description:

The ERA project M&E system has three linked and user-friendly databases covering M&E, training and contracts. It has developed a good M&E framework based on ILO guidelines for monitoring, reporting and evaluation, which is also fully compliant with the M&E requirements of the EC (funding agency). The M&E framework is intrinsically linked to the project logframe and includes workers surveys, community satisfaction surveys and traffic counts and “Community Snapshots”. Community Snapshots are designed to assess the impact of the roads on the beneficiary communities by comparing their situation before, immediately after and sometime after the road rehabilitation. The ERA M&E system is easy to use, provides the required information to straightforwardly prepare progress reports and inform stakeholders, and allows the project managers at any time to have access to vital management information. This, for example, has it made easy for evaluators to access the necessary statistical data and impact information. The Community Snapshot tool is an excellent impact assessment tool in in the absence of a full baseline study, a situation, which is quite often the case in road projects. Replication of this tool with amendments to adjust to the local context and information needs of project partners is feasible. The ILO’s EIIP has acquired extensive experience on how to support the domestic construction sector and the provision of rural access through the application of labour-based technology. The ERA Community Snapshot system is a handy tool to assess impact effects and thus is replicable.
