- challenges:
- During the response to super-typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), ca. 150 sub-projects have been monitored using a common spreadsheet file based on manual entry of information in almost 50 fields for each sub-project. There were many potential sources of error, including typos, mistakes when copying from text documents (monitoring reports), mistakes when drafting monitoring reports, etc. that could have been avoided and thereby increased reliability and timeliness of M&E information., including generation of reports.
- success:
- n.a.
- context:
- All kinds of activities that are based on large numbers of beneficiaries or implementing partners would benefit from a standard ILO software that facilitates M&E of sub-projects and processing of monitoring information.
- description:
- Where large numbers of sub-projects need to be organized in order to deal with an emergency, it is important to have developed monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tools at hand that reduce the work load of the ILO team. Leaving the development of these tools to the team not only diverts valuable time from emergency response, but also leaves the quality of the M&E tools to chance (unless an experienced M&E specialist is a full-time member of the team) and significantly reduces the quality of reporting. Ideally, ILO should have an M&E tool available for such interventions.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO could develop or acquire a project monitoring software for the purpose of M&E of projects that work with large numbers of sub-projects. An M&E desk at HQ or in regional offices could train field teams in using the software, and provide technical backstopping.
