monitoring capacity challenges a real-time evaluation process.
success:
Solid and effective on-going implementation of a Comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation System. Robust project logframe.
context:
Project design phase.
description:
Real-time evaluation.The programme implemented a series of real-time evaluations which intended to assess specific operational choices aimed at supporting cohesive efforts across technical intervention areas during phase 1 and that could be scaled-up in phase 2; to identify critical problems and provide solutions to make key changes at an intermediate point in programming; to identify emerging lessons learned and good practices as the programme is being implemented; to facilitate improved communication and understanding between HQ and the field; to review financial delivery versus spending targets. In practice, fewer real-time evaluation rounds were conducted due to a reported slow progress of the programme and to an evaluation fatigue of informants. Real-time evaluation recommendations had also limited effects as not being prescriptive. Furthermore, programme staff had a need for (committing) additional monitoring capacity to the programme rather than evaluative capacity. Altogether, this indicates that a range of conditions need to be present for real-time evaluations to be enabled and serve as intended.
