- challenges:
- Systemic approaches to market development require flexible and adaptive project structure and robust MRM systems to produce the right data in a timely way that can be utilised to recalibrate the project strategy. Given this is a fairly new approach, project’s existing MRM system require significant changes in order for them to be able to produce the right data.
- success:
- With increasing trend of projects undergoing DCED audit, it is likely that more projects will be able to develop robust MRM systems.
- context:
- In order for the project to be able to monitor its progress, determine its strategy and assess its trajectory towards the intended impact, a robust monitoring, evaluation and learning system is crucial. In a resource- constrained environment where there are competing priorities and multiple pathways to success, a robust M&E system will allow the project make evidence-based decisions to detect and rectify early failures and evaluate the effectiveness and relevance of its activities in complex and rapidly changing environments. This lesson was learned both on the projects the Lab supported as well as within the Lab itself.
- description:
- A robust M&E System is crucial to drive evidence-based learning and adaptation
- administrative_issues:
- The right incentives for projects to develop robust MRM systems are missing. ILO’s Enterprise Development Department can potentially create incentives or institutionalise the criteria for robust MRM systems for market system development projects.
