Why monitoring?

Monitoring differs from ‘evaluation’ in that it:

› Has an internal focus

› Provides ongoing information- About inputs and outputs as well as outcomes

› Is a local information system designed, managed and used by CBR managers and stakeholders

› Enables managers and staff to identify and check for progress, changes or problems (person or program) - Leading to possible program adjustments

4

Why a menu and guidelines?

Monitoring should be:

› In the hands of program managers and stakeholders

› Able to be adapted to local conditions

› Based on best practice and established knowledge- Promoting standards but allowing choice from a ‘menu’ of items

› Empowering

› Tools with guidelines, not a formulaic recipe book

Similar to the CBR guidelines!

Literature review (1)

› What tools and methods have been used for monitoring and evaluating CBR?- Who used them?

- In what country or setting?

- Who was involved in providing information ?

- What is the goal of the program and how does it relate to CBR matrix?

- How do tools relate to CBR matrix?

- Does the monitoring and evaluation link to the CBR principles?

- Purpose of monitoring and evaluation?

Review of literature (2)

Can evaluations of CBR programmes be mapped onto the CBR Matrix and ICF framework?

Collaborative information design

We:› Discussed information

needs in terms of 4 basic questions

› Developed unstructured lists of items

› Grouped and related the items to standard frameworks where possible

Possible uses of the monitoring menu in near futureLao PDR

› Designing information collection at village level, or database (central)

› Progress in the village/community – evaluating program

› CBR worker performance and development

› Monitoring service use and progress for people with disabilities

› Identifying and monitoring the influence of the environment on participation

› Empowering- Community role in creating empowering environment - Monitoring: Awareness–

acceptance, and then involvement

› Enhance knowledge and skills of the personnel in early intervention area with available resources (e.g. as a planning and awareness raising checklist)
