action_plan:

Given the up scaling of FAIRWAY into a global project, it may be preferable to have one M&E officer across both Africa and the Middle East. At the same time, the project acknowledges that having more staff with knowledge of the Arabic context and language is important (not just for M&E purposes) and has already recruited a part-time Arabic speaking officer in Amman, and commenced recruitment for an Arabic-speaking Technical Officer in Beirut.

title:

Consider appointing personnel for M&E purposes with knowledge of the Arabic context and language The M&E system has strongly improved form the mid-term evaluation, however it might be further improved in the following areas: 1) Behavioural change-related activities need a baseline study in the duration of the project, and ex-post impact assessment, as the intended impacts need a long time to take effect; and 2) Media-related activities need to measure impact on language used by media practitioners/journalists trained, as well as impact on readers. Appointing a consultant / part-time staff who brings in expertise in M&E and Arabic language would permit to design a stronger monitoring system for the Phase 2 and ensure that impact of behavioural change- and media-related activities is properly assessed. An M&E consultant could design, in coordination with the ROAS M&E Officer, pre- and post- training tests, baseline and end line surveys, ensure analysis of findings and provide feedback to the project team about results and suggestions for adaptation of project strategies. Similarly, in line with recommendation 2, he/she could participate to the identification and design of interim steps towards policy change in coordination with the Regional Programme Unit.
