What is monitoring?
• Collecting information about your project
• Planned, organised and regular collection
• Information about activities, services, users, outside factors
What is evaluation?
• Using information collected during monitoring
• Helps to answer:
- How well are we doing?
- Are we doing the right things?
- What difference are we making?
• Analyse/assess key issues → action
Why monitor and evaluate?• Learning and development
- What happened and why?
- What is working? What is not working?
- Adapt to changing needs
• Accountability
- Evidence of successes or challenges for sharing with stakeholders
What should we monitor and evaluate?

• Prioritise outcomes (things that will happen because of the training)
• Quantitative and qualitative data
Prioritising outcomes
• I’d expect to see…
• I’d like to see…
• I’d love to see…
all participants deliver at least three workshops themselves
regular discussion between all master trainers on the challenges they face and possible solutions
50% of participants training their colleagues to train others
When should we monitor and evaluate?
• Training needs assessment
• During the event
• Immediately after the event
• Some weeks/months later
INASP’s experience
• Work with partner country colleagues to assess needs
• Facilitator/co-facilitator observe/make notes during the workshop
• Evaluation forms completed by participants
• Direct follow-up (by phone or email)
Using evaluation forms• Widely used; great variety
• Relevant questions; useful answers
• Comparing different forms
- 4 forms to look at
- Advantages (pink)
