MONITORING AND EVALUATION CONSULTANCY PRACTICE

Our Services

Monitoring and Evaluation plays key role for the successful implementation of any type of project. Evaluation of work authorization, performance analysis, evaluation of technical analysis, evaluation of project control, scheduling and budgeting are some of factors to be evaluated before getting into the projects. After successful approval of the necessary requirements reporting system should be organized and it should be monitored regularly.

The evaluation of human resource begins upper management to the middle management. Therefore the authorities in each level have to review up the tasks they are authorized to perform according to the schedule, work, and budget. The data required are collected and the works in progress are periodically collected and entered into a project cost accounting system.

The project can be controlled in three phases...

• Setting performance standards.
• Comparing actual performance with the standards.
• Taking corrective actions.

The status of the project can be evaluated in terms of...

• Budgeted cost of work scheduled.
• Actual cost of work performed.
• Budgeted cost of work performed.

Approach

Our approach to monitoring and evaluation is multidisciplinary - connecting technical processes with the social, economic and institutional elements.
Historically, evaluation has merely focused on reporting on what has been achieved through the use of quantitative indicators.
However if evaluation is to be useful for management and learning it must address not only the question of what has been achieved but also the questions of; why has there been success or failure; so what are the implications for the projects; and now what will be done about the situation. In our view, the why, so what and now what questions can generally only be addressed through open dialogue between all actors involved in a specific development intervention and require effective use of qualitative methodologies. CTPD Management Consultants have a strong record in using participatory techniques for creating optimal interaction and an open dialogue between stakeholders during the evaluation process.
